Abstract

This research analyzes the historiography and interfaith dialogue related to the Aluk Todolo belief in Mapia, Kapala Pitu, Lembang Benteng Mamullu, North Toraja. The study focuses on the interaction of ancestral cosmology, the social structure of the tongkonan (traditional tongkonan), and the presence of world religions, particularly Christianity and Catholicism, in shaping local religious historical narratives. Using a qualitative approach, case study design, and narrative analysis, this research reconstructs the community's internal narrative through interviews with tominaa (traditional leaders) and traditional leaders, then places this narrative in critical dialogue with established academic narratives. The findings indicate that the Aluk Todolo ritual is not extinct but is reinterpreted through glocalization, reconstruction of death rites, and interfaith family practices that negotiate the boundaries between traditional and official religions. Interfaith relations are based on tongkonan kinship, while the identities of the younger generation are hybrid, combining official religion with ancestral memories and symbols.

Abstract

This article examines in-kind offerings in the church as a phenomenon that lies between two poles: an expression of faith and the potential for economic commodification. Using a qualitative approach based on literature, this research examines the theological meaning of in-kind offerings as a response of the congregation to God, the risk of misappropriation when offerings are treated as economic assets, and the relevance of the Cleansing of the Temple narrative as a critique of religious practices that deviate from the purpose of worship. The analysis shows that in-kind offerings are a manifestation of spirituality rooted in gratitude and obedience, but can lose their meaning when the church fails to maintain integrity in its governance. The Cleansing of the Temple narrative provides an ethical foundation for rejecting all forms of commercialization in worship spaces. This article emphasizes that transparency, accountability, theological education, and service orientation are key principles for ensuring offerings are managed according to the values ​​of the Kingdom of God. Thus, in-kind offerings are not only part of liturgical rituals but also a field for character formation and the church's witness in the world.
