Abstract

The study employs a descriptive approach to examine the significant role played by Sunday School Caregivers in shaping the character, faith, and spiritual development of children within the Toraja Church. The research aims to offer valuable insights into the diverse roles of Sunday School Caregivers and their contributions to facilitating spiritual growth and character development among the young generation. To collect data for this study, in-depth interviews were conducted with Sunday School Caregivers from various congregations within the Toraja Church region. The data gathered from these interviews provided valuable perspectives and experiences directly from the teachers, shedding light on their practices, challenges, and approaches in nurturing the faith of the children under their care. By exploring the lived experiences and insights of these dedicated educators, the study seeks to enhance our understanding of the profound impact of Sunday School teachers in shaping the spiritual journey of the future torchbearers of the Toraja Church.

Abstract

Aluk is a system of life that occurs in all areas of human life that includes customs and culture. The aluk that was already in the sky, and Puang Matua and the gods were brought the provisions of the aluk. So that the relationship between in heaven and on earth is bound together. So it appears in Aluk Rambu Solo'. One of them that is still being done today is the installation of Rambu Solo rite symbols. In making and installing the Rambu Solo' symbol, there are certain conditions that must be met. The symbols of Rambu Solo' rites are rituals to remember and honor ancestors who have died and can bless and protect the family. So this is the background so that the author wants to explore the meaning of the symbols of Rambu Solo' Rite and theological studies. In this study, the author uses “socio-discourse analysis" which is an interdisciplinary approach that combines elements of social analysis and discourse analysis. This method aims to understand how language is used in a particular social context and how it reflects, creates, or reproduces social structures, powers, identities, and social relations. Here are the general steps in conducting research using the socio-discourse analysis method.The results showed that the making and installation of Rambu Solo' rite symbols is still within the understanding of Aluk Todolo and is seen as a legacy from ancestors. In the making and installation of the symbols of the Rambu Solo rite , the Gospel Crystal has actually been seen, but it is still in the understanding of Aluk Todolo. Therefore, through the creation and installation of Rambu Solo rite symbols, it is necessary to accompany and direct the Torajan people in understanding the meaning of Rambu Solo rite symbols so that they can enjoy the gospel of Christ through culture
