由澳門大學澳門研究中心聯同澳門佛教總會、澳門道教協會、巴哈伊教澳門總會、澳門天主教文化協會、聖公會澳門傳道地區及澳門伊斯蘭文化交流促進會共同策劃的「融光不語・和諧澳門」多元文化沙龍，第三場系列活動於 3 月 19 日中午 在澳門大學崇文樓大堂舉行。是次沙龍以跨宗教深度對話為主軸，邀請聖公會澳門傳道地區潘靄君牧師，以及巴哈伊教澳門總會青年部秘書長劉慧琦小姐擔任主講嘉賓，圍繞基督教與巴哈伊教在澳門的社會實踐、核心理念及青年培育等議題展開交流，吸引眾多師生及公眾人士參與。
潘靄君牧師以聖公會立場分享基督教信仰核心，指出聖公會堅持不將人分類、不劃分等級，尊重每一個生命的獨特與尊貴。並紹聖公會在澳門實踐的「三頭馬車」模式，以教會、學校、社會服務緊密連結，透過多元化服務回饋社會、關懷社群，並分享與其他宗教團體交流互動的點點滴滴，以真實事例展現澳門跨宗教和諧共融的深厚傳統。劉慧琦小姐重點闡述了巴哈伊信仰的核心價值，強調信仰必須落實於行動，巴哈伊團體透過個人、家庭與社區層面的系統性學習與服務實踐，輔助大眾提升靈性與智力成長，推動社會整體福祉。
在青年培育方面，潘牧師強調，青年培育的核心是陪伴，信仰團體應以同行、友伴的關係與青年相處，以引導代替管教，讓年輕人真切體會到生命充滿盼望，明白自身與世界緊密相連，在愛中建立生命價值。劉小姐則分享，巴哈伊團體透過持續學習、實踐行動、彼此磋商與反思沉淀，培育青年獨立思考能力與社會服務意識，引領青年成為建設社會、貢獻社群的正向力量。
澳門大學澳門研究中心主任林玉鳳總結時感謝各宗教團體長期投入跨信仰對話，透過系列沙龍的真實分享，更深刻理解到宗教是兼具人文溫度與學術價值的研究領域。本場對話不僅加深與會者對不同信仰的理解與尊重，更為澳門多元文化、多元宗教和諧共存，提供了珍貴的啟示與實踐參考。

The Third Session of “Silent Radiance of Unity – Macao in Harmony” Multicultural Salon Held
Christianity and the Bahá’í Faith in Dialogue: Exploring Social Practice and Youth Development
The third session of the “Silent Radiance of Unity – Macao in Harmony” Multicultural Salon, jointly organized by the Centre for Macau Studies (CMS) of the University of Macau (UM) and the Buddhist Association of Macau, Macao Taoist Association, The Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Macau, Macao Catholic Culture Association, Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Missionary Area of Macau, and the Macau Islamic Cultural Exchange Promotion Association, was held at noon on 19 March at UM Cultural Building. Centered on in-depth interfaith dialogue, the session featured Pun Oi Kuan, the Revd Odette of the Sheng Kung Hui Missionary Area of Macau and Lao Wai Kei, Secretary of Youth Committee of the Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Macau. The discussion focused on social practices, core values, and youth development approaches of Christianity and the Bahá’í Faith in Macao, attracting participation from university members and the general public.
Reverend Pun shared the core perspectives of Christianity from the Anglican tradition, noting that the Church upholds the principle of respecting the dignity and uniqueness of every individual without categorization or hierarchy. She introduced the “three-pronged” model practiced by the Anglican Church in Macao, which closely connects religious institutions, schools, and social services. Through diversified services, the Church contributes to community care and social well-being. She also shared practical experiences of interaction and cooperation with other religious groups, illustrating Macao’s long-standing tradition of interfaith harmony. Ms. Lao elaborated on the core values of the Bahá’í Faith, emphasizing that beliefs should be translated into action. She explained that through systematic learning and service at the individual, family, and community levels, Bahá’í communities support participants’ spiritual and intellectual growth, while contributing to the overall well-being of society.
Regarding youth development, Reverend Pun emphasized that accompaniment is at the core of nurturing young people. She noted that faith communities should engage with youth through companionship and guidance rather than discipline, helping them recognize hope in life, understand their connection to the wider world, and build meaningful values. Ms. Lao shared that the Bahá’í community fosters youths’ independent thinking and sense of social service through continuous learning, practical action, collective consultation, and reflection, guiding them to become positive contributors to society.
In her concluding remarks, Prof. Lam Iok Fong, Director of CMS, expressed gratitude to the participating religious organizations for their long-term commitment to interfaith dialogue. She noted that the salon series, through authentic sharing and exchange, has deepened understanding of religion as a field that embodies both humanistic warmth and academic value. The dialogue not only enhanced mutual understanding and respect among participants, but also offered valuable insights and practical references for fostering cultural and religious harmony in Macao.
