Abstract

The study explores the role of the Personal Evangelization School (PES) as a structured model of lay formation in fostering apostolate spirituality within the contemporary Church, particularly in the Indonesian context and the digital era. Rooted in the ecclesiology of the Second Vatican Council, the study responds to challenges such as secularization, limited lay formation, and the expansion of digital culture. Using a qualitative descriptive approach based on literature review and supported by observational data from PES activities in the Suffragan Diocese of Bogor, the study analyzes the theological foundations and pastoral practices of PES. The findings show that PES effectively cultivates lay apostolate spirituality by integrating personal encounter with Christ, communal participation, and missionary engagement. A key contribution of the study lies in demonstrating how digital platforms, such as Zoom, reshape the nature of ―personal encounter‖ through mediated, dialogical, and reflective interactions. While these digital encounters foster authentic forms of communion, They remain distinct from the embodied presence required in sacramental life. In conclusion, PES emerges as a strategic pastoral instrument that bridges theological reflection and pastoral praxis, forming missionary disciples capable of engaging both physical and digital spaces.

Abstract

The study examines the doctrine of salvation from the perspectives of the Catholic and Protestant Churches through a theological-comparative analysis grounded in Scripture, tradition, and the historical development of theology. Employing a qualitative, library-based research approach, it highlights both the fundamental differences and the points of convergence between the two traditions, particularly concerning the relationship among faith, grace, and works in the process of salvation. Catholic theology emphasizes salvation as a participatory process involving divine grace, human freedom, and mediation through the sacraments and the life of the Church. In contrast, Protestant theology, especially within the Reformation tradition, affirms the principles of sola gratia and sola fide, understanding salvation as a gift of God received through faith apart from human effort. Despite differing theological emphases, both traditions acknowledge that salvation originates from the initiative of God’s love in Christ. The study demonstrates that ecumenical dialogue fosters a more integrative understanding and contributes to a more holistic interpretation of salvation within contemporary Christianity.
