Abstract

This article examines the enduring colonial legacy within Christian education in the Batak region, which has systematically marginalized indigenous knowledge and privileged Western pedagogical paradigms as the normative expression of Christianity. Focusing on the Sunday School ministry of the Huria Kristen Indonesia (HKI) church, the study initiates a critical inquiry into curriculum transformation through the lens of decolonial theory. Employing an interdisciplinary methodology that integrates the sociology of education, sociology of religion, and decolonial studies, qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interviews with two pastoral practitioners and contextual observations. The Batak philosophy of Sala Mandasor Sega Luhutan (SMSL) serves as a critical framework to deconstruct entrenched Eurocentric curricula and reconstruct pedagogical practices that center indigenous epistemology. Findings reveal that despite HKI’s historical resistance to missionary hegemony, its Sunday School curriculum remains dominated by hierarchical, banking-model pedagogy that treats children as passive recipients. Indigenous cultural elements are largely confined to ceremonial performances rather than substantive instructional integration, perpetuating epistemic alienation and dehumanization. The study argues that authentic decolonization requires pastors and educators to transition toward dialogical, problem-posing methodologies that recognize Sunday School children as active epistemic subjects bearing the imago Dei. By embedding Batak kinship values, oral traditions, and symbolic frameworks into core biblical instruction, Christian education can become a liberating practice that honors cultural heritage while fostering theological contextualization. This research offers a strategic pathway for ecclesiastical curriculum reform ahead of HKI’s centenary in 2027.

Abstract

TikTok can serve as an ecclesiological space, a platform for exploring the meaning of life, nurturing faith, and fostering spiritual growth. From a missiological perspective, TikTok offers opportunities for proclaiming salvation and facilitating digital encounters that engage individuals in meaningful ways. The primary aim of this PkM initiative is to educate and mentor the youth of GMIT Betania Teubaun Rabe, Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara. The project seeks to develop their capacity to utilize TikTok as a tool for church service and the proclamation of the Gospel of Christ. The approach integrates lectures, collaborative discussions, and hands-on training in using TikTok as a medium for ministry and digital evangelism. As a tangible outcome, the youth, alongside the church's multimedia team, were encouraged to form a church creative team. This team is tasked with producing innovative social media content for the church. Participants received training on creating engaging and meaningful videos, utilizing accessible and cost-effective tools such as standard smartphones.

Abstract

Messianism in the Judeo-Christian tradition is closely related to the collective experience of political subjugation and socio-economic marginalization, particularly under Roman rule after the Jewish–Roman War (66–70 CE). This study analyzes Matthew 25:31–46 within this context using a postcolonial hermeneutic approach, interpreting messianism as a form of religious nationalism. The study presents two main findings. First, the figure of the “Son of Man” represents a form of religious nationalism that functions as symbolic resistance to Roman imperial authority. Second, the identification of the Messiah with “the least of my brothers” reflects religious nationalism as a form of national solidarity rooted in the lived experience of the oppressed. This study contributes to postcolonial biblical interpretation by highlighting how the text constructs collective identity and resistance within a colonized community. It also offers implications for Matthean studies by reframing the passage beyond ethical and eschatological readings toward its ideological and socio-political dimensions.

Abstract

Formal or symbolic reconciliation does not necessarily ensure the continuity of repaired relationships. Existing scholarship addresses forgiveness, intergroup contact, structural constraints, social reintegration, and everyday peace, but the mechanisms through which relational order is maintained remain distributed across these bodies of literature. This article examines how documented Jingitiu communal practices in Sabu Raijua, Indonesia, can inform this problem and develops social stabilization as a provisional analytical category. The study combines qualitative document analysis with an integrative conceptual review. Its documentary corpus comprises scholarship on reconciliation and peacebuilding together with published ethnographic, historical, and community-based documentation concerning Jingitiu belief, ritual practice, customary authority, and communal life. The comparative analysis identifies four documented features potentially relevant to relational continuity: continuing customary authority, repeated communal participation, collective memory, and a shared moral framework. These features do not demonstrate a standardized Jingitiu reconciliation procedure or causal effects on long-term peace. Instead, they provide a context-bound basis for conceptualizing how repaired relationships may be maintained through recurring institutions, practices, and systems of meaning. Social stabilization is therefore proposed as a heuristic lens rather than a confirmed chronological stage or measured outcome of reconciliation. Direct observation of disputes, interviews with the parties involved and Mone Ama members, and longitudinal research are required to examine its empirical operation and its relationship to power, exclusion, and justice.

Abstract

Sacred places are often understood primarily through their institutional ownership and formal religious functions. Less attention has been paid to how a sacred place associated with one religious tradition may acquire wider communal meaning without losing its particular religious identity. This study examines how Protestant, Muslim, and Catholic residents of Negeri Waraka interpret the Negeri Church and how collective memory, the Nazar Negeri, customary authority, and religious boundaries shape its social meaning. The study used a qualitative, focused ethnographic approach. Fieldwork was conducted in Waraka, Central Maluku, from December 2025 to January 2026 and involved 16 purposively selected participants, including customary authorities, religious leaders, village representatives, and residents from the three religious communities. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, open observer-as-participant fieldwork, field notes, photographs, and relevant documents and were analyzed thematically. The findings show that the church remains a Protestant liturgical space while also functioning as a material reference point for Waraka’s collective history and communal identity. The annual Nazar Negeri connects the Raja’s house and the church through differentiated participation: Protestant residents retain liturgical authority, whereas Muslim and Catholic residents participate through customary and civic roles. The continuity of this arrangement depends on collective memory and the mediating authority of the Raja, Saniri Negeri, and religious leaders. The Waraka case demonstrates that the communal significance of a sacred place does not require the erasure of religious boundaries. Instead, shared meaning is produced through negotiated participation, customary belonging, and the continuing recognition of religious difference.

Abstract

Abstract The mobilization of information, technology, and social change marked by the presence of cyberspace not only affects the way people think in building relationships with others and themselves but also the process of developing faith and spirituality. Using the methods of qualitative research, literature study, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD), this research finds that in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, Christian religious patterns are changing drastically, driving all churches to move to virtual reality. The Christian notion of spirituality is also being transformed so that the experience with God is believed to occur not only in the physical space of the church but also in virtual reality. “Clickactivism” forms a new faith community determined by click and spiritual experiences which strength lies in the imagination of communities and individuals. This study concludes that cybertheology is an important contribution in helping Indonesian Christians to have a strong spiritualityabout God who cannot be confined within time and space. Abstrak Arus mobilisasi informasi, teknologi, dan perubahan sosial yang ditandai dengan adanya ruang cyber (cyberspace) ternyata tidak hanya mempengaruhi cara berpikir manusia dalam membangun relasi dengan sesama dan diri sendiri tetapi juga proses pengembangan iman dan spiritualitasnya. Metode yang digunakan ialah penelitian kualitatif, studi literatur, dan Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa dalam konteks pandemi COVID-19, pola beragama Kristen berubah secara drastis sehingga memaksa semua gereja untuk pindah ke realitas virtual. Pemahaman kekristenan tentang spiritualitas juga bertransformasi sehingga pengalaman dengan Tuhan diyakini tidak terbatas dalam ruang fisik gereja tetapi juga dalam realitas virtual. “Aktivitas klik” membentuk sebuah komunitas iman yang baru, yang ditentukan oleh klik dan pengalaman spiritual yang kekuatannya terletak pada imajinasi komunitas dan individu. Karena itu, studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa teologi cyber menjadi kontribusi penting untuk membantu kekristenan di Indonesia untuk berspiritualitas mengenai Tuhan yang tidak dapat dikurung dalam ruang dan waktu.
