Abstract

The study explores the role of the Personal Evangelization School (PES) as a structured model of lay formation in fostering apostolate spirituality within the contemporary Church, particularly in the Indonesian context and the digital era. Rooted in the ecclesiology of the Second Vatican Council, the study responds to challenges such as secularization, limited lay formation, and the expansion of digital culture. Using a qualitative descriptive approach based on literature review and supported by observational data from PES activities in the Suffragan Diocese of Bogor, the study analyzes the theological foundations and pastoral practices of PES. The findings show that PES effectively cultivates lay apostolate spirituality by integrating personal encounter with Christ, communal participation, and missionary engagement. A key contribution of the study lies in demonstrating how digital platforms, such as Zoom, reshape the nature of ―personal encounter‖ through mediated, dialogical, and reflective interactions. While these digital encounters foster authentic forms of communion, They remain distinct from the embodied presence required in sacramental life. In conclusion, PES emerges as a strategic pastoral instrument that bridges theological reflection and pastoral praxis, forming missionary disciples capable of engaging both physical and digital spaces.

Abstract

Gender equality has become a major concern in Indonesia’s religious life, influenced by patriarchal social structures and diverse interpretations of women’s roles. This study explores the theological foundations of gender equality in six official religions: Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, and examines the gap between doctrinal ideals and socio-religious practices. Using a qualitative approach through literature review and interreligious comparative analysis, data were drawn from sacred texts, institutional documents, and academic works, analyzed through theological hermeneutics and sociological perspectives. Findings show that all religions recognize theological principles of gender equality, yet implementation is limited by patriarchal norms and historical traditions. Egalitarian values are often constrained by gender-biased structures. Inclusive theological reinterpretation is essential to align religious teachings with modern contexts and strengthen women’s participation in public and religious spheres. Achieving gender equality requires critical interfaith reflection to promote social justice and uphold human dignity.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menganalisis figur Santo Longinus melalui pendekatan multidisipliner yang mencakup dimensi historis, teologis, hagiografis, dan devosional. Meskipun narasi Injil hanya menyebut seorang prajurit dan centurion tanpa identitas personal dalam kisah sengsara, tradisi Gereja kemudian mengembangkan sosok “Longinus” sebagai saksi penyaliban yang mengalami pertobatan dan akhirnya dihormati sebagai santo. Kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa konstruksi figur Santo Longinus terbentuk melalui interaksi antara teks kanonik, tradisi apokrif, elaborasi hagiografis, serta penerimaan liturgis dan devosional dalam Gereja Timur dan Barat. Secara teologis, tindakan penusukan lambung Kristus dipahami sebagai momen pewahyuan misteri keselamatan, terutama melalui simbolisme darah-air yang sejak tradisi patristik dikaitkan dengan sakramen Baptisan dan Ekaristi serta gagasan Gereja yang lahir dari sisi Kristus. Dari perspektif historis–kultural, perkembangan legenda, ikonografi, dan devosi, termasuk venerasi relikui Holy Lance, memperlihatkan bagaimana memori kolektif Gereja membentuk identitas spiritual umat melalui figur Santo Longinus. Analisis kritis penelitian menegaskan bahwa signifikansi Santo Longinus tidak terletak pada kepastian historis, melainkan pada  daya  simbolisnya   sebagai  teladan  pertobatan, saksi iman dan representasi informasi rohani yang bersumber dari misteri salib. Dengan demikian, Santo Longinus dipahami bukan sekedar tokoh historis, melainkan konstruksi spiritual yang memadukan fakta biblis, tradisi, dan refleksi teologis serta berfungsi sebagai model pastoral yang menampilkan teladan pertobatan dan kesaksian iman Kristiani.
