Abstract

This study examines the lived faith of Catholic migrants from East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) who have migrated to the Muslim-majority landscape of South Kalimantan, Indonesia. These migrants face a profound crisis of identity as they transition from a dominant religious environment to a marginalized minority status, necessitating a research objective that explores how their faith is reinterpreted amidst such socio-religious pressures. Employing a qualitative phenomenological-hermeneutical method, the research utilizes Paul Ricoeur’s threefold mimesis - prefiguration, configuration, and refiguration - as its primary interpretive framework. The findings reveal a significant narrative shift from an inherited “communal Catholic habitus” to a “refigured faith” characterized by personal agency and reflective commitment. This transformation is sustained through adaptive relational ethics, such as the sanctification of work and collaborative hospitality, which allow migrants to navigate their vulnerability. The study synthesizes these experiences to conclude that internal migration constitutes a vital locus theologicus, wherein the rupture of traditional religious structures does not erode faith but rather matures it into a more resilient, intentional, and relational existential orientation. Consequently, migration emerges as a transformative theological process that redefines the intersection of faith, culture, and minority existence in pluralistic societies.

Abstract

The focus of this paper is to understand the function of each element in the customary boxing culture (Sudu) of the Zepe community, Ngada, from the perspective of Ralph Linton's cultural anthropology. Sudu (customary boxing) in Ngada society is a tradition of boxing matches that has a function as a relationship in strengthening social ties between individuals. The purpose of this paper is to understand the function of each element in Ngada people's sudu culture that has social meaning and value. The findings are that sudu is a culture that has been passed down from generation to generation and has the function of mutual respect and brotherhood. In addition to these functions, sudu also has a deep meaning for survival and social relations. The sudu ceremony reflects harmonious relations and friendship through sportsmanship between boxers, as well as solidarity between lives in the Ngada community. Sudu is not only a physical fight, but also a medium to express courage, honor and traditional values. Furthermore, the nelo (dance) that accompanies sudu serves as a cultural expression that strengthens identity and social bonds. The methods used in writing this paper are literature studies and interviews with a descriptive-analytical approach.

Abstract

Adat Jalatn Lome Jaih merupakan warisan budaya masyarakat Dayak Krio di Kalimantan Barat yang berfungsi sebagai pedoman dalam mengatur hubungan manusia dengan sesama, alam, dan Tuhan. Tradisi ini tidak hanya mencerminkan identitas budaya lokal tetapi juga memiliki potensi untuk diintegrasikan ke dalam misi Gereja Katolik. Perspektif Ernst Cassirer tentang manusia sebagai Animal Symbolicum memberikan kerangka filosofis untuk memahami peran simbol dalam membangun hubungan antara adat, budaya, dan agama. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji implementasi adat Jalatn Lome Jaih dalam misi Gereja Katolik serta mengungkap kontribusinya terhadap harmoni antara nilai-nilai lokal dan ajaran Gereja. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kepustakaan dengan menganalisis data dari literatur terkait adat Jalatn Lome Jaih, teori simbolisme Cassirer, dan inkulturasi dalam Gereja Katolik. Lokasi kajian ini adalah wilayah suku Dayak Krio di Kabupaten Ketapang, Kalimantan Barat. Subyek penelitian mencakup masyarakat adat Dayak Krio yang masih mempraktikkan tradisi Jalatn Lome Jaih dan umat Katolik di wilayah tersebut. Teknik pengumpulan data melibatkan studi literatur, analisis teks, dan interpretasi simbol-simbol budaya serta religius. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa adat Jalatn Lome Jaih memiliki simbolisme yang kaya dan relevan dengan ajaran Gereja Katolik, terutama dalam menciptakan ruang dialog budaya dan spiritualitas. Simbol-simbol adat seperti ritual agraris dan kepercayaan terhadap Dowata dapat diadaptasi ke dalam liturgi dan pastoral Gereja, memberikan makna baru bagi umat Katolik tanpa menghilangkan nilai-nilai budaya lokal. Dengan demikian, integrasi adat Jalatn Lome Jaih ke dalam misi Gereja tidak hanya memperkuat identitas budaya masyarakat Dayak Krio tetapi juga memperkaya spiritualitas umat dalam konteks yang inklusif dan universal.

Abstract

This research examines the conceptual transformation from ecotheology to ecospirituality in reconstructing the ecological consciousness of the Benawas Indigenous community in Rimba Kobar. The study aims to identify how theological values rooted in human–nature relations evolve into more holistic, contextual, and experientially grounded spiritual practices. Employing a qualitative approach with an ethnographic method, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and narrative analysis of cultural practices and indigenous rituals. The findings reveal that the Benawas community perceives nature not merely as a creation to be theologically preserved, but as a sacred entity intrinsically embedded in their spiritual lifeworld. This transformation is marked by a shift from a normative-doctrinal framework toward an immanent, relational, and sustainability-oriented spiritual experience. The emerging ecospirituality reinforces an ecological ethic grounded in local wisdom, contributing to environmental preservation and resilience. This study underscores the importance of integrating theological and spiritual dimensions in addressing contemporary ecological crises, while offering an alternative perspective rooted in indigenous knowledge systems for advancing the discourse on religious ecology.

Abstract

The article describes that Basic Christian Community is primarily the real way of being Church. It is the actual community of Christ that inspired and oriented by the teaching and life example of Jesus Christ (e.g. Matt 5-7; Lc 6:20-21.24-25). In this sense, it is an alternative and prophetic community, a kind of 'counter culture' that lives out radical values which are contrary to most values of other human communities. Exactly in this way that Christian community will be able to realize its mission to be a lumen gentium and gaudium et spes for the world. In so doing Christian communities are expected to initiate and promote transformation of the local society and the world in general. The writer also highlights the need to consider Basic Christian Community as a 'school of dialogue' for the Christians. Exactly in this very place they are called to learn from one another the way to internalize Christian values, a 'new' way of living and believing in a humane community. He believes that everybody who is serious about his/her Christian faith will be committed in the twofold calling, namely communio et missio. Meaning, being Church is being for others, for the Church exists is not only for herself (communio), but primarily for the salvation of the world (missio). Therefore, the writer tries to propose the so-called mission spirituality for the life of Basic Christian Community, which is the spirituality of discipleship.
