本文比較伊斯蘭與更正教的社會參與因素與教導。研究顯示香港更正教的社會參與較多的主要因素如下：（1）香港穆斯林是多元民族，其中包括邊緣化的少數族裔，他們的團結受到影響，而他們自身的經濟資源也不足以維持任何龐大的社會事業。（2）他們是香港以外向心的，他們對普世穆斯林的關懷削弱了本土的社會參與。（3）某些更正教會一開始就集合海外和本地資源，又接受殖民地政府的津貼，如此就能承擔龐大的社會事業。（4）因為人的問題是社會問題的根源，一些更正教會以傳福音為承擔社會使命的一種方法，甚至是最好的方法，因為傳福音才可以改變人的根本罪性問題。

ABSTRACT

This paper compares the factors affecting the social participation of the Islamic Community and the Protestant Churches of Hong Kong. The study shows that the Hong Kong Protestant churches have a greater involvement in social participation mainly because of the following factors: ( 1 ) The Hong Kong Muslims are multiracial and some are marginalized minority people . Thus, their solidarity is affected and their financial resources are insufficient to run a large social enterprise. ( 2 ) They are world’s Muslims oriented and their concerns paid to the world’s Muslims weaken their local social participation. ( 3 ) Right at the beginning , some Protestant churches drew on as many overseas and local financial resources , and received the colonial government’s subsidies , so that they could shoulder up a great social enterprise . ( 4 ) Since the problem of man is the root of all social problems , some Protestant churches consider evangelism to be a way of carrying out the social mission . Some even consider it to be the best way since it solves the problem of the sin of man.
