Abstract

This article examines the relationship between Pentecostal theology and local culture in the context of faith inculturation, with the aim of understanding the challenges faced by Pentecostal churches in reaching culturally diverse communities. The research employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach, analyzing theological literature, the Bible, academic journals, and relevant articles. The discussion focuses on how Pentecostal churches can integrate the teachings of the Gospel with local culture without compromising theological essence, considering obstacles such as cultural dualism, fear of syncretism, and the lack of cultural understanding among church leaders. The author also explores the example of Jesus in interacting with culture, emphasizing that culture can be used to convey the divine message without undermining the essence of God's word. In conclusion, faith inculturation in Pentecostal theology allows the church to remain relevant to the local cultural context through appreciation of local traditions that do not contradict Christian teachings, while maintaining fidelity to the Bible and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Abstract

This study explores the role of spiritual eco-leadership within religious communities and its potential for fostering climate resilience and sustainability. Religious communities, guided by spiritual values such as stewardship, social justice, and care for creation, have a unique position to contribute significantly to addressing climate change. Through qualitative case studies of religious communities engaged in climate-resilient practices, this research identifies key personal qualities of effective eco-leaders, examines the theological foundations driving eco-leadership, and investigates how community structures can support sustainable practices. The findings highlight the importance of qualities such as compassion, integrity, and vision in eco-leaders, which enable them to inspire collective action towards environmental sustainability. Additionally, the study uncovers the centrality of theological principles, particularly those rooted in stewardship and social justice, in guiding eco-leadership within faith-based contexts. The research also discusses the challenges these communities face, including institutional conservatism, resource constraints, and the marginalization of eco-leaders. Strategies for overcoming these barriers are proposed, emphasizing the need for education, advocacy, and interfaith collaboration. The study concludes that spiritual eco-leadership, when supported by strong theological foundations and community structures, can serve as a powerful force in driving climate resilience and promoting sustainability, both locally and globally. By fostering eco-leadership, religious communities can play a transformative role in addressing climate change and enhancing community adaptation to environmental challenges.
