Abstract

Ecological issues are not just ordinary problems but global issues that affect grassroots communities that are powerless in terms of knowledge, social, economic, cultural, and religious aspects. The objective is to analyze the presence of religious minority communities in responding to the ecological crisis in Southeast Aceh through the contextualization of ecological theology from the encyclical Laudato Si’, using a qualitative phenomenological approach through interviews and focus group discussions with 26 participants in 2025. The results of the study show the successful implementation of an integral ecology model that transforms reforestation from a technical action into a practice of faith, supported by the synergistic integration of three dimensions: spiritual as a driver of ecological conversion, social through participatory community structures, and technical with sustainable methods such as agroforestry. The main conclusion offers a transformative solution: that addressing the ecological crisis must begin with a transformation of the heart driven by spirituality, strengthened by community, and manifested in systematic concrete actions, while also becoming a blueprint for contextual and value-based environmental conservation. This research contributes to developing a model that promotes social and cultural awareness, as well as ecological conversion, which can be used to create educational curricula from elementary to university levels. Additionally, it serves as a policy recommendation for both the government and the Catholic Church regarding Christian anthropological theology education.

Abstract

The story of the miracle of the wine in wedding at Cana is one of the most significant narrative text in the New Testament. Jesus did his first sign at the beginning of his public ministry. This study of the account of the wedding at Cana in Jn 2,1-12 is influenced by two statements “he revealed his glory and his disciple believed in him (v.11). I will approach the text by analyzing the characterization of every character in the narrative: how the character works to contribute to the theological perspective of the Gospel? The literary structure of the periscope is analyzed, and the meaning of the sign is understood as a Messianic miracle that leads the disciples to a firm belief in Jesus as the Messiah. It is argued that the revelation of glory does not create faith directly but it is link with the faith that the secret is only reveled to those who believe. The miracle of the wine is then able to reveal a profound secret concerning the person of Jesus, his union with the Father. The faith of the disciple in this text is not only an initial faith but a total faith in Jesus.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze how these cultural values are understood and practiced in the daily lives of the faithful and how they can be interpreted in the light of the biblical narrative of Abraham. This study employs a qualitative approach with a contextual theological perspective. The research was conducted at Stasi Santo Petrus Silaban, St. Francis of Assisi Parish, Palipi, where the majority of the community comes from a Batak Toba cultural background. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving parish members, church administrators, and traditional leaders. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by triangulation techniques. The findings reveal that the values of Hamoraon, Hagabeon, and Hasangapon continue to influence the Batak Toba Catholic understanding of life success, yet these values are increasingly interpreted in the light of Christian faith. Furthermore, these cultural values show thematic parallels with the concepts of land, descendants, and blessing in Genesis 12:1–9. This study concludes that Batak Toba philosophy can serve as a meaningful space for contextual theological reflection, where local cultural values engage in a constructive dialogue with the theological message of Sacred Scripture.
