【摘要】: 1830年,摩門教由約瑟夫·史密斯(Joseph Smith)創(chuàng)立于紐約州,正式名稱為“耶穌基督后期圣徒教會”(the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints),它是美國最大的本土宗教。雖然摩門教發(fā)展到今天尚不足兩百年,但它已經(jīng)在宗派林立的美國社會站穩(wěn)了腳跟,并且具有相當?shù)挠绊懥Α?本文在簡單介紹摩門教基本教義與早期發(fā)展的基礎(chǔ)上,選取摩門教會的印第安人政策為研究對象,研究時段定為1851—1857年。猶他州是摩門教的大本營,1850—1896年的猶他領(lǐng)地時期可謂是它的奠基時代。帶領(lǐng)摩門教徒開創(chuàng)這一時代的是教會第二任會長楊百翰(Brigham Young),他同時身兼猶他領(lǐng)地總督的要職,對于教會和領(lǐng)地議會所制定的政策有著絕對影響力。1851—1857年,楊百翰又兼任猶他領(lǐng)地印第安人事務(wù)管理處主管之職,通過其任期內(nèi)各項印第安人政策的實踐,基本明確了摩門教會對印第安人事務(wù)的處理方向。 本論文共分四章,另加緒論和結(jié)語。 緒論部分論述了摩門教的研究意義,在對國內(nèi)外摩門教研究現(xiàn)狀進行梳理的同時,明確了繼續(xù)摩門教研究的基礎(chǔ)和可行性,并對本文的研究思路和主要框架作出說明。 第一章介紹摩門教的發(fā)展概況。包括摩門教的創(chuàng)立與早期在紐約州、俄亥俄州、密蘇里州和伊利諾伊州的發(fā)展,以及一夫多妻制等特殊的教義教規(guī),并較為詳細地敘述了摩門教的印第安人觀。 第二章研究摩門教會制定印第安人收養(yǎng)計劃的背景、內(nèi)容和影響。在猶他地區(qū)的印第安人奴隸貿(mào)易背景下,領(lǐng)地議會出臺了印第安人收養(yǎng)計劃,鼓勵摩門教徒收養(yǎng)印第安人,并逐步實現(xiàn)對他們的同化。但被收養(yǎng)的印第安人在同化過程中面臨重重困境,包括外界的接納度和自我身份的認同?傮w看來,由印第安人收養(yǎng)計劃而衍生出的同化進程是艱辛的。 第三章探析一場摩門教會與印第安人的激烈沖突——沃克沖突。通過對沃克沖突的原因、進程、結(jié)果的論述,分析摩門教與印第安人之間長期積累的各種矛盾。應(yīng)對沖突,楊百翰的安撫政策被證明行之有效,并由此影響到摩門教會的印第安人政策取向。 第四章研究摩門教會對印第安人的傳教工作。設(shè)立傳教區(qū)以加大對印第安人的傳教力度是摩門教會印第安人政策的重要組成部分。本章著重探討了埃爾克山傳教區(qū)和拉斯維加斯傳教區(qū)的組織模式,并由此對印白矛盾、教會世俗化等問題加以闡釋。同時,為了更好地推進傳教工作,教會鼓勵印白通婚并實施印第安人農(nóng)業(yè)計劃,這些政策得到了一定的落實,但達到的實際效果比較有限。 結(jié)語在緒論與正文的基礎(chǔ)上對摩門教會印第安人政策進行評價?隙四﹂T教會印第安人政策在制定上較之之前的歐洲人與聯(lián)邦政府要溫和、人道得多,具有一定的積極意義,但究其實質(zhì)還是出于自身宗教的實踐與現(xiàn)實的需要,并不具備反對種族歧視與奴隸制的進步性。
