Reuniting with friends I haven’t seen for a long time, I find that everyone is still tirelessly working on Indigenous affairs in their respective regions, which makes me feel my own limitations and inadequacies. Geneva, as a center for global religion and international cooperation, indeed holds a unique position. Not only does it play a significant role in the history of the Christian Reformation, but it also serves as a platform for discussion and collaboration among international organizations, including the United Nations. Being able to discuss the various issues we face today with Indigenous church friends from all over the world on such an international stage is undoubtedly a profound and inspiring experience. These discussions cover a range of issues, including the defense of land rights, preservation of culture and language, political oppression, transmission of traditional knowledge, and the far-reaching impact of climate change on Indigenous communities. Through these discussions, we gain a deep understanding of the common challenges and unique experiences faced by Indigenous peoples in different regions. These invaluable experiences and wisdom can undoubtedly provide guidance and inspiration to other Indigenous communities around the world. I pray that through such dialogue and exchange, we can foster greater understanding and support, empowering Indigenous communities worldwide to uphold their cultures and values in the face of present challenges, while gaining increased respect and justice. May the Lord guide us as we confront global challenges together, leading us towards a more harmonious and just future. As an Indigenous pastor from Taiwan and a member of the WCC advisory group, I hope to play a unique role in this position by: 1. Advocating for Indigenous Voices and Perspectives: Promoting more focus on Indigenous issues within the WCC, ensuring that challenges faced by Taiwanese Indigenous peoples, such as land rights, cultural preservation, economic hardships, and climate change, are recognized on a global church platform. 2. Building Cross-Cultural Dialogue: Using my background to foster understanding and support across cultures, and strengthening connections between Indigenous communities worldwide by sharing stories of faith, life experiences, and learning from each other’s contexts and faith practices. 3. Promoting Social Justice Issues: WCC places great importance on social justice, and I hope to assist in advancing more Indigenous-related justice issues, such as environmental protection, land rights, and educational opportunities, making the WCC's social care work more comprehensive. 4. Supporting Education and Cultural Preservation: Within the WCC framework, I aim to support educational resources and cultural preservation, particularly for Indigenous people in Taiwan and other nations, promoting policies and actions rooted in respect for cultural and linguistic diversity. 5. Supporting the Development of Indigenous Pastors: Seeking support within the WCC to nurture and allocate resources to Indigenous pastors, encouraging more young Indigenous people to join faith-based service, thereby strengthening the leadership of Indigenous churches. These contributions not only amplify the voice of Taiwanese Indigenous peoples on a global scale but also help the WCC better understand and respond to the needs and calls of Indigenous communities worldwide. 這是我第一次來日內瓦開會，謝謝台灣基督長老教會（PCT）與世界傳道會（CWM）的推薦，可以參加WCC的原住民諮詢小組討論。遇到許久不見的普世友人，雖然經過三年多疫情的挑戰，大家依舊努力都在各地為原住民事務奮鬥，真的感覺到自己的有很多可以學習的地方與交流。 日內瓦作為全球宗教和國際合作的中心，確實具有其獨特的地位。它不僅在基督教改革歷史中佔有重要的一席之地，也是聯合國等國際機構討論和合作的平台。在這樣一個國際舞台上，能與來自全球各地的原住民教會朋友共同探討當今面臨的多重議題，無疑是令人震撼且啟發深刻的經驗。 這些議題涵蓋了土地權益的捍衛、文化與語言的保存、政治上的壓迫、傳統知識的傳承，以及氣候變遷對原住民生活的深遠影響。通過這些討論，讓人深刻認識到不同地區原住民族群的共同挑戰與獨特經驗。而這些寶貴的經驗與智慧，無疑可為世界上其他原住民社群提供借鑑與啟示。 祈禱通過這樣的對話與交流，能帶來更多的理解與支持，推動世界各地的原住民族群在面對現實挑戰時，能夠堅持他們的文化和價值觀，並獲得更多的尊重和公義。願上主的引領，讓我們在共同面對全球挑戰的過程中，走向一個更和諧與公義的未來。 身為台灣的原住民牧者，並且擔任WCC諮詢小組成員，期待可以在這個崗位上發揮許多獨特的作用： 1. 促進原住民聲音與視角：在WCC內推動更多關注原住民的議題，讓台灣原住民面臨的挑戰，例如土地權利、文化保存、經濟困境、氣候變遷等，在全球教會平台上得到重視。 2. 建立跨文化對話：利用本身的背景，促進不同文化間的理解與支持，且推動全球其他原住民族群之間的連結，分享台灣原住民的信仰故事、生活經歷，並學習彼此的處境與信仰實踐。 3. 推動社會公義議題：WCC重視社會公義，而您可以協助推動更多與原住民相關的公義議題，像是環境保護、土地權益、教育機會等，讓WCC的社會關懷工作更加全面。 4. 教育與文化保存：在WCC框架下，支持教育資源和文化保存，特別針對台灣和其他國家中的原住民，推動以尊重文化和語言多樣性為基礎的政策與行動。 5. 支持原住民牧者的發展：在WCC中尋求支持原住民牧者的培育和資源分配，鼓勵更多年輕原住民投入信仰服務，從而壯大原住民教會的領導力量。 這些貢獻不僅能強化台灣原住民在普世的聲音，也能幫助WCC更好地理解和回應全球原住民的需求與呼聲。
