Abstract

Conditions of religious pluralism are on the increase everywhere. Everybody is coming face to face with believers of other faiths. Those who are not sufficiently equipped with regard to the history and nature of other religions or religious traditions will find themselves in difficulty to interact with ‘the others’. Intolerances, conflicts, and violences of all kinds, which are fundamentaly evil, are just ‘understandable consequences’ that occur throughout our human history. This article tries to offer some insights regarding the struggles of the Christians to comprehend their own position among believers of other faiths and to accept others as partners of dialogue on their way to live out their inner being as Imago Dei and to build up a more humane society, namely a world of friendship and love. Today’s era of dialogue of civilization is actually a great challenge and fertile times for Christians as the pilgrim Church to intensifly develop their spirituality which is intercultural by nature

Abstract

The article tries to describe the world the Balinese live, particularly the two opposing powers, namely the negative and the positive forces which influence deeply the way the Balinese lead their lives. Since these forces cannot be easily understood by ordinary people, and so they cannot properly live their religious lives, the role of the priests (Pedanda, Pamangku, etc.), medicine men and women (all kinds of Balian) and other mediums are of great importance. In time of troubles the people can always consult their problems to these elected ones who then recommed the best solutions the people need. The solutions would be any kind of rituals (offerings and sacrifices for the Dewas, propitiations for the Bhutas, cleansing rites, etc) which could maintain the balance between those two opposing powers. How does one call this complex way of life? One may proposes mythology and the other may prefers theology

Abstract

Artikel ini mengajak mencermati kedudukan orang-orang Kristen dalam Negara multikultural seperti Indonesia sebagai kelompok yang bukan hanya marginal secara geografis tetapi juga secara sosial politis. Bagaimana posisi ini dilihat dari perspektif teologis? Umumnya kelompok-kelompok marginal memiliki keutamaan-keutamaan lebih yang dapat membantu meningkatkan kualitas hidup mereka, seperti kerendahan hati, kesabaran, kesederhanaan, kasih, pengampunan, pelayanan, pengertian, dll. Itulah siasat hidup kaum marginal, yang berguna bukan hanya untuk memperjuangkan eksistensi kelompoknya tetapi lebih-lebih untuk meningkatkan kualitas kehidupan itu sendiri. Selanjutnya artikel merujuk kepada sejumlah referensi biblis dan teologis yang mendukung nilai-nilai ini. Yang menjadi persoalan sekarang, apakah orangorang Kristen marginal ini sungguh-sungguh mampu memberikan bumbu penyedap bagi bangunan suatu ‘kebudayaan kehidupan’? Yang jelas, tantangan teologis ini merupakan pergulatan yang tidak kunjung selesai.
