Abstract

Young Catholics are the next generation of sources of the Catholic faith. One of these is the holy book. The young Catholics of the island of Timor-NTT-Indonesia are very active in ecclesial activities. However, in reality, there are still many who do not have adequate knowledge and understanding of the Deuteurocanonical scriptures. This research aims to examine young Catholics' understanding and implementation of the Deuterocanonical Scriptures on the island of Timor-NTT and its impact on religious harmony. The method used is a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews and observations. The data obtained were reduced and analyzed so that they met the objectives of the research. The research results obtained show that young people's understanding of the Holy Bible is still minimal, especially regarding the differences between Catholic and Protestant holy books. However, the awareness of the importance of reading and meditating on the Holy Bible as a guide to life is quite high. To increase religious harmony on this island, intense socialization regarding the values ​​of the Deuterocanonical Scriptures is necessary. In conclusion, the values ​​contained in the Deuterocanonical Scriptures have great potential to strengthen relations between religious communities if well understood and implemented.

Abstract

Crimes committed by certain individuals, such as human trafficking, are a serious problem that needs to be addressed and continuously voiced and solutions sought, because these acts are sins that injure the human person himself and are also sins in front of them. human trafficking reduces the value and dignity of humans who are the face and likeness of God into goods that can be bought and sold. This action directly goes against God, who essentially loves humans and created humans equal to His own face and likeness. The aim of the research is for people to understand that this act of human trafficking already has the spirit of the Old and New Testaments. By understanding that humans are the image of God himself, solutions should be found to overcome the crime of human trafficking. This research uses a qualitative method by means of library research, namely investigating Bible stories, documents, theological books, articles, news related to the problem. The results of this research show that it is necessary to understand humans theologically in order to prevent and overcome cases of human trafficking in several ways, namely: humans as the image and likeness of God, humans were created as social creatures, humans were created not as goods but as individuals. As a follow-up, this research recommends that the government, church and society can make efforts to stop the practice of human trafficking which continues to grow.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the religious experiences of Young Catholich participating in the Stations of the Cross Service in various parishes on the island of Timor. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design to explore the meaning, reflection of faith, and internalization of the values ​​of love and sacrifice experienced by participants. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the understanding and experience of young Catholic regarding the Stations of the Cross Service vary significantlyl Some participants were able to interpret the symbols and events of each station reflectively and relevant to their life experiences, meanwhile others participated in the service as a routine without deep understanding. These findings also indicate that the values ​​of love and sacrifice contemplated in the service are beginning to be integrated into daily life, although their application is not yet consistent. This research emphasizes the importance of contextual and participatory pastoral care so that the Stations of the Cross Service can be a means of faith formation for young people.

Abstract

Background: Iman Katolik berakar pada Kitab Suci dan Tradisi Gereja yang menghadirkan para kudus sebagai teladan hidup Kristiani. Namun, banyak umat masih kurang memahami peran para kudus, sehingga menimbulkan miskonsepsi dalam devosi dan praktik iman. Di Bali, di mana umat Katolik dan Protestan menggunakan Gereja Oikumene secara bergiliran, persoalan ini sekaligus menegaskan pentingnya pendidikan iman yang inklusif dan ekumenis. Metode: Kegiatan dilaksanakan di Stasi St. Longginus Kepaon, Paroki Roh Kudus Denpasar-Bali, dengan melibatkan 30 peserta dari latar belakang pendidikan yang beragam. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah Problem Based Learning (PBL) dan Community Based Research (CBR) melalui tahapan observasi awal, penyusunan materi kontekstual, ceramah interaktif, visualisasi hidup para kudus, refleksi kelompok kecil, serta evaluasi dengan pre-test dan post-test. Hasil: Program menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan pemahaman iman umat, dari rata-rata nilai pre-test 56,3% menjadi 80,3% pada post-test, atau meningkat 24%. Peningkatan tertinggi tampak pada pemahaman tentang communio sanctorum, pembedaan antara penghormatan dan penyembahan, serta penerapan teladan para kudus dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Kesimpulan: Pendekatan partisipatif dan kontekstual terbukti efektif dalam memperdalam aspek kognitif dan praksis iman. Selain menambah pengetahuan, kegiatan ini mendorong umat untuk menghidupi nilai kekudusan dalam komunitas basis serta memperkuat semangat ekumene di Bali. Model ini dapat direplikasi di paroki lain sebagai strategi pendidikan iman yang kontekstual, aplikatif, dan transformatif.

Abstract

The global ecological crisis calls for theological reflections that move beyond normative approaches and engage with the lived religious experiences of local communities. This study addresses the limited attention given to indigenous rituals as sources of theological reflection in the development of contextual ecotheology. The research seeks to answer the following questions: How is the Toet Ulan ritual structured and understood within the community of T’eba Timur Village? How does it relate to the theology of creation? What ecotheological dimensions are embedded within the ritual practice? This study employed a qualitative approach using an ethnographic-theological method. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving twelve informants consisting of 3 traditional figures, ritual practitioners, religious figures, community figures and ritual participants. The data were analyzed through data reduction, thematic categorization, and theological interpretation in dialogue with the creation narratives of Genesis 1–2 and contemporary ecotheological perspectives. The findings reveal that the Toet Ulan ritual represents an ecotheological expression of the Timorese Dawan agrarian community, articulating an integral relationship among human beings, nature, ancestors, the community, and God as the source of life. Rain is understood as a divine gift, land as a life-sustaining reality that must be nurtured, ancestors as collective ecological memory, and communal solidarity as an ecological praxis. This study proposes the Relational Ecotheology Model of Toet Ulan, which is grounded in four interconnected relationships: human beings with God, nature, ancestors, and the community. This model enriches the study of theology of creation and contextual ecotheology by showing that customary rites can function as a locus theologicus in building the ecological spirituality of society
