Abstract

This article describes the Gereja orang basudara concept in The Protestant Church of Maluku as the umbrella protecting and showing civic engagement, such as our strong tradition, religious institution, and mutual trust in Maluku. There are two essential points which are the history of Muslims-Christians' engagement in building social interaction and problem-solving after conflict by large, a sphere of solidarity. This research employed narrative research on the qualitative research method through historical and autoethnography approaches. The research result found that, first, the Gereja orang basudara term lives on the grassroots of society but did not show up in the institutional regime, which caused the failure of religious institutions and leaders to stop the violence during the social conflict in Maluku in 1999. After the battle, the Protestant Church of Moluccas practices peacebuilding by claiming their space and sphere as the room for all, where the church exists not only as a building for Christian people but also for Muslim people. Finally, the church does peacebuilding similar to peacebuilding in everyday life.

Abstract

The paradigm of self or person experiences significant differences. The influence of Platonic philosophy and also Gnosticism understands a person dichotomously. Apart from that, the Christian faith understands the self or person as a complete entity and identity where the spirit, soul and body unite and complement each other. By using a critical review of literature studies on Soul care, this research reveals firstly, the incarnation and ministry of Jesus and legitimizes the state of the three entities in the self or person as a complete and integrated identity. Second, the space of soul care covers all aspects of self or person in a small scope, as well as family and environment in a large scope. Third, the transformation of life on the pilgrimage of faith in and the practice of soul care depends on each person's choice.

Abstract

This article examines the entanglement of ritual practice, globalization, and indigenous ecological ethics through the unique case of Christmas tree performances in Tanimbar Island, Eastern Indonesia. While the Christmas tree originates as a European Christian cultural invention, its arrival in Tanimbar—mediated by Dutch missionaries—generates a radically different mode of ritualization and ecological engagement. Drawing on autoethnographic fieldwork, this study identifies three key dynamics: (1) the Christianization and emotionalization of the Christmas tree as a liturgical symbol; (2) the community’s deliberate rejection of industrial and plastic Christmas trees associated with global markets; and (3) the use of mangrove trees (Tongke) as Christmas trees framed within local cosmology, SASI customary law, and oceanic ecological ethics. The findings demonstrate that Tanimbar communities situate Christmas not merely as a religious ritual but as a negotiation of identity, ecological stewardship, and resistance to global debates on religion, ecology, and indigenous knowledge by demonstrating how Christian rituals are reindigenized, ocean-centered, and ecologically restorative.
