Abstract

AbstractEcological destruction is a global phenomenon that demands a paradigm change and a new attitude towards the earth as the shared home of all creation. The increasingly of environmental damage is influenced by human paradigms and actions, resulting in exploitative and destructive actions against the earth. Historian Lynn White points out that Western Christian traditions contribute to today's ecological damage. White proposed Francis of Asisi as a "role model" of attitudes and behaviors towards the universe. The research method used in this research is the literature study. This study spread the discourse around White's thesis that produces 4 values of ecological spirituality as an effort to build ecotheological thought towards sustainable communities internalized in environmentally friendly attitudes and behaviors, namely: One, from anthroposentris to Human and non-Human Partnerships. Two, from instrumentalia to intrinsic. Three, from pantheism to panentheism, and the last from self centered to other directed.  Keywords: Ecotheologies, Tesis Lynn White, Sustainable community AbstrakKerusakan ekologis merupakan sebuah fenomena global yang menuntut perubahan paradigma dan sikap baru terhadap bumi sebagai rumah bersama seluruh ciptaan.

Abstract

Penetapan kawasan Danau Toba menjadi Kaldera Toba UNESCO Global Geopark (Kaldera Toba UGG), tidak hanya memberikan kebanggan tersendiri, tetapi juga harapan baru dalam mewujudkan kawasan Danau Toba menjadi destinasi wisata super prioritas. Ironisnya, kerusakan ekologis di kawasan Kaldera Toba masih terus berlangsung, seperti: perambahan hutan secara massif, pencemaran air Danau melalui keramba jaring apung. Kerusakan ekologis berhubungan dengan moralitas dan praktek ketidakadilan. Gereja dipanggil melakukan diakonia transformatif secara holistik untuk menyelamatkan kawasan Kaldera Toba UGG melalui gerakan eco-literacy atau melek ekologi. Rumusan masalah penelitian ini adalah bagaimana tanggungjawab gereja sebagai komunitas ekologis untuk mewujudkan gerakan eco-literacy yang berorientasi terhadap penyelamatan Kaldera Toba UGG sebagai warisan dunia? Gereja diharapkan melakuka upaya rancang bangun transformasi ekologis (eco-transformation design) menuju eco-literacy dan mempromosikannya kepada jemaat. Adapun thesis statement penelitian adalah gereja terpanggil untuk melakukan penyelamatan bumi di kawasan Danau Toba sebagai tanggungjawab iman di tengah realitas sosial. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif analitis. Upaya gereja dalam membangun gerakan eco-literacy yang dapat berkontribusi untuk menjaga komunitas berkelanjutan di kawasan Danau Toba.

Abstract

Abstract: Indonesian goverment established corruption as an extra ordinary crime. Government produced some policies as a manifestasion to prove that they are serious to overcome the practices of corruption and all of the impact in society. Not only government, church as an institution of religion which rich of moral and ethics views can play their role even to show their responsibilities  to construct some formulas to solve some problems related to corruption that occur in the life of nation, society and church. Actually, the synergy between all alements of nation is needed, including the church as an agent of change to raise awareness to understand about corruption and the latent danger of it’s impact. Corruption is the common enemy. It’s also a social concern in Indonesia. So, church as a symbol of a salt and light of the world, has a calling to play the role reconstructing anti-corruption spirituality based on theological dialog and tradition about distributing parjambaran in the context of Batak society.Abstrak: Pemerintah Indonesia menetapkan korupsi sebagai extra ordinary crime. Kebijakan ini sebagai salah satu wujud keseriusan pemerintah mengatasi praktek korupsi dan segala dampak yang ditimbulkannya di tengah masyarakat. Tidak hanya pemerintah, gereja sebagai lembaga agama yang kaya akan ajaran-ajaran moral juga bertanggungjawab untuk menemukan sebuah formula yang dapat mendorong percepatan penyelesaian persoalan-persoalan terkait korupsi yang terjadi di tengah kehidupan bangsa, masyarakat, dan gereja. Dibutuhkan sinergi antara seluruh elemen bangsa, termasuk gereja sebagai agen perubahan untuk menumbuhkan kesadaran di tengah masyarakat akan pentingnya memahami korupsi dan bahaya laten yang ditimbulkannya. Korupsi merupakan musuh bersama dan keprihatinan sosial di tengah Indonesia. Upaya merekonstruksi spiritualitas anti korupsi yang didasarkan pada penekanan integritas dengan mendialogkannya dengan kearifan lokal pembagian parjambaran pada masyarakat Batak merupakan sumbang pikir teologis terhadap perlawanan korupsi.

Abstract

Changes in social behavior and the increasing presence of church youth in the social media space are certainly a challenge for the church. The purpose of this study is to describe the construction of Christian ethical principles on social piety based on the reading of Matthew 23 as a concept of adaptive stewardship for Christian youth. The method used is descriptive qualitative with critical and constructive studies of Matthew 23 and Christian youth stewardship. The conclusion is social piety is a construction of Christian ethics from reading the interpretation of Matthew 23. The social piety in question includes four principles of Christian ethics for young Christians when they are present in the social media space, namely first, social media as a place to express Christian integrity and identity. (Vv. 1-4); second, social media as a place to sow and transmit the values ​​of honesty (Vv. 5-6); third, social media as a forum to build brotherly solidarity and equality (Vv. 7-12); four social media as a place to convey the prophetic voice (Vv. 13-36).

Abstract

Abstract. The purpose of this study is to conduct a theological study of the urgency of understanding human and non-human partnerships as an effort to restore the ecological damage that occurs today. Severe ecological damage is a logical consequence of exploitative attitudes and human greed. That reality drives the need for efforts to reformulate the model of relations between creations. This theological study used a descriptive qualitative method by exploring a model of human and non-human partnership that can be used as a reference. This partnership places an emphasis on responsibility and respect for the intrinsic values of each creation. Intrinsic value emphasizes that all creation comes from and is in God. Therefore, one must have a firm belief in God's presence in the midst of His creation and the intrinsic value embodied in it.Abstrak. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah melakukan kajian teologis akan urgensi pemahaman kemitraan human dan non-human sebagai upaya pemulihan kerusakan ekologis yang terjadi dewasa ini. Kerusakan ekologis yang parah merupakan konsekuensi logis dari sikap eksploitatif dan keserakahan manusia. Realitas itu mendorong perlunya upaya merumuskan ulang model relasi antar-ciptaan. Kajian teologis ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan mengeksplorasi model kemitraan human dan non-human yang dapat dijadikan sebagai acuan. Kemitraan ini memberikan penekanan pada tanggung jawab dan penghormatan terhadap nilai-nilai intrinsik setiap ciptaan. Nilai intrinsik menekankan bahwa segala ciptaan berasal dan berada di dalam Allah. Untuk itu, seseorang harus memiliki keyakinan yang kuat akan kehadiran Allah di tengah ciptaan-Nya dan nilai intrinsik yang terkandung di dalamnya.

ABSTRACTThe health education and creative economy activities for Christian youth were carried out in Horison Ranggitgit Village, Parmonangan Subdistrict, North Tapanuli Regency. The village has a majority Christian population with a relatively high proportion of people in the productive age group. This condition presents a significant potential for village development, yet it is challenged by issues such as low understanding of reproductive health, limited nutritional knowledge, risks of stunting, and constraints in facing increasingly competitive economic challenges. This program aims to provide education on reproductive health and adolescent nutrition while also training creative economic skills to help shape a resilient generation toward Indonesia Emas 2045. The methods used include interactive lectures, practice-based training, and simple marketing strategies. The results of the community service program showed an increase in adolescents’ knowledge of reproductive health, a better understanding of nutrition as preparation for a healthy generation, and improved skills in developing creative business ideas based on local potential. This program is expected to become the foundation for the emergence of a healthy, productive, and independent village generation capable of contributing to sustainable of development.
