Abstract

This paper aims to examine from the perspective of Christian theology the Mohatu tradition, which is still practiced among the Saluan tribe in Simpang II village. The Mohatu tradition is a ritual for releasing the spirits of the dead, carried out 16 days after death, by placing seven to nine types of garden produce on the deceased's grave. Then the spirits will no longer come to collect garden produce which can result in crop failure. The research method is ethnography, with in-depth interviews as a data collection technique. Data were analyzed with reduction, display, and conclusion techniques. The informants involved totaled 15, consisting of traditional leaders and community leaders of the Saluan tribe, as well as Pastors and Congregational Councils who serve in the Saluan tribe. The study results show that the Mohatu tradition is a medium for the Saluan tribe to deal with farmers' crop failures. In the Mohatu tradition, spirits are believed to remain in the world (graves) and carry out their usual activities, including gardening. Because of that, the spirits can still interfere with plantation activities. This tradition needs to be transformed because it has the potential to slow down the development and use of agricultural technology by the Saluan people. Transformation is possible with a religious approach through contextualizing Christian theology about death. In Christian theology, God has power over life and death. After humans die physically, their spirits will return to God, so no more spirits in this world can affect human life.

Abstract

Worship is the central activity of the church, but many churches whose congregation members are less active in worship. Several studies have shown that the cell group approach can encourage church members to worship actively. The Banggai Protestant Independent Congregation (PJM-PB) of the Pondan Korampotan Congregation also faces the same problem, but until now, the cell group approach has not been used in ministry. This study examines the potency of the cell group approach in increasing the attendance of church members in worship at the Pondan Korampotan Congregation. The method used is qualitative, with interviews as a data collection technique. Data analysis uses reduction, display, and conclusion techniques. The number of informants involved was 13, including pastors, church boards and church members. The study results show that the cell group approach is very potential to be implemented in the Pondan Korampotan Congregation because all informants view this approach as essential and believe that if implemented in the congregation, it will encourage increased congregation member participation in worship. The reasons put forward to support this opinion include: 1) cell group makes it easier for God's servants in the congregation to reach all members, including members who are not active; 2) cell group provides space for all members to participate actively; 3) in the cell group, the relationship between members is intimate, mutually supportive, and sharing.

Abstract

The research problem focuses on the differing perspectives between Christianity and the beliefs of the Saluan community regarding the concept of death and the existence of the soul after death. In Christianity, death is viewed as the final separation of the body and soul. In contrast, in the beliefs of the Saluan community, the soul undergoes a transitional phase known as the Periode Ton. This study aims to analyze the similarities and differences in the concepts of death and the existence of the soul after death in both belief systems. The research employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach. Data were collected from various sources, including books, scholarly journal articles, and previous research findings. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that while there are similarities in understanding death as the separation of body and soul, significant differences exist in the existence and influence of the soul after death. In the beliefs of the Saluan community, the soul remains in the physical world until the Mohatu ritual is performed. In contrast, Christianity asserts that the soul immediately enters the presence of God or is separated from Him. In conclusion, this study contributes to contextual theology by integrating cross-cultural understanding.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kesesuaian konsep berkat dalam ritual Montalai suku Saluan dengan ajaran Kristen, serta mengeksplorasi bagaimana ritual tersebut dapat diterjemahkan dan dipahami dalam kerangka ajaran Kristen menggunakan model terjemahan Stephen B. Bevans. Metodologi yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik wawancara mendalam dan observasi terhadap pelaksanaan ritual Montalai. Data yang diperoleh dari wawancara dengan tokoh adat dan pemburu, serta observasi lapangan, dianalisis untuk mengidentifikasi simbol-elemen atau simbol budaya yang relevan dengan konsep berkat dalam Kristen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa simbol-simbol seperti Tinumpu Nu Tano sebagai sumber berkat, sesajen, syair doa, dan pantangan dalam ritual Montalai dapat diterjemahkan sebagai ekspresi permohonan berkat dalam konteks Kristen, tanpa mengubah inti ajaran Kristen tentang berkat. Kesimpulan penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa penerjemahan ritual Montalai ke dalam ajaran Kristen berpotensi memperkaya pemahaman spiritual masyarakat Saluan, namun memerlukan kehati-hatian untuk menghindari sinkretisme. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi terhadap pengembangan teologi kontekstual dan praktik inklusif dalam menyampaikan pesan Injil kepada komunitas dengan tradisi budaya yang kuat.
