Abstract

This research aims to study from the perspective of Christian theology the concept of Batak culture regarding the authority of women as mothers in forming excellent characters in Batak families. The method used is qualitative. The research was conducted in Pematangsiantar in November-December 2022 with four informants. Two of them are female Batak leaders in the church and theological schools; the other two are youths from Batak families. This study found three roles of mothers who have authority in forming excellent characters in children. The three roles are sipartangiang (prayer), educating children to pray diligently, parsonduk bolon (preparing food needs), educating children to assume responsibility for life together, Ina Soripada (respectable mother), educating children to be polite, honest, and with integrity. Through these three roles, it appears that Batak mothers have the authority to carry out excellent character education for children. It is proven that children from families with such mothers have excellent characters that differ from their peers.

Abstract

This study examines the concept of Ina na Marsahala as a cultural-theological representation of Batak women’s spirituality and character within the framework of contextual theology. The central research question explores how the values of sahala—understood as the integration of spiritual depth, moral excellence, and personal integrity—are embodied in the lived experiences of Batak women in their families, communities, and church life. The study was conducted in a Batak community in Pematangsiantar and involved nine participants, including two key informants who have long-standing roles in Batak religious and cultural life. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews, then analyzed thematically and validated through triangulation. The research identified six core values that define the Ina na Marsahala identity: Sitiop Puro, Soripada, Parsonduk Bolon, Parsangkalan na so ra mahiang, Partataring na so ra mintop, and Parbahulbahul na Bolon. These values reflect a form of incarnational spirituality and ethical leadership that is deeply rooted in everyday practices. Ultimately, the study concludes that Ina na Marsahala provides a strong theological foundation for contextual feminist theology—one that is both rooted in indigenous wisdom and aligned with the vision of transformative Christian ministry among Batak communities.
