The spread of Christianity in Minahasa began in 16th Century by Spanish missions. In the middle of the 17th Century the activities of the Catholic Church stopped due to political changes at the arrival of the Dutch. Dutch VOC preachers spread Protestatism which had been taken over in1831 by Nederlandse Zendings Genootschap (NZG). They trained young people to become assistants who used Malay and later on the local language. When the area of activities become more extensive, NZG felt that the financial burden was too high so that in 1975 the activities were taken over by the Indische Kerk. At that time the largest church in Minahasa was built, and schools for women and secondary school (MULO) were established The GMIM (gereja masehi Injil Minahasa) was founded in 1934.

This article is concerned with social change and cultural transformation in Minahasa in the 19th century. These changes happened because of the introduction of new cultural traits from outside Minahasa by the Dutch, Moslem traders, Christian evangelist, etc. the author claims that agricultural transformation is the main modality of the changes. The domestication of plants, i.e. rice and coffee, introduces by the Dutch East Indies Company (VOC)became important commodities that were made in order to secure sufficient rice supply for their soldiers in the Moluccas. In the 1850s coffee became the main cash crop for Dutch trading through Culture System, which forced the Minahasans to expand their lands and planted it with coffee. The second part of 19th century marked the institutionalization of Christianity, the fusion of districts which formerly were the traditional political units, the bureaucratization of (traditional) local government with the appointment of civil servants, and the introduction of formal education.

The people of Minahasa appeared to have always been responsive to market signals. Geertz's view of a dynamic expansion of the economy in outer island of Indonesian seems applicable to Minahasa. The Minahasan people appear to have shifted rapidly from one crop to another, from one agricultural technology to another and the change can be explaine by the change of factors prices. The influence of market economy seems to have affected mapalus, which is a traditional means to achieve social integration that seems to have been gradually and rapidly disappearing. It still possesses the name and the value, but has not longer been a common phenomenon of social integration to tackle various economic activities and problems. Most benefits previously provided through mapalus appear to have become available at cheaper process through the market. Very recently, an attempt to revive mapalus as a form of not only social but also economic integration has been made. It however remains an open question whether such attempts would be successful.

The author explains how social change occurred in Minahasa due to education. Traditional education in Minahasa was strongly influenced by traditional belief (malesung) in which the teachers were adat leaders called walian. The impacts of Western education were felt with the arrival of the Spanish and Portuguese in the 16th century. In the middle of the 17th century both of them were expelled by the Dutch. VOC and NZG intensively disseminated Protestantism with the founding of schools for teachers, assistant preachers, and elementary schools. Those schools resulted into the decline of agricultural skills and handicraft of the youth which had been the primary way of earning a livelihood. They tend to look for work outside their villages. After independence, education grew rapidly with the increase of the number of schools. However, the awareness of the importance of education in some rural areas was not accompanied with the increase of social welfare.

The article is a preliminary study on the social impact of development in Minahasa. The authors try to identify, development problems as exhaustable as possible. The factors that have influenced the development in Minahasa are originated from the Minahasa community themselves and from government policies. The central government has exercised a strong influence on local condition. Local government which functions on behalf of the central government exhibit such characteristics a bureaucratic, hierarchic, and paternalistic. On the other hand, the Minahasa people are democratic and egalitarian in their social relationship. The difference between both value systems does not come into conflict, because the Minahasans channel their aspirations through the church and are able to make adjustment.

"...[...] Saya pikir konsep budaya (culture)tidak punya satu arti yang benar, dikeramatkan dan tak pernah habis kita coba temukan. Tetapi, seperti halnya simbol-simbol lain, konsep ini mempunyai makna saat kita memakainya; dan sebagaimana konsep-konsep analitik lainnya, pemakai konsep ini harus membentuk-mencoba sedikitnya setuju pada-pengelompokan gejala alam, (dimana) konsep ini dapat diberi label secara sangat strategis...[...] Apakah konsep tentang budaya akan direvisi secara cepat, diinterpretasikan secara radikal, atau hilang dengan cepat, dalam jangka panjang tidak begitu menjadi persoalan, selama konsep ini telah mendorong kita untuk menyelidiki pertanyaan-pertanyaan strategis dan untuk melihat hubungan-hubungan yang akan hilang."
