伴随老龄化社会的到来，日益增长的养老服务需求与相对短缺的养老服务供给之间的矛盾日益突出，成为实现“老有所养”目标的重要障碍。在此特殊背景下，宗教机构养老作为一种养老服务的补充形式在我国部分地区出现和发展。浙江温州基督教会柳市堂的“敬老之家”即是典型一例，它由宗教机构创办，借助宗教活动场所和教徒奉献，以非盈利方式向特定老年人群提供以精神关怀为特色的综合性养老服务。宗教机构养老受社会养老需求、宗教的慈爱精神和慈善传统、国家的社会政策、服务资源的供给、服务对象的主观意愿等因素影响。作为一种独特的养老服务方式，宗教机构养老具有独特的社会功能和积极的社会价值，但需要进一步规范和引导。

With the coming of aging society , the contradiction between the growing demand for and the shortage of elder care services has become increasingly prominent , which becomes the obvious barrier to achie-ving the goal of “the elderly being looked after properly”.Under such circumstances , elder care by religious institutions as a supplement of caring the aged appeared and has developed in some regions of China .Wenzhou Christianity Liushi Church ’ s“Jinglaozhijia” ( care home ) is a typical example .It is organized by religious in-stitutions with their aid of religious activity venues and Christian dedication .As a non-profit service , it pro-vides a comprehensive service which features the mental care of the specific elder group .Elder care by reli-gious institutions is often affected by many factors , such as the social demand for caring the aged , religious spirit of love and the tradition of charity , national policies , the supply of service resources , service object ’ s choices, etc.As a unique way of caring the aged , elder care by religious institutions has unique social func-tions and positive social values , but it needs to be further normalized and guided .
