Abstract
The Presbyterian Church in Taiwan (PCT) is not just religious organization, but also movement for social change and political rights. The church is very active in many different social events, as charity, education, health care... The church has proclaimed to become prophet for Taiwanese nation and critic of social and political iniquity. If inculturation is intentional transmission of system of ideas and values from one culture to another, than the PCT's Christian ideas (which are specific, but I realize they are not Western anymore) represent the system of cultural values that are trying to be passed to Taiwanese culture. This system includes not only religious beliefs, but also other cultural or political ideas. During process of inculturation, which can be observed in statements and documents of PCT, it is easy to see how important legitimization is, because it provides the church with recognition – and the church's ideas can be transferred only if they are widespread and identified. The questions that this paper aims to answer are how exactly has the PCT established legitimacy for its social involvement, which strategies has the PCT used, and if the problem of legitimacy is connected to process of inculturation.
Abstract (in Czech)
Presbyteriánska cirkev na Taiwane (PCT) nie je len náboženskou organizáciou, ale môže byť vnímaná ako hnutie za sociálne a politické zmeny. Táto cirkev je veľmi aktívna v rôznych odvetviach ako vzdelávanie, charita, zdravotná starostlivosť. Zároveň táto cirkev prehlásila, že sa stala prorokom taiwanského národa a kritikom nepráva páchaného na taiwanskom obyvateľstve. Ak je inkulturácia intencionálna snaha o prenos systému predstáv a ideí z jednej kultúry do druhej, tak verím, že práve prípad PCT poukazuje na to, ako prebieha prenos špecifických ideí reprezentovaných PCT (ktoré sú odlišné od taiwanských, ale nemusia byť výlučne západné) na taiwanskú kultúru. Inkulturácia nie je len prenos vlastných náboženských predstáv, ale zahŕňa taktiež politické či sociálne predstavy a presvedčenia. Proces inkulturácie sledujem na pozadí oficiálnych správ vydaných PCT od roku 1971. V týchto správach jasne vidíme, akú dôležitú úlohu zastáva legitimizácia. Táto práca si dáva za cieľ zistiť ako konkrétne PCT vytvorila legitimizačný rámec pre jej zapájanie do sociálnej a politickej sféry, aké konkrétne stratégie používa a ako je legitimizácia prepojená s procesom inkulturácie.
