Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has introduced new challenges for religious practices, particularly in maintaining spiritual depth and church authority amidst virtual interactions. Churches and Christians face difficulties in maintaining the authenticity of faith in the digital world, where access to spiritual services and religious teachings is increasingly convenient but often diminishes the quality of spiritual engagement and interpersonal relationships within the congregation. This article aims to explore how Christian faith adapts in the transition from physical traditions to digital transmission in the cyber world. The focus is on understanding the impact of digitalization on worship, teaching, and Christian fellowship, as well as how churches can leverage technological opportunities without compromising the essence of faith. The research employs a qualitative approach using phenomenological methods to explore the subjective experiences of church leaders and congregations regarding the use of digital platforms in religious life. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observation of digital religious practices, such as online worship and teachings via social media. The findings show that while digitalization allows broader access to Christian teachings, there is a risk of diminishing spiritual depth and fragmenting interpersonal relationships within the congregation. The article offers practical strategies for churches to integrate technology wisely, maintaining a balance between digital innovation and the preservation of traditional spiritual values.

Abstract

This paper examines the pivotal role of women in the ministry of Jesus Christ, going beyond the often limited historical representation. A comprehensive analysis of the Gospel texts reveals the diverse roles women played, ranging from financial support and direct service to Jesus—such as Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Salome, who remained faithfully by His side until His death and even participated in His burial—to their role as primary witnesses to His resurrection. These women were not merely passive recipients of Jesus' teachings but were active agents in the spread of the Gospel and the formation of the early Christian community. This study particularly highlights their courage, loyalty, and steadfast faith amidst the patriarchal culture of their time, demonstrating their significant contributions, which have often been overlooked in traditional narratives. Furthermore, the paper explores the theological implications of these women's roles, challenging interpretations that marginalize or underestimate their active participation in Jesus' life and ministry. Thus, this research calls for a more inclusive and balanced interpretation of the Gospel texts to rightly acknowledge the fundamental contributions of women in shaping the history and development of Christianity. It also encourages the continued participation of women in serving God today.
