Abstract

This study explores the integration of the philosophy of worship within Christian religious education in the church, emphasizing its role as a holistic expression of missional service in urban communities. The primary objective is to demonstrate that worship philosophy—when aligned with mission-oriented and pastorally focused teaching—embodies a comprehensive devotion of believers to God. This devotion is expressed through both worship and acts of service that exemplify Christian values, particularly within the complexities of urban life. Drawing on qualitative analysis of various literature sources, the study investigates how mission-oriented pastoral practices have been implemented in urban contexts, where congregational engagement is often hindered by fast-paced lifestyles and spiritual apathy. Despite these challenges, the research finds that many individuals have been effectively encouraged to re-engage with church life through intentional, spiritually grounded approaches that affirm God as the ultimate source of meaning and direction. The findings highlight that contextually sensitive mission services—especially those that are responsive and pastoral in nature—function as redemptive teaching tools. These approaches reawaken inactive congregants and foster renewed commitment to corporate worship. The study concludes that strategic pastoral outreach and mission care in urban settings can effectively revitalize worship participation and empower believers to live faith-filled, victorious lives

Abstract

Each tribe has its own perspective on divinity or the supreme being. Therefore, the procedures for establishing a relationship with the supreme being also differ. Long before Catholicism was introduced by missionaries to the archipelago, traditional communities had unique procedures for establishing a relationship with the supreme being. The method used in this study is the literature method. The author studied library literature and linked it to the traditional practices of the Oenames tribe. The purpose of this study was to examine in greater depth the Oenames tribe's understanding of hau monef as a symbol of patriarchal religiosity. The results of the study show that members of the Oenames tribe believe that hau monef is a symbol of the presence of the Supreme Being through their ancestors. Therefore, whenever tribe members ask for blessings or permission from their ancestors, a ritual is always performed on hau monef. This shows that there is an unbroken relationship between the ancestors and the living members of the tribe.  In conclusion, the Oenames tribe has a strong vertical paradigm of the supreme being, which is represented by the symbol of hau monef. Hau monef is a place for prayers and for giving thanks for all the blessings received by tribe members. Hau monef is not just a ritual artefact but a symbol of the presence of the Supreme Being, which Oenames tribe members believe has an impact on their safety and livelihood.

Abstract

Indonesia is experiencing environmental degradation across multiple sectors. This degradation is driven by economic pressures and intensified by an anthropocentric paradigm that places humans at the center of creation. Such a paradigm weakens the spiritual relationship between humans and the natural world. Mitigation efforts often prove ineffective because they overlook local cultural values that sustain ecological balance. This article examines the concept of Ata Long in Manggarai culture as a source of ecological wisdom. The study employs an ethnographic method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and field observations. Informants were selected using purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using a contextual theological approach, which integrates Catholic teaching with the local Manggarai cosmology. The findings show that Ata Long views humans as “guests on earth.” This concept affirms a reciprocal relationship between humans and other creatures. It also rejects human domination over nature. The study further reveals that human well-being is directly linked to environmental sustainability. The ecological-theological values embedded in Ata Long enrich Catholic ecotheology through a relational and inclusive perspective. In conclusion, Ata Long offers a locally rooted theological model that is relevant for addressing environmental crises in Indonesia.
