Abstract

This paper seeks to interpret that which is blue of Indonesia—the largest archipelagic nation in the world—by way of proffering for Indonesian Christianity a range of blue hues (corak biru) following an ecotheological perspective. I start by discussing ecotheology and its contribution within Christianity to illustrate how this sub-discipline becomes a “brush” that for Christianity can render such blue hues. This is followed by a discussion on why and how a responsive ecotheology to the environmental/marine ecosystem crisis could render as “blue paint” for that subdisciplinary brush—a blue ecotheology (ekoteologi biru). To accomplish this, both Christianity’s abject appraisal of the sea, as well as Christianity’s own blue-hued anthropocentrism (corak biru antroposentrisme), are parsed and addressed in turn by the paradigm of a community of creation as “sketch.” These discussions summarily affirm the conviction that the sea must be considered and treated not as an object of human exploitation but as a proper subject working to support the life that is common among all of God’s animate creation. Humankind and the sea itself, alike, participate in that life. The spectrum of blueness I propose to be displayed across the “canvas” of Indonesian Christianity is this: to be sea-friendly in both outlook and attitude, in ways that safeguard the sea’s ongoing involvement in life. To conclude, this paper invites Indonesian Christianity to put the full array of its blue hues on display within both theological discourse and its activities as the church.

Abstract

In the maritime country of Indonesia, fishers have significant roles, including actualising God’s providence for the Indonesian people and nature. However, in its political crisis, the fisher’s world seems ignored in theological discourse. Therefore, this article seeks to delve theologically into the meaning of the Christian Gospel (euanggelion) and its implications on the fisher’s life. In anchorage with the new meaning of the Gospel drawing from a discussion on Jesus’ calling of the four Galilean fishers to be his disciples in Mark 1:16-20, this article affirms that fishers have a place in the Gospel’s message and actualisation. Thus, the proclamation and actualisation of the Gospel must include active involvement in overcoming the crisis in the fisher’s world.
