Abstract

The phenomenon of respect for ancestors is as old as human civilization itself. This occurs due to the belief that deceased individuals can communicate God's will to those still living. A particular issue arises in the tradition of burning candles at graves, a practice believed to connect the living with their ancestors. The absence of this ritual is thought to bring adverse consequences for the community. Using descriptive qualitative methods and the theoretical framework of Ancestor Worship, this study examines the tradition of candle burning at graves. The objectives of this research are to explore the cultural and spiritual significance of the candle-burning tradition, identify its role in fostering ancestral respect, and assess its implications for religious practices, particularly among the Fatululi Carmel congregation in Kupang City. Additionally, the study seeks to analyze the potential for syncretism between traditional beliefs and Christian teachings. Research findings indicate that the Fatululi Carmel congregation performs this tradition on December 24th and 31st to strengthen relationships with ancestors, based on the belief in life after death. This practice reflects a perception that ancestors can contribute to a peaceful life for the community. The study highlights the Church's role in providing a Biblical perspective on such traditions through educational methods like Bible study classes, sermons, and cultural inculturation efforts. Furthermore, Christian Religious Education contributes to fostering faith, critical cultural awareness, and greater appreciation for cultural diversity while promoting tolerance and respect across traditions.

Abstract

Inclusive education is an approach that places all students, including those with special needs, in an equal and equitable education system. In the context of Christianity, inclusive education is not only a response to pedagogical needs, but also a manifestation of theological values such as love, justice, acceptance, and recognition of the dignity of every human being as the image and likeness of God (Imago Dei). This article analyzes inclusive education from a Christian perspective by reviewing the basic principles of inclusivity and pedagogy, the legal foundations, as well as those underlying its application. This research also reviews the role of churches and schools in forming inclusive educational communities, including in curriculum development, provision of infrastructure, and social-spiritual empowerment. The method used is a literature study of academic literature and biblical texts. The results of the study show that inclusive education in Christianity is not just a social obligation, but a deep call of faith to restore and embrace all of God's creation in its entirety. The Church and Christian educational institutions are required to be exemplary in building a humane and liberating education system.
