Abstract

In the shadow of strong traditional customs, Batak Toba women are subjected to the authority of men, be it husbands or male relatives, and are confined to the role of Parhobas (servants) for every family event. Ivone Gebara's thoughts would provide inspiration to address the challenges of gender inequality through empowering women and inclusive human values in open dialogue, aiming for personal and social transformations that are inclusive, just, and sustainable, following the social-cultural context of Batak Toba in Indonesia. The focus of Ivone Gebara's theological thought aligns with the principles of Liberation Theology, emphasizing the importance of efforts to connect the Christian faith with the lives of communities affected by social and economic injustice, along with solidarity with the poor and oppressed. This research used a literature review method by examining recent articles on Ivone Gebara's thoughts. She critically observes the patriarchal structures in society and the Church, advocating for the need for critical reflection in inclusive and egalitarian interpretations of women's experiences to promote gender equality. Gebara's thoughts serve as a foundation to enrich public narratives and support education and feminist awareness for social change within the Batak Toba community. Contextualizing Gebara's ideas in Indonesia, particularly in the Batak Toba culture, can support movements and awareness regarding religious norms and encourage open discussions about women's roles in diverse societies.

Abstract

The story of Jacob acquiring birthright is one of the most popular stories in the Old Testament. This story became important and popular even more so because it was from there that the forerunner of Jacob was chosen as one of the patriarchs from whom the nation of Israel was born. This story became popular also because the right and blessing was obtained Jacob in a fraudulent way. With this writing, the author wants to dig deeper into what the real intention behind the lies Jacob committed with Rebekah his mother. Is it really a lie or is there some other purpose? So what about God's role in the story? To find the thing in question, the author used two methods in the preparation of this article. The two methods are the qualitative method and the scripture interpretation method with the narrative method. From the results of the study, the author concludes that apart from the motive of lies, it turns out that the blessings and birthitudes obtained by Jacob are also one of the fulfillment of the word that God conveyed to Rebekah.

Abstract

Some of Indonesia’s women’s mass organizations, once pivotal in the nation’s fight for independence, now seem to be losing momentum. Among the challenges they face is a history of policies limiting their activities to the domestic sphere, stifling broader engagement. The Catholic Women of the Republic of Indonesia (WKRI) is one organization determined to break through these constraints. WKRI seeks to revitalize its mission by encouraging its members to engage in public dialogue through writing and other forms of expression. In collaboration with the WKRI Sleman Branch in Yogyakarta, a series of writing workshops, discussions, and reflective activities aim to strengthen members’ voices. This initiative culminates in a commemorative book celebrating WKRI’s 100th anniversary, offering critical reflections on the role of women in public life.
