Abstract

The phenomenon of megachurches represents one of the most significant developments in contemporary Christianity, reflecting shifts in church organizational structures, leadership patterns, and engagement with modern culture. Despite their rapid growth, megachurches have drawn criticism, particularly regarding reliance on charismatic leadership, the prominence of prosperity theology narratives, and the potential weakening of communal dimensions in church life. This study aims to analyze the megachurch phenomenon through an interdisciplinary approach that integrates the sociology of religion and ecclesiological reflection. Employing a qualitative method, this research utilizes literature analysis and a phenomenological approach to understand leadership dynamics and religious practices within large church contexts. The findings indicate that megachurch growth is driven by a combination of charismatic leadership, complex organizational systems, and adaptation to contemporary culture, including digitalization and religious consumerism. However, this model also generates tension with New Testament ecclesiological principles that emphasize participatory community and servant leadership. This study contributes to practical theology by offering an integrative analysis and provides a reflective basis for churches to evaluate their organizational forms and leadership practices in light of foundational theological principles.

Abstract

The development of digital culture has given rise to scroll culture as a pattern of information consumption that shapes modern human attention through rapid and continuous streams of digital stimuli. This study aims to analyze the relationship between scroll culture, attention fragmentation, and the crisis of contemplation from the perspective of Christian theology. The research employs a qualitative method using a library research approach through an interdisciplinary analysis of media theory, digital culture, and Christian spirituality. The findings indicate that scrolling culture, shaped by the mechanisms of the attention economy, drives individuals toward fragmented, accelerated, and distracted patterns of attention. This condition not only affects human cognitive patterns but also weakens the capacity for reflection, silence, and spiritual contemplation. From a theological perspective, attention is understood as a spiritual dimension related to humanity's relationship with God. Therefore, attention fragmentation in the digital era can be understood as a form of spiritual crisis in contemporary human life. This study also demonstrates that scroll culture may be understood as a form of "digital liturgy" that shapes human attentional habits through repetitive scrolling practices. In response to this condition, contemplative spirituality is regarded as essential for restoring attention, silence, and relational depth amid a culture of digital distraction.
