李佳白与尚贤堂&清末民初在华传教士活动个案研究

Gilbert Reid and the International Institute of China & A Case Study of Foreign Missionary Activities in Late Qing and Early Republic China

第一章阐述了李佳白的教育背景和来华早期在山东的传教活动。

Chapter One introduces the educational background of Gilbert Reid and his activities as a missionary in Shandong provinces in his early years in China .

结论指出，李佳白是一个具有浓厚中国情结的传教士，也是认同中国文化的西方人。

We should point out that Gilbert Reid was a missionary with strong Chinese perplex and at the same time , a westerners who identified Chinese culture .

李佳白与袁世凯的关系折射出庚子事变后中外关系的变化，也反映了传教士对袁世凯和辛亥革命的态度。

The relation between Gilbert Reid and Yuan Shikai refracts the change of Chinese and foreign relationship , and reflectes Missionary 's attitute to Yuan Shikai and 1911 Revolution .

学术界对清末民初来华传教士的个案研究相对较少，对李佳白的研究更为不足。

There is relatively few case study on the missionary in China of late Qing and the early Republic of China period , and researches on Gilbert Reid are even less .

但是，李佳白不是政治家，也不是革命家，他只是一个由传教士转变为同情、支持中国改良和进步的改良主义者和社会活动家。

However , he was neither a politician nor social revolutionist ; he , as a missionary , transformed to and was merely a reformist and social activist who sympathized and supported Chinese reform and progress .

创办和主持尚贤堂是李佳白在华最为重要的活动内容，集中体现了他的各教联合的宗教思想。

Establishing and taking charge of the daily activities of The International Institute of China , which reflected his religious thought of the union of different religion , consisted of the most important activities of Gilbert Reid in China .

李佳白以传教士的身份到中国，但是他的活动不局限于宗教活动，他参与了中国的政治、文化、外交活动，是一个具有多重身份的人物，因而他的影响也具有多重性。

Reid came to China as a missionary , but his activities had gone beyond the religious one . He participated in the political , cultural and foreign affairs of China , therefore he was a multi-sided figure and his impact on Chinese society was multiple .

但是他反对激进、主张改良的方式却不为中国人民所接受。本文认为：李佳白是一个集传教士、社会活动家、和平主义者为一体的历史人物。

However , his preference of reform rather than radical revolution proved to be unacceptable in Chinese people . This thesis holds that Gilbert Reid was such a historical figure that he took the characteristics of a missionary , a social activist and a pacifist in one .
