Teacher Formation Talks addressing Gender Theory organised by the C.D.E.C.
澳門教區天主教教育委員會於二月至三月期間，分別舉辦了七場題為「《天主造了一男一女》在教育領域內關於性別議題的對話之路」的教師培訓講座。講座面向澳門教區屬下九所學校的全體教學人員，並由教區首牧李斌生主教親自編選內容及主講，內容主要圍繞聖座文化和教育部於二零一九年二月發佈的同題文獻。是次講座舉辦目的在於討論性別理論對天主教教育的挑戰，以及提高教師對天主教身體神學所倡導之價值的認識，再透過有關價值觀延伸至婚姻和家庭的真正意義。
The Diocesan Catholic Education Commission of Macao (C.D.E.C.) has organised seven sessions of teacher formation talks entitled "The Vatican Responds to Gender Theory: 'Male and Female He Created Them.'" in February and March. The talks were delivered by the Reverend Bishop Stephen Lee Bun-Sang to all teachers in the nine Diocesan Schools of Macao, with contents drawn mainly from the document “Male and Female He Created Them” – Towards a Path of Dialogue on the Question of Gender Theory in Education published by the Dicastery for Culture and Education in February 2019. The talks aim to address the impact of gender theory on Catholic education, as well as to raise awareness about the Catholic values from the theology of the body that can extend to the real meaning of marriage and family.

近年逐漸成為社會趨勢的性別理論主張性別自主，提倡人的性別不一定由其生理性別決定，強調成長環境及社會文化所建構的心理性別，每個人皆有權選擇自己屬意的性別。然而，這概念明顯有違倫理教導。天主教價值觀重視天主造人的計劃和男女互補的重要性，天主按照自己的肖像造了一男一女，將具有男性和女性特質的身體賜給我們，這種區別對於人類身份、婚姻以至建立家庭的意義至關重要。
Gender theory has gained social popularity in recent years, it promotes the idea that an individual's gender is not necessarily determined by their biological sex, but by the psychological gender constructed by environment and social culture in the upbringing, that everyone has the right to choose his or her own gender. This concept has led to many conflicts with Catholic values, which emphasise the importance of the natural order of creation and the complementary nature of male and female. The Catholic Church teaches that God created humans in His own image and granted us bodies with male and female characteristics, and that this distinction is essential to the meaning of human identity and sexuality, as well as marriage and the creation of a family.

教區天主教教育委員會辦事處主任陳庭鋒博士表示：「教委會委員們針對天主教學校青年培育的挑戰提出了很多的建議，經討論後大家決議可從教師培訓開始，我們相信老師不僅是學生的同行者，更是背負培育學生思維及心靈方面的身教和言教責任的引導者。透過加深老師對天主教價值觀的了解，寄望所有學科的老師們都能同心協力引導學生認識基督精神。」
"Our commission members made a number of suggestions concerning challenges of youth formation in Catholic Schools, and after a series of discussion it was decided that we could start with training for teachers. We believe that on top of being a companion, our teachers play a critical role in shaping the minds and hearts of our students," said Dr. Stephen Chan Teng-Fong, Office Director of the Diocesan Catholic Education Commission. "By providing our fellow teachers with a deeper understanding of the Catholic values, we hope that they can better guide our students in knowing the Christian Spirit."
