Abstract

This research aims to seek inspiration and relevance of the thought of the Fathers of the Church to answer our current ecological problems. The method used is to focus on discovering the writings of Church Fathers that convey the universe in relation to God and human being. Then, some key ideas on ecology will be drawn. In conclusion, based on this research, the Fathers of the Church have a highly positive and appreciative point of view of the universe: all are well-created by God, and they are beautiful, harmonious, having intrinsic value and being a sign of Gods presence. The world is indeed a home for all creation, both human and non-human. Human beings have obligation to the universe that is to appreciate and maintain its beauty, goodness, and harmony, as well as to manage and cultivate the earth, to offer and sanctify its fruit to the Lord, and therefore to live in brotherhood with the whole creation. Humans are allowed to make use of non-human creations yet wisely: not only to satisfy worldly needs (uti), but also to achieve eternal happiness (frui). Consequently, human beings must live an ecological asceticism, by limiting the use of natural resources and aiming at improvement of the quality of life instead of on the standard of living.

Abstract

Radicalism and fundamentalism, commonly characterized by acts of terror and violence, are considered as serious threats to Indonesia as a nation. One of the triggers of radical and fundamentalist movements is the misunderstanding on some verses about violence, war, and murder in the Scriptures. The radicals and the fundamentalists tend to interpret literally and use those verses to legitimate their actions. This paper has no intention to blame and to correct verses of the Scriptures that are literally provocative for violence, but to offer some inspiration from patristic tradition about how to interpret the Bible verses on violence. There are three methods and one criterion, that is, method of esegesi orante, method of allegorical-spiritual, method of the Scripture interprets Scripture, and the criteria of ??????? (?phleia: benefit). These methods and criterion may also be applied to interpret and to understand Koran verses on violence, as there are some provocative verses in regard to violence in both Scriptures. Moreover, Muslims also have the Tafsir (exegesis, commentary) as a methodology for reading and explaining the Koran, even accepting hermeneutics as a method of interpretation that is very relevant to understand the message of the Koran.DOI:doi.org/10.24071/jaot.2020.020101

Abstract

Mary is a central figure in the Catholic Church. In fact, among the Christians, Mary who is a mere woman is more “popular” than Jesus who is God and savior. This can be seen in the Marian devotions and shrines which are far outnumber than the devotions and places of pilgrimage to Jesus. Mary is mother, not only for Jesus but also for the Church, that is, for all the faithful. This article will specifically discuss the life and role of Mary in the life of Jesus and the Church. Using the library research, this paper scrutinizes the Scriptures, the documents of the Church teachings, and some of liturgical texts which reveal the presence and the role of Mary in the life of Jesus and the Church. This article helps Christians to deep their knowledge and familiarity to Mary, and then to love her more and to emulate Her virtues in everyday life as believers.

Abstract

Untuk melestarikan kesatuan dalam hidup berbangsa dalam kebinekaan Indonesia, peran pendidikan agama amatlah penting. Mengingat pendidikan agama merupakan pelajaran wajib di semua jenjang sekolah formal, ada kebutuhan mendesak untuk merancang sebuah model pendidikan agama yang mempunyai kontribusi secara optimal bagi pelestarian kebinekatunggalikaan Indonesia. Penelitian kualitatif dengan metode kajian pustaka ini berfokus pada upaya mengekslorasi gagasan Y. B. Mangunwijaya tentang pendidikan agama sebagai proses dialog kehidupan. Dalam pandangan Y. B. Mangunwijaya, model pendidikan agama sebagai proses komunikasi iman perlu dikembangkan dan dipraktikkan agar anak-anak bangsa bertumbuh dalam kesetiakawanan, menghargai perbedaan, dan memiliki ketrampilan hidup bersama dalam kebinekaan. Komunikasi iman merupakan model pendidikan agama yang menghargai setiap pribadi dengan segala keunikannya. Proses pembelajaran agama dengan model komunikasi iman memberi ruang bagi setiap pribadi untuk berdialog secara egaliter, saling menumbuhkan kepekaan sosial dan terbuka untuk bekerjasama dalam mewujudkan perkembangan hidup bersama. Isi pokok pembelajaran komunikasi lintas iman adalah pengalaman setiap pribadi dalam relasi dengan Tuhan, sesama dan lingkungan sekitar. Komunikasi pengalaman iman yang dikembangkan di sekolah perlu dilengkapi dengan pelaksanaan tanggungjawab orang tua dan institusi agama untuk menumbuhkan pemahaman, kesadaran, sikap dan perilaku hidup beragama setiap pribadi sesuai dengan agama yang dianut.

Abstract

The Catholic Church is committed to caring for the poor in its efforts to be present in society. In parish life, this is done by managing social funds, including the Dana Papa Miskin (Danpamis). In the Archdiocese of Semarang context, Danpamis is an opportunity to support the poor, the excluded, and those whose dignity is stolen. Even when started with good intentions, carrying out this mission is often ineffective. This study, conducted using quantitative and qualitative methods through questionnaires and in-depth interviews, examines the process of managing Danpamis as an effort by the Church to be more present with the poor. This study focuses on the role of the parish priest as a starting point for understanding the meaning of the Church's presence as a sign of the presence of God, the Savior of the poor. From this study, it becomes clear that the priest's representative role is determined by his personal and spiritual experience in the face of poverty and his awareness of his vocation and mission in the middle of the poor.

Abstract

In 2025, the Church commemorates the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, convened in 325. While the council is best known for formulating the Nicene Creed, the version commonly recited today was later refined at the Council of Constantinople and adapted for liturgical use. Beyond the Creed, the council also issued 20 canons addressing various aspects of ecclesiastical discipline. The Fathers of Nicaea did not create the Creed from scratch; rather, they articulated it based on the faith they had received, understood, and handed down to future generations. The same principle applied to the canons, which were rooted in inherited traditions rather than entirely new prescriptions. Thus, the Council of Nicaea should be seen as a crucial moment in shaping Christian doctrine – particularly concerning Christology and the Trinity – while also laying the foundation for ecclesiastical discipline. As an ongoing process, neither its doctrinal nor disciplinary outcomes were static or final; instead, they remained part of the Church’s living tradition, requiring continuous reception, interpretation, and adaptation over time. However, to ensure focus and depth, this discussion will specifically examine the Nicene Creed, exploring its biblical foundations, its early development in the teachings of the Church Fathers, and its enduring authority and reception in later periods.

Abstract

Torok Wuat Wa'i is a traditional ritual of the Manggarai community conducted when someone is about to migrate. Using qualitative methods through literature studies and interviews, this research aims to delve into the understanding of divinity in the Torok Wuat Wa’i ceremony, particularly for those who are going to study. The results show that the Manggarai people have a belief in a God who governs the universe and human life, whom they refer to as Mori Kraeng. Through the Torok Wuat Wa’i ritual, they pray for a good life and protection from Mori Kraeng, from the moment a person departs from their hometown, during the journey, throughout their studies in the migration area, and until their return to their hometown. Additionally, in the Torok Wuat Wa’i ceremony, they also pay homage to their ancestors, who are believed to play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature and human life. Therefore, the Torok Wuat Wa’i ceremony serves not only as a means to establish relationships and seek blessings from God but also as a manifestation of togetherness and unity among humans, the universe, and the spiritual world.AbstrakTorok Wuat Wa'i merupakan ritual adat masyarakat Manggarai yang dilakukan ketika seorang hendak merantau. Dengan metode kualitatif melalui studi pustaka dan wawancara, penelitian ini bermaksud untuk mendalami paham ketuhanan dalam upacara Torok Wuat Wa’i, khususnya bagi mereka yang hendak studi. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat Manggarai mempunyai keyakinan akan Tuhan yang menguasai alam semesta dan kehidupan manusia, yang mereka sebut Mori Kraeng. Melalui ritual Torok Wuat Wa’i, mereka memohon kehidupan yang baik dan perlindungan dari Mori Kraeng, sejak seseorang berangkat dari kampung halaman, selama dalam perjalanan, selama studi di perantauan, hingga kepulangannya kembali ke kampung halaman. Selain itu, dalam upacara Torok Wuat Wa’i, mereka juga memberi penghormatan terhadap leluhur, yang diyakini berperan penting dalam menjaga keseimbangan alam dan kehidupan manusia. Oleh karena itu, upacara Torok Wuat Wa’i tidak hanya menjadi sarana menjalin relasi dan memohon berkat Tuhan, tetapi juga merupakan wujud kebersamaan dan kesatuan antara manusia, alam semesta, dan dunia spiritual.
