<![CDATA[During the Covid-19 pandemic, teachers in every school use online media such as using the ZOOM application, Google Meet, and Google Classroom to carry out the teaching and learning process. Pusaka Abadi Elementary School teachers, Teluk Gong, North Jakarta during the Covid 19 pandemic often used conventional models, but the results turned out to be less effective, this is because the online conventional model has many problems that students and teachers must face, namely: an unstable network. so that students can only hear little by little and in the end draw the wrong conclusions or become less than optimal, turn off the camera during teaching and learning so that it makes it difficult for teachers to monitor students whether the students are listening or while playing games or recreation as a result, making students' creative thinking skills decrease and results decreased student learning. The results of the research on the initial conditions showed that the material presented during the teaching and learning process in the school was about 50% of the children who caught the material. Then the researchers applied two cycles, namely cycle I and cycle II. The results of the first cycle by applying the discovery learning model showed the level of achievement increased to 85% from the initial conditions. Continued to apply cycle II and the results reached 100%. AbstrakMasa pandemi covid-19 mengharuskan guru-guru di setiap sekolah mengunakan media online seperti aplikasi Zoom Meeting, Google Meet dan Google Classrom untuk melakukan proses belajar mengajar. Perubahan media belajar dari ceramah ke tatap maya seharusnya diikuti dengan model belajar yang tepat. Fakta sebaliknya terjadi di Sekolah Dasar Pusaka Abadi, Teluk Gong, Jakarta Utara. Proses belajar mengajar yang dilaksanakan masih mengunakan model belajar konvensional. Hal ini menyebabkan hasil belajar kurang efektif. Model belajar konvensional yang dilakukan dengan media online menimbulkan masalah yang harus siswa dan guru hadapi yaitu, jaringan yang kurang stabil sehingga siswa tidak dapat mendengarkan dengan baik sehingga ketika menarik kesimpulan, hasilnya kurang maksimal. Permasalahan ini menyebabkan daya berpikir kreatif siswa menurun. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian tindakan kelas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada kondisi awal materi yang di sampaikan pada saat proses belajar mengajar di dalam sekolah sekitar 50% anak yang menangkap materi. Kemudian peneliti menerapkan dua siklus yakni siklus I dan siklus II. Hasil siklus I dengan menerapkan model pembelajaran discovery learning menunjukkan tingkat ketercapaian meningkat menjadi 85% dari kondisi awal. Dilanjutkan menerapkan siklus II dan hasilnya mencapai 100%.]]>

<![CDATA[This paper is the result of a Christology of Disability studies on the understanding of Jesus according to the Brothers and Sisters living with HIV-AIDS (BROSLIH) at the Victory Plus Foundation, Yogyakarta. BROSLIH found a new perspective and meaning about the Image of Jesus Christ. Issues regarding stigma, discrimination, violence, and even loss of self-esteem brought BROSLIH out of the construction of a perfect understanding of Jesus. There are three main findings that will be put forward in this paper: First, Jesus is in solidarity with the lowly creation, through His Spirit in the lament of human suffering who prays to God in complex life situations. Second, BROSLIH who accepts rejection and various social injustices find the meaning of Jesus as the One who brings justice to those who are marginalized. Third: Jesus who is present in the souls of people who are broken and injured, is the meaning of the figure of Jesus who is present in BROSLIH's life and is depressed because of rejection from parents. AbstrakArtikel ini merupakan hasil dari kajian Kristologi Disabilitas terhadap pemahaman tentang Yesus menurut Brother and Sister living with HIV-AIDS (BROSLIH) di Yayasan Victory Plus Yogyakarta. BROSLIH menemukan cara pandang serta pemaknaan yang baru mengenai Citra Yesus Kristus. Persoalan mengenai stigma, diskriminasi, kekerasan bahkan hilangnya penghargaan diri membawa BROSLIH keluar dari konstruksi pemahaman mengenai Yesus yang sempurna. Terdapat tiga temuan utama yang akan dikedepankan dalam tulisan ini: Pertama, Yesus yang bersolidaritas kepada ciptaan yang hina, melalui Roh-Nya dalam ratapan penderitaan manusia yang berdoa kepada Allah dalam situasi kehidupan yang kompleks. Kedua, BROSLIH yang menerima penolakan serta berbagai ketidakadilan sosial menemukan makna Yesus sebagai Dia yang mendatangkan keadilan bagi mereka yang termarginalisasi. Ketiga: Yesus yang hadir dalam jiwa orang-orang yang hancur dan terluka, adalah pemaknaan terhadap sosok Yesus yang hadir dalam kehidupan BROSLIH yang mengalami depresi karena mendapat penolakan dari orang tua.]]>

<![CDATA[Doing theology is a means that can bring people to understand more about every teaching in religion so that what is understood can encourage people to apply it in everyday life. Theological ideas and views have developed very dynamically, resulting in many emerging views that are diverse, even contradicting one another. The problem that arises is when theology is not based on an attitude of respect and respect for the different views of each group, class, theological tradition, and even religion. This research is a Christian view and attitude in moderate theology in the context of Indonesian diversity. In this study, the method used is descriptive qualitative with an approach to an understanding and understanding of the importance of good theology and which does not tend to be extreme towards a particular religious group. Moderate theology within the scope of religions will be able to confront two different views and ideas by prioritizing the values of diversity as a glue to build humanist religious moderation. AbstrakBerteologi merupakan sarana yang dapat membawa manusia agar semakin memahami setiap ajaran dalam agama, sehingga apa yang dipahami dapat mendorong manusia menerapkannya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Gagasan serta pandangan teologi mengalami perkembangan yang sangat dinamis, sehingga banyak bermunculan pandangan yang beragam, bahkan bertentangan satu dengan yang lain. Masalah yang timbul adalah ketika berteologi tidak didasari pada sikap menghargai dan menghormati perbedaan pandangan dari setiap kelompok, golongan, tradisi teologi, bahkan agama. Penelitian ini merupakan pandangan dan sikap Kekristenan dalam berteologi secara moderat dalam konteks kebhinnekaan Indonesia. Dalam penelitian ini, metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan terhadap suatu pengertian dan pemahaman akan pentingnya berteologi yang baik dan yang tidak cenderung bersikap ekstrim kepada suatu kelompok agama tertentu. Berteologi secara moderat dalam lingkup agama-agama akan mampu untuk mengonfrontasikan dua pandangan serta gagasan yang berbeda dengan mengedepankan nilai-nilai kebhinnekaan sebagai suatu perekat guna membangun moderasi beragama yang humanis.]]>

<![CDATA[The early church demonstrated a model of life that could endure suffering together, and this model has continued to be lived throughout the ages. Along the way, it is not uncommon for the very diverse backgrounds of members in the church to result in clashes and disputes to conflict, whereas the core of Christ's teachings is about loving and igniting brotherly love. This article aims to show the importance of social interaction in realizing brotherly love among congregation members and how to manifest it. A descriptive analysis method based on a literature review shows that brotherly love among church members reflects the spirituality of Christian friendship and solidarity. To realize this, social interaction that reflects Christian hospitality is needed among the church members. Abstrak Gereja mula-mula memperlihatkan sebuah model kehidupan yang dapat menanggung penderitaan secara bersama-sama; dan model ini terus dihidupi sepanjang zaman. Dalam perjalanannya, tidak jarang latar belakang anggota yang sangat majemuk di dalam gereja mengakibatkan benturan dan perselisihan hingga konflik; padahal inti dari ajaran Kristus adalah tentang mengasihi dan mengobarkan kasih persaudaraan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menunjukkan pentingnya interaksi sosial yang dapat mewujudkan kasih persaudaraan di antara anggota jemaat, dan bagaimana mengejawantahnya. Dengan menggunakan metode analisis deksriptif yang berbasis kajian literatur diperlihatkan bahwa kasih persaudaraan di antara anggota gereja merefleksikan spiritualitas persahabatan dan solidaritas kristiani. Untuk mewujudkannya dibutuhkan interaksi sosial yang merefleksikan hospitalitas kristiani di antara anggota jemaat.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the pluralistic principle in Christian religious education in the postmodern era. This research process uses descriptive social qualitative methods. Namely, researchers use descriptive data, explain, and analyze phenomena, and interpret social dynamics and attitudes of beliefs that develop in society in the framework of educational analysis. The study results indicate that essentially education is life and/or life is education. Based on this principle, the goal of education is to humanize humans, namely, to consistently manage harmonious relationships with Allah, the Owner of their lives, others, and their environment. This research finds common ground and, at the same time, produces an inclusive education formulation that sees the others in the frame of plurality or plurality who are entitled to enjoy the freedom of expression in the light of the will of the Divine. This concept must be present in the life of postmodern society. AbstrakTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji prinsip pluralistik dalam Pendidikan agama Kristen di era postmodern. Proses penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif sosial deskriptif, yakni peneliti memanfaatkan data deskriptif, menjelaskan dan menganalisis fenomena, menginterpretasi dinamika sosial dan sikap kepercayaan yang berkembang di masyarakat dalam bingkai analisis pendidikan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada hakikatnya pendidikan adalah kehidupan dan/atau kehidupan adalah pendidikan. Didasari dengan prinsip tersebut maka tujuan ultim pendidikan adalah memanusiakan manusia secara utuh, yakni secara konsisten mengelola relasi harmoni dengan Allah-Sang Pemilik hidupnya, sesama dan lingkungannya. Penelitian ini menemukan titik temu dan sekaligus menghasilkan rumusan pendidikan inklusif yang melihat the others dalam bingkai kemajemukan atau pluralitas yang berhak menikmati kebebasan berekspresi dalam terang kehendak Sang Ilahi. Konsep ini harus disajikan dalam kehidupan masyarakat postmodern.]]>

<![CDATA[Flexing becomes a phenomenon that threatens the morality of the younger generation of Christians in this disruption era. The question that then arises is, this is just a common phenomenon, or is it the form of failure of Christian parents to shape the child's personality? In Christian education in the family sphere, learning is emphasized on developing the potential of spiritual intelli-gence (psychiatric or spiritual and inner). The family is the right place for the growth of awareness of the beginning of the purpose and existence of life. It is the responsibility of the family to ensure that a child develops and grows into a good adult human being and can take care of himself, and not depend on others. The formation of personality at an early age is something that must be fulfilled and cannot be delayed. It is said that approximately 85% of basic human personalities are formed at the age of 0-6 years, and the rest are just polishing. This study aims to prove how much influence character cultivation by parents has on the potential flexing in children. The approach used in this study is quantitative, with a sample of 100 children. The results of data collection are analyzed using simple linear regression with the help of SPSS 23.0. The results of the study proved that the cultivation of personality by parents affected the flexing potential of children by 69%, while 31% was influenced by other factors. Further findings in this study, the formation of behavior in a planned, systematic, and targeted manner was shown to be able to reduce the potential for flexing by 73% in children. As a contribution to this study, it is recommended to parents instill humility, meek, patience, love, and peace in children from an early age. This has been shown to be able to ward off flexing which is a negative effect of the disruption era.]]>

<![CDATA[Some biblical scholars understand Deuteronomy to be the end of the Pentateuch. Before the nation of Israel became a confederate system, the socio-political reality could usually be seen in the composition, interaction, and behavior of relationships in society, which were assumed to be political elements. The Israeli confederation which is like the ambition centered on Yahweh is what the author refers to as Israel's "Qahal". Martin Noth explains Qahal Israel in Deuteronomist Historical Works, which began with a period of wandering under the leadership of Musa, then became an immigrant in the Land of Canaan, followed by Saul's leadership where Israel asked the king to directly lead the Israelites. In the leadership of David and Solomon, which originally had 12 tribes, eventually split into two nations. With this monarchical system, God hates, because he does not reject God as the government in their life. The purpose of this study was to find the location of the Deuteronomy and Eating Qahal books in the book of laws. The research method uses critical research with a study of literature and ideological sources using Martin Noth's theory which is an early thesis in Deuteronomic History Works. The novelty of this research is the existence of a new meaning where the main message of Deuteronomic history works, namely Israel is forced to turn to God, confess His sins, and return to submit and obey His word because they have been chosen to be God's people (2 Ki 17:13).]]>

<![CDATA[In the Old Testament, the metaphor of the "desert" is quite central in the spiritual image of God's people. In the ancient world, the reality of the wilderness was a pivotal point in Israel's encounter with God. Associated with the life of the church today, the reality of postmodernism becomes a new challenge that causes distortion and fragmentation between orthodoxy, orthopathy, and orthopraxy in church life. This essay aims to examine how desert spirituality can be integrated into the contemporary Christian life. This study uses a qualitative approach with socio-theological analysis. The results of this study are expected to develop a critical awareness of the church about the complex social meaning of desert spirituality practices that can be integrated into postmodern social reality as a transformational practice of personal life, service, and society. AbstrakDalam Perjanjian Lama metafora “padang Gurun” cukup sentral dalam imajinasi spiritualitas umat Allah. Di dunia kuno realitas padang gurun merupakan titik penting perjumpaan Israel dengan Allah. Dikaitkan dengan kehidupan gereja di masa kini, realitas postmodernisme menjadi tantangan baru yang menimbulkan distorsi dan fragmentasi antara ortodoksi, ortopati dan ortopraksis dalam kehidupan menggereja. Esai ini bertujuan mengkaji bagaimana spiritualitas padang gurun dapat diintegrasikan ke dalam kehidupan kekristenan kontemporer. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan analisis sosio-teologis. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat mengembangkan kesadaran kritis gereja tentang makna sosial yang kompleks dari praktik spiritualitas padang gurun yang dapat diintegrasikan dalam realitas sosial postmodern sebagai praktik transformasional kehidupan pribadi, pelayanan dan masyarakat.]]>
