Abstract

This paper is going to narrate, describe and analyzes the occurrence of several suicides that happened in Toraja (South Sulawesi, Indonesia) these days. Based on several cases, it can be observed that a person tends to kill her or himself after having personal or family problems, economy, bullying (been slighted or offended). The inclination along this pandemic should be previewed and compared according to the cause of each suicide. There were several cases found, but this paper builds only the description by focusing on two cases as shown in the resulting exposure. The paper concludes that there is the four-psychological reason that caused a youth to kill her or himself, and by this analysis, all internal and external stakeholders may emerge the spirituality of frugality, and psychologically to push every educational institution and society for the campaign to stop bullying in all aspect. Hasil penelitian ini hendak menyajikan, memaparkan dan menganalisis realitas meningkatnya kecenderungan bunuh diri yang terjadi di Toraja beberapa waktu terakhir. Pengamatan didasarkan pada beberapa kasus bunuh diri dan/atau upaya bunuh diri karena berbagai persoalan pribadi atau masalah keluarga, kesulitan ekonomi, serta akibat perundungan. Pendekatan metodik yang digunakan meletakkan kecenderungan yang tampak sepanjang masa pandemi dilihat ulang, serta disalingbandingkan sesuai kondisi kasus masing-masing. Ada beberapa kasus yang ditemukan, namun tulisan yang disajikan dalam penelitian ini lebih berfokus pada dua kasus sebagaimana tersaji dalam hasil penelitian. Makalah ini menyimpulkan bahwa setidaknya ada empat alasan psikologis yang menyebabkan generasi muda memutuskan bunuh diri, dan melalui analisis yang dibangun diharapkan seluruh pemangku kepentingan (tanpa kecual) berupaya kembali menonjolkan spiritualitas keugaharian, dan secara psikologis berupaya mendorong setiap institusi pendidikan dan lembaga kemasyarakatan untuk mengampanyekan penghapusan perundungan dalam berbagai bentuknya.

Abstract

The Holy Communion is one of the sacraments performed in the Toraja Church as a direct command from God for all who believe in Jesus Christ. Therefore, everyone, both adults and children, is required to participate as part of the Kingdom of God's family. This study aims to analyze parents' understanding of the practice of Holy Communion involving children in the Gasing Congregation of the Toraja Church. The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method to explain parents' understanding of the meaning and practice of Holy Communion involving children. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, field observation, and relevant literature review related to the research topic. The findings indicate that many parents still lack a proper understanding of the theological significance of Holy Communion, particularly when it involves children. Most parents simply follow the synod's decision without deeply understanding its theological foundation. Moreover, the church does not provide direct pastoral guidance to parents but merely reads out the meaning of Holy Communion during Sunday worship services, resulting in very limited comprehension among the congregation. Therefore, more intensive socialization and guidance from the church council to all congregation members, especially parents, is highly needed. This research is expected to contribute to the development of knowledge at IAKN Toraja and provide insights for readers, particularly congregants of the Toraja Church in general.
