摘要： 宗教和慈善事业的关系，是中国宗教界，包括教众团体、管理部门和和宗教研究机构一直忽视讨论的问题。近年来由于各界的努力和提倡，这个重要问题已经得到应有的关注。以意大利天主教平信徒慈善组织圣艾智德团体为借鉴，并以上海市基督教普安堂组织平信徒慈善活动为基点，结合中国和世界历史上各大信仰和宗教处理慈善事业的经验的考察，可以重新检讨中国当今宗教慈善事业的理论、历史和实践问题。从“宗教慈善”的本质属性来看，宗教慈善应该列为与政府公益事业、私人团体的慈善事业并列的重要活动，某种意义上应列为社会上的“第四部门”。

Abstract: Taking religious institution as a body for charity, this paper deals with some current affairs debating in the field of religious governance. The author suggests that religious institution has been the main body for charity in the history of world and China as well. The religious motivation and practicing has been the origin of charity. Then the paper takes the examples from an Italian Catholic charity organization of Community of Sant’Edegio and a Shanghai Protestant charity group from Pu’an Church to examine the relationship between religion and charity. The author suggests that the charity invested by religious institution should be distinguished as the “fourth section” when sociologists take charity as the “third section”.
