This article offers the notion of ‘blue disciple’ as a constructive concept that might encourage and enlarge Christian engagements in dealing with the contemporary marine ecological crisis. I start with a discussion on the sea in Christian ecological discourse and practice. Then, I reread Jesus’ call for the four Galilean fishermen in Mark 1:16–20 to construct this idea of a blue disciple navigated by the community of creation paradigm. The blue disciple insists that engaging in efforts to overcome the marine ecological crisis in order to let the sea and its creatures flourish is a Christian call. Christian churches are, thus, invited to participate in a blue discipleship.

蓝色门徒:基督徒在危险中呼唤大海

本文提供了“蓝色门徒”的概念,作为一个建设性的概念,可以鼓励和扩大基督徒参与应对当代海洋生态危机。我从基督教生态话语和实践中关于海洋的讨论开始。然后,我重读了耶稣在马可福音 1:16-20 中对四个加利利渔夫的呼召,以构建由创造共同体范式引导的蓝色门徒的想法。蓝门徒坚称,为克服海洋生态危机而努力,让海洋及其生物繁荣昌盛,是基督徒的呼召。因此,基督教会被邀请参加蓝色门徒训练。
