Campus Frontline: Together. Alone (Inter-Colleges Bible Camp 2023)

Together and alone, two seemingly contradictory and incompatible terms, nevertheless speak to the hearts of students nowadays. Because of being alone, we seek a community. Although we are together, we still feel alone. “It is not good for that man to be alone.” Aloneness is the most basic state of human beings at the time of creation. How can we accept and respond to our being alone?

On December 27-30, 2023, our Inter College Department and Inter College Christian Fellowship held an Inter-Colleges Bible Camp on “Together and Alone” to review the discussion on community in John 1, and to rediscover the true nature of community of faith – its foundation, core values and mission.

Although greater effort is needed now than before the pandemic to engage with the community, most of the students have shown their commitment throughout the whole process, and there has been no lack of a joint school atmosphere with each other…

閱讀生活:成為有自我要求的閱讀群體 (492期)

活在文明社會,每人也有讀書機會,不同的教育制度塑造不同的「讀書」體會。香港人在求學時期為了應付考試、升學,必然讀過不少書籍,卻甚少思考「閱讀」到底是怎樣一回事。

甚麼是閱讀?《如何閱讀一本書》一書把閱讀的目的分為兩類 ——「增加資訊」和「增進理解力」,而閱讀的目的決定閱讀的方式。第一種意義的閱讀旨在吸收資訊,它預設讀者擁有與其讀物相應的理解力,故此主要運用讀者的記憶能力。但是,這類閱讀僅止於增加讀者的資訊量,未有帶來啟發作用。第二種意義的閱讀旨在令讀者對事情獲得更多理解,而不只是記住資訊。這預設讀物的水平比讀者高…
