Abstract

Forest conservation has become an increasingly urgent ecological concern and is often discussed within normative theological frameworks. However, limited research has examined how forest communities interpret and relate to the forest. This article analyzes how forest communities construct meanings and relational practices toward the forest within a community-based ecotheological framework. This study employs a qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews, observation, and document analysis among members of the forest community in Teluk Kepayang Village, South Kalimantan. Data were analyzed thematically through data condensation, categorization, and interpretation. The findings indicate that forest communities perceive the forest as a living space, a source of livelihood, and a sacred space. This collective ecological awareness aligns with creation theology and integral ecology, emphasizing the interconnectedness between humans and creation. However, this awareness is in tension with economic pressures and weak institutional support, preventing it from developing into stable and sustainable collective practices. Conceptually, this article expands community-based ecotheology by arguing that the formation of ecological subjects depends not only on faith-based awareness but also on strengthened social and economic structures, sustained community accompaniment, and cross-sector collaboration. This study contributes to contextual Catholic ecotheology in Indonesia by engaging in dialogical exchange with the lived realities of forest communities.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the Church's strategy for developing a Pentecostal spirituality and Divine Healing experience for Generation Alpha, based on the Book of Acts. Raised entirely in a digital ecosystem, this generation strongly desires to feel and experience the truth of the Word made real in their lives. The church must create new ministry platforms, especially in virtual spaces, to teach and provide understanding of true Pentecostal spirituality and Divine Healing. The research employed a qualitative approach using textual analysis methods. The results highlight the church's contextual approach, translating its message verbally and digitally (Acts 2:7-11); a relational approach, building a healing and empowering community (Acts 2:44, 46); adaptation to technology, using social media for mission and healing ministry (Acts 5:12-16); and providing space for Generation Alpha's spiritual growth (Acts 19:13-20). The Church must focus on the Word to maximise the practical experience of the Holy Spirit and Divine Healing for Generation Alpha.

Abstract

This study explores the leadership concepts demonstrated by Nehemiah in the context of the restoration of Jerusalem's walls. The primary focus is on the managerial strategies adopted by Nehemiah and how these principles can be applied in modern management contexts. By highlighting communication skills, decision-making, and collaboration, this article aims to provide new insights for business and organizational leaders. The methodology employed includes hermeneutic analysis and literature review, analyzing Nehemiah's leadership through scriptural texts and historical contexts. The findings reveal that Nehemiah's strategic approach to leadership can significantly enhance contemporary management practices. The novelty of this research lies in its application of ancient biblical principles to modern organizational challenges, offering a unique perspective on effective leadership.

Abstract

This study examines the ethical dilemma in church pastoral ministry toward cohabitation without formal marriage, highlighting the gap between the normative affirmation of marriage as a covenant and the need for contextual pastoral accompaniment. Previous studies have tended to assess cohabitation from moral or sociological perspectives but have not articulated an integrative pastoral response model. This qualitative case study involved purposively selected participants (pastors, church elders, and cohabiting couples). Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, limited observation, and literature review, and analyzed using thematic coding. An Aristotelian virtue ethics framework was synthetically integrated with Franz Magnis-Suseno’s ethics of responsibility and enriched by a deontological perspective from Immanuel Kant, particularly concerning moral duty and the categorical imperative as a universal norm. This deontological lens sharpens the analysis of moral obligation, public commitment, and respect for human dignity within relational structures. Findings indicate that cohabitation is primarily driven by economic pressures and customary demands rather than theological rejection, and that churches adopt a moderative strategy: liturgical inclusion combined with structural restrictions. The study contributes to the formulation of a gradual pastoral model that upholds doctrinal integrity while fostering relational transformation.

Abstract

When disease begins to infect the entire body of a Christian, Christians try various ways to restore and heal their body to health again, but human methods are limited, the disease remains in the human body, so that severe self-doubt makes people feel very hopeless in living life and looking to their future, as if there is no more hope for recovery and returning to a healthy life. Therefore, the current research aims to inform when medical treatment does not change the human body to be healed, so that spiritual treatment appears to be able to provide peace and guarantee of healing as long as the person fully believes in the Healing Power of God by having faith as big as a mustard seed, then total Divine Healing can occur in the human body. This qualitative research shows the role and implications of Christian belief and having faith as big as a mustard seed, the power of prayer, the power of praise and worship, in total healing of all illnesses. A person's disbelief that their illness will be healed when someone believes that by paying attention to a healthy lifestyle, diligently controlling their health regularly and placing true trust in hope in God as Jenovah Rapha and eternal salvation for Christians. The discussion in the research now explains that as long as Christians believe in the power of healing, singing and psalming to God will awaken faith the size of a mustard seed in Christians for total divine healing for all their illnesses, finally it can be concluded that total healing for all human illnesses, especially Christians, is by strengthening the Christian's faith from having no hope to having faith the size of a mustard seed, having hope for complete recovery and having hope again in the future for the glory of God.

Abstract

This study analyzes social project-based Christian Religious Education in fostering students’ empathy and interreligious care. It employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, activity documentation, and students’ written reflections, then analyzed thematically through reduction, categorization, interpretation, and triangulation. The findings show that social projects shift Christian Religious Education from informative instruction toward active, collaborative, reflective, and contextual learning. Direct encounters with interreligious communities develop students’ cognitive, affective, and practical empathy. Theological reflection helps students interpret Christian love as social action that respects human dignity. This model is relevant for Christian education in plural societies because it strengthens faith identity while promoting cooperation, tolerance, and solidarity among diverse religious communities.

Abstract

This study examines mental health as an urgent field of theological, pastoral, and educational reflection within contemporary Christian faith. In response to the growing global mental health crisis, this study argues that mental suffering should not be reduced merely to a medical disorder or a weakness of faith, but should be understood as an existential and theological experience that touches human relationships with the self, others, community, and God. This study aims to formulate a holistic framework for understanding mental health from a Christian perspective through the integration of biblical studies, theology of suffering, pastoral ministry, and Christian education. This research employs a qualitative approach using literature study and interdisciplinary theological analysis. The findings indicate that biblical narratives provide space for human experiences of fragility, lament, trauma, and despair, while also revealing a pattern of divine accompaniment that is empathetic, relational, and gradual. These findings encourage the transformation of the church’s pastoral paradigm from normative and stigmatizing approaches toward hospitality, trauma-informed care, mental health literacy, and collaboration with professional caregivers. Furthermore, Christian education plays a strategic role in shaping the mental and spiritual resilience of younger generations through a reflective, contextual, and psychosocially sensitive curriculum. Therefore, churches and Christian educational institutions need to develop an integrative and compassionate ecosystem of healing rooted in the hope of faith.

Abstract

This article examines the place of sociology of religion within theological reflection. It argues that theology cannot speak responsibly about church, mission, spirituality, and public witness without attending to the social locations, symbolic systems, power relations, and everyday practices through which religion is lived. Sociology of religion does not replace theology's normative claims about God, revelation, and salvation; rather, it clarifies the social conditions under which such claims are received, institutionalized, contested, and embodied. Using a qualitative literature-study method and interdisciplinary theological analysis, this study engages classical and contemporary theories from Durkheim, Weber, Berger, Bourdieu, Geertz, Casanova, Davie, McGuire, Taylor, and practical theologians such as Schreiter, Bevans, Tanner, Swinton, Mowat, Osmer, Graham, Bosch, and Volf. The findings show that sociology of religion offers at least five contributions to theology: it exposes the social construction of religious meaning; it helps theology discern the relation between faith, institution, and power; it sharpens contextual and public theology; it corrects abstract ecclesiology by attending to lived religion; and it strengthens pastoral, missional, and educational practices. The article concludes that an integrative model is needed: sociology describes how religion functions in society, while theology evaluates those functions in light of Scripture, tradition, and the vocation of the church.
