Abstract

This study discusses the interaction between adherents of the Laroma organization beliefs who are still loyal to carrying out Minahasa old beliefs with the surrounding community. Where when believers perform their obligations as believers, there is an act of rejection accepted by believers. Through the approach of Christian theology and qualitative research methods, this study aims to understand the views or reactions of the congregation to the phenomenon of the existence of the laroma organization, and how they can coexist with every difference that exists. So as to create a good relationship that respects and respects each other in a plural life while maintaining the faith of Christian beliefs.

Abstract

This article discusses "Religious Culture Study of Views About Minahasan Ancestors in the GMIM Elim Suluan Congregation, Tomohon Lima Region." This congregation is located in Suluan Village, Tombulu District, Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi Province. The life of the Elim Suluan Congregation is still very much influenced by the mixture of Minahasa cultural traditions and customs which continues to develop to this day. The Suluan context where society is increasingly open to modern progress through technology, information and transportation which can be felt means that the existence of traditions in culture is starting to be eroded, so Based on the existing reality, it is deemed necessary to provide understanding to the congregation, so that the congregation understands more deeply that knowing about the ancestors of the Minahasa people and their life values is very important and influences the continuity of church life within the congregation.

Abstract

This study examines why local churches in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, struggle to translate their theological commitments to justice and creation care into sustained and holistic ministries aligned with sustainability principles. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, data were gathered from 178 congregants, four focus groups (n=32), and eight key informant interviews across three Protestant churches. The study identifies five issues interrelated like: (1) the gap in the operation; (2) the human resources gap; (3) the financial weakness; (4) the cultural-theological gap; and (5) the underutilized assets.. Critically, these barriers reinforce themselves, creating a self-perpetuating cycle of inertia. The study provides an empirically grounded understanding of faith-based sustainability challenges in the Global South, shifting the discourse from deficit-based to asset-based approaches. It highlights the importance of holistic interventions that simultaneously focus on theological re-education, institutional capacity, and financial innovation. Strategies such as designing stepwise ministry toolkits, establishing minor lay-coordinating roles, creating various funding sources through social enterprises or grants, and redefining ecological and social action as part of the ecclesial identity are among the recommendations. Such findings provide a replicable template for churches worldwide that seek to connect faith and sustainable action in ways that resonate with their cultures

Abstract

This research explores Paul's speech in Athens (Acts 17:16-34) using a postcolonial lens to uncover how early Christian messaging engaged with dominant Greek cultural ideologies. The study aims to analyze how Paul positioned his message in the midst of a colonized cultural framework, focusing particularly on his use of local religious references, such as the "altar to the unknown God," to bridge theological narratives and cultural relevance. Employing a qualitative method grounded in textual and thematic analysis, the study draws from postcolonial theory, particularly the concepts of hybridity and cultural negotiation. Findings reveal that Paul’s approach at the Areopagus demonstrates a dialogical method of communication in which he neither rejected nor fully assimilated Athenian culture, but reinterpreted it through the lens of Christian theology. His strategy resulted in religious hybridity that allowed his message to be more accessible within the dominant Greco-Roman discourse. This study contributes to a broader understanding of intercultural dialogue in religious contexts and emphasizes the utility of postcolonial theory for interpreting early Christian texts. The implications highlight the continued relevance of adaptive and respectful engagement in cross-cultural religious communication, particularly in power imbalances and cultural hegemony settings.

Abstract

Fenomena hibriditas agama dalam budaya Minahasa mencerminkan perjumpaan antara tradisi leluhur dan kekristenan yang tidak saling meniadakan, melainkan membentuk ekspresi iman baru yang kontekstual. Penelitian ini mengkaji praktik reges lewo, yaitu ritus pengusiran roh jahat yang masih dijalankan oleh sebagian masyarakat Minahasa di situs budaya Watu Pinawetengan di desa Pinabetengan, Sulawesi Utara. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memahami bagaimana simbol-simbol kekristenan seperti salib, Alkitab, dan doa-doa Kristen diintegrasikan ke dalam praktik ritual tradisional, serta bagaimana hal itu membentuk konstruksi teologi lokal. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Data diperoleh melalui 3 teknik pengumpulan data, yakni observasi non-partisipatif, wawancara semi-terstruktur, dan studi dokumentasi yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa komunitas secara sadar menyerap unsur kekristenan tanpa menghapus kepercayaan leluhur Minahasa, sehingga tercipta spiritualitas yang khas. Kesimpulannya, reges lewo merupakan bentuk nyata dari hibriditas agama yang menumbuhkan iman Kristen yang kontekstual, dinamis, dan berakar pada nilai-nilai budaya Minahasa.

Abstract

This research aims to understand how the meaning of this tradition is formed through social interactions, using the symbolic interactionism approach of George Herbert Mead. The main question posed is how individuals and the community of Pangian Barat Village develop shared meaning through participation in the Kolubung tradition. The research methodology employs a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, along with thematic analysis. Data were collected from members of the community involved in the Kolubung tradition and analyzed to identify the social meanings that are formed in the practice. The results of the study indicate that the Kolubung Tradition functions as a symbol of mourning and as a space for building social solidarity and strengthening relationships among community members. This finding highlights the importance of preserving local traditions as part of social identity and community solidarity, even in the face of changing challenges. This research enriches the understanding of the role of symbols in local traditions and can serve as a foundation for further research regarding the role of the younger generation in maintaining these traditions.

Abstract

Although locally familiar images are increasingly used in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) vocabulary instruction, their potential to affirm the cultural identities of peripheral and minority communities remains insufficiently theorized. This study examines the design and immediate classroom outcomes of a place-based intervention using coastal imagery with 32 Indonesian EFL undergraduates. Rather than treating familiarity solely as a cognitive resource, the study investigates how locally meaningful visual representations can support cultural identity affirmation while developing English vocabulary. A mixedmethods design was employed. Students completed pre- and post-tests measuring their selection of contextually appropriate adjectives before and after a 105-minute instructional sequence centered on coastal images. Structured classroom observations complemented the test data by documenting students’ engagement, responses, and identity-related interactions during learning activities. The findings indicate that coastal images function as more than semantic anchors or aids to vocabulary retention. They become critical cultural sites where students recognize, negotiate, and articulate local coastal identities within the framework of global English. The study argues that place-based pedagogy in EFL should move beyond decorative authenticity, in which local culture is included merely to make materials appear relevant. Instead, teachers and materials designers should deliberately use local visual resources to validate minority and peripheral linguistic identities, encourage culturally meaningful participation, and connect students’ lived experiences with English language learning. The study offers a bounded, identity-focused design heuristic for ASEAN-relevant EFL contexts across diverse Indonesian and ASEAN educational settings. It concludes that culturally sustaining pedagogy can bridge local heritage and global English proficiency when place-based images are treated not simply as instructional illustrations but as resources for identity work, participation, and linguistic empowerment.
