關於我們

三棱鏡文化（Prism Cultural Connections, PCC，中文簡稱“三棱鏡”）受三棱鏡在陽光下產生七色光譜現象的啟發，希望藉著我們在文化交流方面所付出的努力，產生多元的思想碰撞和祝福社會的多層效應。

1666年牛頓发现了太阳光線经三棱镜折射后所呈现的色散現象。我們相信，人類文明的源頭思想也能經過“三棱鏡”的工作產生散射效應，形成對當今社會多重富有建設意義的正面影響。我們是一群有強烈文化使命的志願者，我們願意在當今令人挫折的文化現實中，撥開迷霧，正本清源，尋找普世價值觀念的源頭。我們發現，主導當今世界文明走向的信仰和思想的源頭存在於西亞底格里斯河和幼發拉底河流域的古希伯來文化中，以《塔納赫》（含妥拉、先知書、聖錄，後稱《希伯來聖經》）、《塔木德》、《米德拉什》等古典文獻為載具，經過歷世歷代有識之士的實踐、研究和傳播，這種文化中的契約精神、法律精神、倫理秩序、道德規範、教育原則、生命理解、宗教情懷、人文關懷、生態理念都融入了後續產生的基督教文明，基督教文明又在與歐洲古希羅哲學文明衝擊、交匯、融合的過程裡，形成了所謂“西方文化”。

與希伯來文明相仿，在南亞的恆河流域、東亞的黃河流域也衍生出印度和中華文明，以“東方文化”的姿態參與了人類文明的進程。為東西方文化的交流、對比、互動盡上一份努力，就是“三棱鏡”的初衷了。我們借朱熹《觀書有感.其一》以言志：

半亩方塘一鉴开，天光云影共徘徊。
问渠那得清如许？为有源头活水来。

我們願意在半畝方塘之地，以教學、研討、平面媒體專欄、開發課件等方式，讓天光雲影折射出真理的光芒，祝福萬民，都能得享源頭活水的甘甜。

我們又以《聖經.創世紀》中，耶和華上帝與猶太人的先祖亞伯拉罕立約時的吩咐為宗旨，用我們的工作傳播公義、慈愛、憐憫、饒恕、奉獻、服務、平等、自由、尊重這樣一些思想理念，以此祝福鄰舍，祝福社會。耶和華對亞伯拉罕說，“我必賜福給你…,你也要叫別人得福…,地上的萬族都要因你得福。”

About Us

Our name Prism Cultural Connections (PCC) is inspired by a light prism which refracts one ray of light into a colorful cascade of seven main colors. In the same way that a prism demonstrates how one ray of light can be transformed to illuminate something with depth of color, we strive to be the prism that can shed depth of understanding to groups of people who may not yet have experienced the world through the lens of the Christian religion.

We are a group of volunteers who hope to have a cascading effect on others by being a blessing to those who desire to expand their knowledge of different cultural values than their own. We have a strong desire to help communities who may not have had the opportunity to explore other values through different religions by providing people with the opportunity to expand their knowledge about religions practiced in different cultures..

We find that the origin of Christianity in the civilized world today seems to come from what in the Hebrew Bible is referred to as the “Tanakh” (which includes the Torah, book of Prophets, and the Nevi’im), “Talmud”, and “Midrash”. Throughout many generations, these provided the foundation of the Hebrew Bible, which through quality quality quality, have fused to establish the underlying qualities that all cultures based in Christianity have. After living through the Hellenistic and Roman times, this became what we now might refer to as the culture of the “Western World”.

The Eastern world also contributed to the advancement of civilization over time, as represented by the Indian culture in the Heng He region and Chinese culture in the Yellow river region. PCC’s goal is to connect these two cultures that stemmed from different origins together. We provide a platform for research, ideological exploration, and teaching so that people who desire to expand their knowledge of the Western world can do so, finding truth along the way. We hope to bless others with a new and Biblical understanding of what righteousness, love, grace, forgiveness, service, equality, freedom, and respect are.

God said to Abraham, “I will bless you… and you will be a blessing to others, and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you”. -Genesis 12:2-3
