Abstract

This article discusses culture and faith through an intercultural approach in the approach of Christian Religious Education (PAK) and places the traditional culture of Sasi worship in Halmahera as the main case study. This research uses a reflective qualitative approach with hermeneutic, phenomenological and cultural philosophical analyses to interpret the meaning of Sasi worship as a cultural practice but which has also undergone integration with the Christian faith. The results of the study will try to show that Sasi worship is not only a celebration of buaday with a customary-ecological mechanism, but also a theological and pedagogical space in representing ecological spirituality, responsibility ethics, and contextual and transformative faith education. From the perspective of PAK, this tradition serves as a learning medium for grounded faith, teaching the value of creation ministry, social solidarity and life balance.

Abstract

This study aims to identify Christian values-based entrepreneurship opportunities in Christian Religious Education (PAK) in the digital age. The approach used is qualitative with a conceptual paper method that emphasizes analysis, synthesis, and reflection on the sources of Christian theology, education, and modern entrepreneurship. The results of the study show that entrepreneurial opportunities in PAK can be developed through digital innovation, church-based community strengthening, social mission-based education, and the integration of faith values in the learning process. Entrepreneurship in this perspective is not only understood as an economic activity, but also as an expression of faith and a vocation within the framework of the missio Dei. This study resulted in a conceptual model of Faith–Context–Innovation (FCI) that integrates faith, context analysis, and innovation as a whole in developing Christian entrepreneurship in education.
