<![CDATA[This study generally aims to describe the strategy of modern Batak and Christian sects (Charismatic churches) as the subordinate agents to achieve a recognition of their faith from Batak Toba communities who accepted Ulos and cultural practices as the symbolic capital and the cultural identity in the field of Christianity.

The construction of identity is produced by the existence of the power field and the occurrence of symbolic capital amongst social agents.]]>
