Abstract

Spiritual leadership has experienced a significant correction of service responsibilities for God's church. Several reasons are advances in information technology, social media, and financial problems. On the other hand, the digital generation is the majority of the congregation. The facts show that 6 out of 10 people (59%) leave the Christian faith in the first decade of adulthood, and the number 44% - 52% do not go to church. The personality of the digital generation tends to be eroded, while the church leadership seems to have lost the enthusiasm to reach them. The question is how to build the resilience of spiritual leaders in the digital age? What kind of implications and approaches in developing the personality of the Digital Generation can take? The purpose is to describe the steps to build spiritual leadership resilience and explain the implications and mission approaches of digital generation personality development. Research is a qualitative descriptive method. The results are building Spiritual Leadership Resilience by upgrading oneself in contemporary leadership, building friendships, synergizing with other spiritual practitioners, and building worship praise as a medium for spiritual experience. The implications for the digital generation are: Developing the three vocations of the church, building intergenerational relationships and leadership spirit, generating gifts and role effectiveness, and emphasizing the meaning and fulfillment of future leadership functions.

Abstract

The task of shepherding has always faced growth challenges and obstacles to this day. The level of spiritual community and the arrival of souls is decreasing among the younger generation, and the emergence of the hybrid medium as a system born in the digital era is another challenge. Pastoral relationships and stewardship particularly with this digital native tend to widen and lose their essential value. How can shepherding be consistent and sustainable in this digital age? Such a strategy is the solution? The purposes of this study are to describe the steps of grazing consistency and resilience; redefine the duties and responsibilities of a shepherd according to biblical standards; provide practical steps in pastoral care in the digital age. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The result is a contribution to church pastors to continue to be motivated and persist in their calling for service; to spiritual practitioners to be able to work together with pastoral teams to serve souls, and to be a source of reference for pioneering pastoralists and prospective pastors in later. AbstrakTugas penggembalaan selalu mengalami tantangan dan hambatan yang besar sampai hari ini.

Abstract

The advancement of the virtual world has shaped the millennial generation and beyond to become digital natives who are out of control, without obstacles, and connected. The global world is presented freely with negative values of life, absurd, meaningless, and seemingly without God. The emphasis is on how to rebuild this fallen, weak, and chaotic native digital self-image. The goal is that through music and kerygma strategies, these Christian influencers can become a catalyst for the digital generation to return to God with the proper self-image. So it is an essential solution because the virtual space has a vast scope, without limits and high flexibility after church services have begun to be abandoned. A research method is a qualitative approach with data collection through literature study and observation. It is hoped that through this research: (1)New Christian influencers will emerge with spiritual content, (2)The millennial generation will repent and recover, (3)So that they will return and be integrated with the church. Future research is expected to be quantitative to see how strong the influence of changes and new strategies can be as alternative solutions.

Abstract

The phenomenon of religious exclusivity does not only occur with other religions but in one religion. The phenomenon of religious exclusivity does not only occur between religious adherents but also between groups of people within the same religion. This phenomenon can be seen in the district of East Sumba, where there is still persecution of priests of different denominations, bullying related to the caste of the congregation, and pastors are higher than others, in local culture. This article provides an understanding of the spirituality of the church's egalitarianism in anticipating Sumba's socio-cultural institutions in placing equal values and rights of everyone in the eyes of God and others, according to Philippians 2:1-8. Research with a qualitative descriptive approach through a literature review found that churches in East Sumba Regency must be inclusive by opening themselves up to existing differences, not just doctrinal differences, but also ethnicity and caste egocentricity which must be minimized. The spirituality of the egalitarianism of the church is a divine value to continue to work on, through the existing local culture with the leaders of the people and the nobles (maramba), who sit together in divine leadership. Whole human development in the work of Christ's salvation is the focus of the church, with equal actions by leaders from any caste, open and providing equal opportunities for every believer in the local culture.  AbstrakFenomena eksklusivitas beragama bukan saja terjadi dengan agama lainnya tetapi dalam satu Fenomena eksklusivitas beragama bukan saja terjadi antarpemeluk agama, namun juga antarkelompok umat dalam satu agama. Fenomena ini dapat dilihat di daerah Kabupaten Sumba Timur, di mana masih terjadi persekusi terhadap pendeta yang berbeda denominasi, perundungan terkait kasta jemaat, bahwa pendeta lebih tinggi dari yang lain, dalam budaya lokal. Artikel ini memberikan pemahaman spiritualitas egalitarianisme gereja dalam mengantisipasi pranata sosial budaya Sumba dalam mendudukakn kesejajaran nilai dan hak setiap orang yang sama di mata Tuhan dan sesama, menurut Filipi 2:1-8. Penelitian dengan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif melalui kajian literatur menemukan bahwa gereja di Kabupaten Sumba Timur harus bersikap inklusif dengan membuka diri terhadap perbedaan yang ada, bukan sekadar perbedaan doktrin, tetapi juga egosentris sukuisme dan kasta yang harus diminimalisir. Spiritualitas egalitarianisme gereja menjadi nilai ilahi untuk terus dikerjakan, melalui budaya lokal yang ada dengan para pemimpin umat dan para bangsawan (maramba), yang duduk bersama dalam kepemimpinan Ilahi. Pembangunan manusia seutuhnya di dalam karya keselamatan Kristus menjadi fokus utama gereja, dengan tindakan kesetaraan para pemimpin dari kalangan kasta apa pun, terbuka dan memberi kesempatan yang sama untuk setiap orang percaya dalam lingkup budaya lokal.
