Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore and understand pastoral care can be more effective in helping the elderly in orphanages by implementing a holistic approach in accordance with the development of the times, as well as providing an understanding of how to overcome the limitations of traditional methods in pastoral care for the elderly in the modern era. The research method used is a qualitative approach, namely a literature study of e-books, journals, and books, related to the topic of discussion, and using an interview method involving the elderly, administrators, to gain deeper insight into the spiritual needs of the elderly. The results of the study indicate that pastoral care contributes positively to the spirituality of the elderly, increasing a sense of connectedness to the community and improving mental health, while the use of technology such as social media has proven effective in expanding the reach of services. The conclusion of this study is that pastoral care for the elderly in orphanages in the modern era is faced with significant challenges that require a more holistic and innovative approach. Traditional methods are considered inadequate to meet the complex emotional, social, and spiritual needs of the elderly, such as feelings of loneliness, isolation, and physical limitations. Therefore, this study emphasizes the importance of utilizing technology, such as video calls and digital platforms, to create deeper and more personal interactions.

Abstract

The fragmentation of the Corinthian congregation recorded in 1 Corinthians 1:10-17 presents a classic leadership challenge that persists in various forms within contemporary churches. While previous studies have examined this text through rhetorical, literary, and biblical-exegetical lenses, the integration of modern theological frameworks remains underexplored. This study aims to integrate a biblical exegesis of 1 Corinthians 1:10-17 with Miroslav Volf‘s theology of forgiveness (Exclusion and Embrace) to reinterpret Paul’s leadership principles. Employing a qualitative library research method, the study proceeds in three stages: syntactical-semantic exegesis of the Greek text, systematic description of Volf‘s concepts of exclusion, embrace, and healing of memory, and an integrative interpretation. The results identify three leadership principles in Paul’s response: christocentricity, relationality, and anti-celebrity cultism. These principles are mapped onto Volf‘s framework, revealing that Paul’s rejection of factionalism functions as an early praxis of “embrace“ that refuses exclusion of the other. The discussion highlights that Volf’s trinitarian model of perichoresis provides a theological grounding for Paul‘s call for unity, while Paul’s concrete leadership strategies offer a biblical foundation for Volf‘s abstract phenomenology. The implications for contemporary church leadership include a three‑dimensional model: theocentric focus, relational‑trinitarian unity, and forgiveness‑based conflict resolution.

Abstract

Having a different world in virtual reality is nothing new. However, the rapid development of such a world, often known as the metaverse, has caught many peoples’ attention, including believers. Even in its earliest stage of development, the metaverse has already attracted many interested stakeholders and investors as it promises to open up many possibilities and offers many other opportunities. Of course, it does not come without any negative aspects. Yet, like any previous technological advancements, one should assess its weight to determine the appropriate response. This paper addresses whether the metaverse should be seen as a threat or an opportunity, especially by the church. The authors hope that this writing will help the church realize this coming world in the near future and prepare as soon as possible to anticipate this revolutionary disruption. Hopefully, The church can provide spiritual care for the “real” people behind and within this virtual reality. AbstrakKonsep tentang adanya dunia virtual bukanlah suatu hal baru. Kini, perkembangan yang pesat dari terwujudnya dunia virtual tersebut, yang sering dikenal dengan sebutan metaverse, telah menarik perhatian banyak orang termasuk orang percaya. Bahkan pada tahap awal pengembangannya, metaverse telah menarik banyak stakeholder dan investor karena janji akan banyaknya peluang dan kemungkinan lain yang terbuka. Tentu saja itu dunia ini tidak datang tanpa aspek negatifnya. Namun, seperti kemajuan teknologi sebelumnya, seseorang harus terlebih dahulu menilai bobotnya untuk menentukan respons yang tepat. Penelitian ini mencoba menjawab pertanyaan apakah metaverse perlu dilihat sebagai ancaman atau peluang khususnya oleh gereja Tuhan. Penulis berharap penelitian ini pada akhirnya akan menyadarkan gereja akan datangnya metaverse dalam waktu dekat sehingga dapat melakukan persiapan sebaik mungkin untuk mengantisipasi disrupsi revolusioner ini. Gereja diharapkan dapat memberikan pelayanan spiritual yang diperlukan oleh orang-orang "nyata" yang ada di belakang dan di dalam realitas virtual ini.
