Abstract

This study aims to explore the dynamics of leadership regeneration in an ecclesiastical context with an emphasis on three main aspects: the urgency of leadership renewal, the escalation of conflict within the synod, and the contribution of cross-generational participation in the leadership structure. The approach used in this research is descriptive qualitative, which focuses on in-depth understanding of existing phenomena. Regeneration of ecclesiastical leadership is becoming an increasingly urgent issue in the midst of rapid social change, transformation of service orientation, and the declining level of involvement of the younger generation in church organizational structures. In the absence of a structured and sustainable regeneration system, the dominance of certain age groups in leadership may hinder the renewal of the church's vision and the transfer of relevant ministry values. Therefore, leadership regeneration should be viewed as a transformative and contextual structural reform, which aims to respond to the challenges of the times and prepare a more inclusive and adaptive future leadership. Conflicts in church synods are often triggered by the tension between the application of normative church ordinances and the complexity of interpersonal relationships shaped by the history and internal dynamics of the church. Rigid application of ecclesiastical regulations without considering the social context can trigger deliberative dysfunction and polarization, which hinders inclusive decision-making. In this case, managerial skills in managing conflict through dialogic, empathic, and reconciliatory approaches are needed to maintain the cohesion and legitimacy of the synod, so that decisions can reflect the needs and aspirations of the people. Cross-generational participation in church leadership is key to ensuring continuity and synergy in ministry. Collaboration between senior and younger generations can strengthen collective capacity, transform power relations, and create inclusive and sustainable leadership models.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Indonesia, as a pluralistic nation with diverse religions, cultures, and ethnic groups, presents real challenges for the Church in carrying out its mission in a relevant and contextual manner. This study aims to examine the concept of the Church's mission within a pluralistic society in an interfaith context, identify the challenges faced by the Church, and formulate the Church's role and strategies in building interfaith harmony. This study employs a qualitative method with a literature study approach, through the review of 10 scientific journal articles systematically selected from the Google Scholar, Scopus, and ProQuest databases, using content analysis to identify key themes. The study was conducted in four stages: source identification, selection based on relevance and recency criteria (2020–2025), content analysis, and synthesis of findings. The results reveal three main themes: first, the theological foundations and concept of the Church's mission in a pluralistic society; second, the challenges faced by the Church, including exclusivism and interfaith prejudice; and third, the Church's role and strategies in building harmony through dialogue, cross-faith collaboration, and lived witness. The main conclusion affirms that the Church's mission is not only vertical-spiritual in nature, but also constitutes a tangible horizontal contribution to strengthening harmony and social cohesion in Indonesia. ABSTRAK Indonesia sebagai negara majemuk dengan keberagaman agama, budaya, dan suku bangsa menghadirkan tantangan nyata bagi Gereja dalam menjalankan misinya secara relevan dan kontekstual. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji konsep misi Gereja di tengah masyarakat majemuk dalam konteks antaragama, mengidentifikasi tantangan yang dihadapi Gereja, serta merumuskan peran dan strategi Gereja dalam membangun kerukunan antaragama. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur, melalui kajian terhadap 10 artikel jurnal ilmiah yang dipilih secara sistematis dari database Google Scholar, Scopus, dan ProQuest, menggunakan analisis isi untuk menemukan tema-tema utama. Kajian dilakukan melalui empat tahapan: identifikasi sumber, seleksi berdasarkan kriteria relevansi dan kekinian (2020–2025), analisis isi, dan sintesis temuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tiga tema utama: pertama, landasan teologis dan konsep misi Gereja dalam masyarakat majemuk; kedua, tantangan yang dihadapi Gereja, termasuk eksklusivisme dan prasangka antaragama; serta ketiga peran dan strategi Gereja dalam membangun kerukunan melalui dialog, kolaborasi lintas iman, dan kesaksian hidup. Simpulan utama menegaskan bahwa misi Gereja tidak hanya berdimensi vertikal-spiritual, tetapi juga merupakan kontribusi nyata yang horizontal bagi penguatan kerukunan dan harmoni sosial di Indonesia.
