Abstract

The article discusses the identity of Christianity in Indonesia. The discrepancy between tradition and relevancy occurs when 'identity' is understood as static.Onthe contrary, when identity is viewed as dynamic, a dialectical balance between tradition and relevancy is required. Identity does not necessarily mean uniformity. It may instead mean 'united diversity'. The Church in Indonesia becomes 'Indonesian Church' only if she is capable of making significant interaction between the universal Church (tradition) and Indonesian peculiar situation (relevancy).

Abstract

Religions are always in tension between their claims of universality and the fact of  their particularity.  The potential of conflict arises precisely when the particular religion claims  a universal truth.  Christian theology of  religious pluralism has managed to neutralize the tension by emphasizing the commitment to particular religion and at the  same time  the commitment to universal world problems. Such theological vision is supported  by a philosophical reflection that sees truth as  “revealed in“ but not  “exclusively possessed“ by the particularity. In itself  the truth remains transcendental, yet it shows its “traces“ in the positive outcomes of the particular.

Abstract

The message about Jesus the Christ is always contextual in nature. The message serves as the answer to particular quest, including the quest for basic orientation of life. It should be noted, however, that contextualization is also fragmentation which presupposes certain kind of functionalism.

Abstract

This article aims to illustrate the contributions of homiletics, including the guidance found in Evangelii Gaudium, for the formulation of a homily. Research conducted in two parishes within the Bogor Diocese reveals the dynamics observed in the field regarding the expectations of a homily and the preparation undertaken by the homilist. The findings indicate that a homily transcends mere rhetoric within the liturgy; it represents an encounter of faith between the Word of God and the congregation, mediated by the homilist. This underscores the significance of the homilist's testimony of faith; a testimony that is cultivated in a prayerful atmospher, articulated in the language of the audience, and inspires the congregation towards transformation.
