Chinese term or phrase: 神学思想建设
This phrase appears repeatedly in a theological review written by a Christian minister in China. Although the words themselves are quite simple, I am not sure if there is a standard academic translation or a translation used by the Church. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

One of the traditional definitions of the functions of management is "to establish and maintain." To establish is to construct, to start, to make or to create. To maintain is to retain the status quo or to develop further what has been established. Only after the establishment or construction of something can it be maintained or developed afterwards.

Theological ideology development


Explanation:
思想建设 sounds very much like a communist propaganda idiom in China. But if it has to be put together with theology, this might be a rough term I could think of.

(Maybe this is a report from a certain government sanctioned church, possibly letting the Religious Affairs Bureau know what work they have done over the past year? Just my guess about the context.)
