Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of the Presbyterian-Synodal system of church governance in shaping an inclusive, participatory, and contextual ministry within the Indonesian Protestant Church in Papua (GPI Papua). Employing a qualitative approach and contextual case study, the research focuses on the relationship between church governance structures and Papuan communal culture, which emphasizes deliberation, egalitarianism, and communal living. The findings indicate that, in principle, the Presbyterian-Synodal system possesses the potential to accommodate the collective character of Papuan society and to support congregational participation in ecclesiastical decision-making processes. However, implementation at the local level faces several challenges, including inconsistent understanding of ecclesiastical roles and responsibilities, limited human resource capacity, and misalignment between synodal policies and the contextual needs of congregations. These issues reveal a gap between the theological-structural design of the system and the pastoral realities on the ground. Therefore, this study recommends institutional renewal based on local contexts, the development of transformative church leadership models, and the strengthening of ecclesiological education rooted in Papuan cultural and social dynamics. Theoretically and practically, this research contributes to the development of contextual ecclesiology and church management in multicultural settings, emphasizing the importance of synthesizing Reformed theology with local values. As such, this study not only offers a constructive critique of current church governance practices but also opens space for reflection and innovation, enabling the church to become more relevant, just, and empowering in addressing contemporary challenges and contextual realities.

Abstract

The Hahi dance ritual of the Hulaliu indigenous community in Haruku Island, Central Maluku, is a collective rite rich in bodily, spatial, and spiritual symbolism. This study aims to analyze the structure of the Hahi ritual through Victor Turner’s theory of liminality and to explore how ritual symbolism shapes and reinforces social identity and soa-based structures. Using a qualitative approach with content analysis, data were collected through literature review and in-depth interviews with traditional figures. The findings reveal that the Hahi ritual consists of three stages—pre-liminal, liminal, and post-liminal—conducted collectively by the entire community. The liminal stage creates a sense of communitas by temporarily dissolving social hierarchies, thus reinforcing solidarity and ancestral values. Symbols such as body movement, tifa rhythm, ceremonial colors, and sacred spaces like Baileo function as complex mediums of spiritual and social communication. This study concludes that Hahi represents a cyclical and communal liminal experience, serving not only as cultural preservation but also as a form of resistance against modern pressures. It is best understood as a rite of intensification that regenerates social order and sustains collective memory within the indigenous context.
