Abstract

Christian moral education strategies for children with intellectual disabilities play an important role in the formation of solid character and spiritual values. This guide is designed to assist parents in effectively implementing the principles of Christian moral education at home. The main focus of these strategies is on developing a loving environment, a deep understanding of the child's special needs, and the use of creative and adaptive learning methods. Parents are encouraged to incorporate Bible stories, prayer, and other spiritual activities in the child's daily routine. In addition, the importance of parental example in applying Christian values is also emphasized, as children tend to learn through observation and imitation. Involving children in church communities and social activities can help them feel a sense of community and strengthen their sense of spiritual identity. An emphasis on patience, understanding, and emotional support is essential in dealing with the challenges that arise in this moral education process. The guide also includes practical tips for dealing with difficult behavior, as well as ways to motivate children to continue learning and growing in their Christian faith. With a loving and inclusive approach, it is hoped that children with intellectual disabilities can develop strong Christian morals and grow into individuals of integrity and faith. This guide aims to provide comprehensive support and guidance for parents, so that they can be effective primary educators of their children on their spiritual and moral journey.

Abstract

Abstract. The church has always been faced with the issue of serving people with intellectual disabilities. The question arises, whether people with intellectual disabilities are whole human beings who the Image of God (Imago Dei) are, which is traditionally understood as only related to the intellectual and rational dimensions. This study aimed to explore the divine ability (Capax Dei) of people with intellectual disabilities in acknowleging God. The research method used was literature study. The result of this study confirmed that people with intellectual disabilities have a unique way of building a relationship with the Creator. Divine ability cannot only be determined based on cognitive capacity and fluency in expressing one's spiritual condition.Abstrak. Gereja selalu berhadapan dengan isu pelayanan terhadap penyandang disabilitas intelektual. Muncul pertanyaan, apakah penyandang disabilitas intelektual adalah manusia seutuhnya yang merupakan Gambar Allah (Imago Dei), yang mana secara tradisional konsep tersebut dipahami hanya terkait dengan dimensi intelektual dan rasionalitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi kemampuan ilahi (Capax Dei) penyandang disabilitas intelektual dalam mengenal Allah. Metode peneltian yang digunakan adalah studi literatur. Hasil kajian ini menegaskan bahwa penyandang disabilitas intelektual memiliki cara yang unik di dalam membangun relasi dengan Sang Pencipta. Kemampuan ilahi tidak bisa hanya ditentukan berdasarkan kapasitas kognitif dan kefasihan dalam mengekspresikan kondisi spiritualnya.
