Abstract

This study investigates the theological and practical dimensions of offering management in the funeral liturgy of the Evangelical Christian Church in Talaud (GERMITA), with a specific focus on the Maranatha Mangaran congregation. Traditionally, GERMITA’s official funeral liturgy does not include offerings as a component of worship, despite their theological significance throughout biblical tradition. However, the Maranatha Mangaran congregation has adopted this practice, raising important questions about liturgical flexibility, contextual theology, and pastoral care. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with church leaders and members, participant observation during funeral services, and document analysis of liturgical regulations and church council decisions. Findings indicate that incorporating offerings into funeral liturgies holds deep theological meaning as an act of gratitude to God and also serves practical functions. It supports grieving families financially and enhances congregational solidarity. The practice reflects the church’s mission to serve both spiritual and material needs of its community. This research suggests that church leaders consider formal integration of offerings into funeral worship, as it embodies a meaningful theological response and addresses pastoral realities. The study contributes to ongoing discourse on contextual liturgy and strengthens the relevance of worship practices within GERMITA.

Abstract

This study explores the theological implications of Imago Dei for gender equality in the Indonesian context, emphasizing the equal status of women as co-bearers of the divine image. Drawing on a qualitative method with a critical literature review approach, this research analyzes biblical texts, theological interpretations, and socio-cultural realities related to gender discrimination. The study revisits the Hebrew terms tselem and demuth (Genesis 1:26–27), underscoring that both men and women reflect God’s likeness through intellect, morality, and relational capacity. However, patriarchal interpretations—especially within Old Testament narratives—have historically marginalized women by framing them as subordinate to men. In the Indonesian cultural context, these theological biases are compounded by social and linguistic constructs that reinforce gender hierarchy. The findings reveal that feminist theological frameworks provide a constructive reinterpretation of women’s roles in Scripture, portraying figures like Deborah, Hannah, and Rahab as agents of faith and leadership. This study concludes that recognizing women as co-image bearers of God is essential for theological reform and gender justice, and it urges the church to dismantle patriarchal structures, promote inclusive leadership, and collaborate with broader human rights efforts in Indonesia.
