To better understand the preferred role of faith-based organizations in secular society, the Canadian Council of Churches partnered with researchers to explore current systems of poverty reduction. The nature of the systems involved in attending to the underlying collective subjectivities (i.e., group/communally-shaped psychological experiences such as shared motivations, values, and aspirations) often being overlooked was justification for the importance of the research. These collective subjectivities are the forces that often drive system functioning. We conducted exploratory qualitative work situated in a theoretical frame informed by bringing together systems theory along with cultural psychology (an approach that focuses on socio-communally shaped collective subjectivities). In turn, this theoretical frame-shaped how Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis was employed. A total of 33 participants' collective subjectivities undergirding systems surrounding poverty reduction reveals a missional faith foundation leading toward perceived essential processes of advocacy and congregational connections bridging communal divisions. They see themselves as distinctly striving to create opportunities that encourage poverty alleviation in a holistic and dignified manner reflected in a multidimensional understanding of poverty. Perceived procedural tension exists between giving (that has long-lasting change and resonates with colonial forms of charity) and forming relationships can help people more effectively.

体验加拿大教会工作者的异象：探索参与减贫的心态助推系统

为了更好地了解宗教组织在世俗社会中的首选作用，加拿大教会理事会与研究人员合作探索当前的减贫系统。经常被忽视的涉及潜在集体主观性（即群体/社区塑造的心理体验，如共同的动机、价值观和愿望）的系统的性质是研究重要性的理由。这些集体主观性往往是推动系统运作的力量。我们在一个理论框架中进行了探索性的定性工作，该理论框架将系统理论与文化心理学（一种专注于社会共同形成的集体主体性的方法）结合在一起。反过来，这个理论框架塑造了解释性现象学分析的应用方式。共有 33 名参与者的集体主体性围绕着减贫系统，揭示了一个宣教信仰基础，导致感知的基本宣传过程和弥合社区分歧的会众联系。他们认为自己特别努力创造机会，以整体和有尊严的方式鼓励扶贫，这反映在对贫困的多维理解中。在给予（具有持久的变化并与殖民形式的慈善形式产生共鸣）和建立关系可以更有效地帮助人们之间存在感知的程序紧张。围绕减贫的体系支撑的集体主体性揭示了一个宣教信仰基础，导致了感知的基本宣传过程和弥合社区分歧的会众联系。他们认为自己特别努力创造机会，以整体和有尊严的方式鼓励扶贫，这反映在对贫困的多维理解中。在给予（具有持久的变化并与殖民形式的慈善形式产生共鸣）和建立关系可以更有效地帮助人们之间存在感知的程序紧张。围绕减贫的体系支撑的集体主体性揭示了一个宣教信仰基础，导致了感知的基本宣传过程和弥合社区分歧的会众联系。他们认为自己特别努力创造机会，以整体和有尊严的方式鼓励扶贫，这反映在对贫困的多维理解中。在给予（具有持久的变化并与殖民形式的慈善形式产生共鸣）和建立关系可以更有效地帮助人们之间存在感知的程序紧张。他们认为自己特别努力创造机会，以整体和有尊严的方式鼓励扶贫，这反映在对贫困的多维理解中。在给予（具有持久的变化并与殖民形式的慈善形式产生共鸣）和建立关系可以更有效地帮助人们之间存在感知的程序紧张。他们认为自己特别努力创造机会，以整体和有尊严的方式鼓励扶贫，这反映在对贫困的多维理解中。在给予（具有持久的变化并与殖民形式的慈善形式产生共鸣）和建立关系可以更有效地帮助人们之间存在感知的程序紧张。
