Sammendrag
My research question is as follows:

How do diaconal agents at different levels in China understand the term diakonia

and its theological foundation, and how does this find expression in their self-

understanding, education and relationship with society?

Because of the lack of literature on the diaconal work in China, the basis for this study

are interviews with China experts, the management of the China Christian Council,

Amity Foundation, people that work within the provincial councils and churches in

China, diaconal students in Hong Kong and other key persons with knowledge of the

topic.

The Chinese word for diakonia is shè guān fú chi, witch means Society-

Care-Service. The word diakonia is a new concept in China and because of this, most of

my informants will find it difficult to relate to this term. Other informants are familiar

with the concept of diakonia, but thinks of it as a western concept more related to the

Lutheran church. I have therefore chosen to use the words Christian Social Service

instead of diakonia in my interviews and interview guides. Since the two organizations

have chosen have somewhat different approaches to their social service, I have chosen to

focus on their understanding of the term diakonia, self-understanding as diaconal agents

and to what extent training and education is given to nourish and inspire continuing

Christian social service.
