Abstract

In an era marked by modernization, traditional rituals are often dismissed as obsolete or merely symbolic remnants of the past. This study challenges such assumptions by exploring Bersih Desa, a Javanese communal cleansing ritual, as a site of implicit eschatological expression. Far from being a purely cultural celebration, Bersih Desa embodies the community’s deeply held hopes for spiritual continuity and post-mortem well-being. Through an ethnographic study conducted in Sumberandong hamlet, Sumberoto village in South Malang, this research investigates how local conceptions of the afterlife are embedded within ritual practices and communal narratives. Drawing on in-depth interviews with ritual leaders and participants, and employing Creswell’s qualitative analysis framework, the findings reveal a rich interplay between indigenous spiritual cosmologies and formal religious teachings. This syncretic understanding sustains the ritual’s vitality, functioning as a localized eschatology bridging tradition and transcendence. The study contributes to contextual theology and anthropology of religion, offering insight into how rituals like Bersih Desa articulate the hopes and horizons of a living tradition.

Abstract

The Second Vatican Council is an opportunity for the Catholic church in fostering a new perspective on looking at her presence both among the Catholic adherents and society in general. The Post-conciliar Catholic Church lives with particular social approach with two invitations at the same time: the invitation for the participation of a bigger number of Catholics in pastoral works belongs of the Church; and the encouragement for collaboration either among the Catholics or with those from other Churches or different religions. Along with the exploration toward documents that related to interreligious dialogue, this study contributes in looking at the new ecclesiology. The Post-conciliar Catholic Church is no longer a community that looking at herself as the one above society, but rather as the one among the others. In the light of Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of field, capital and habitus, this study concludes this new ecclesiology, both in the global and Indonesian local context, is accompanying the Church to be a community that fostering internal participation and elaborating external collaboration.

Abstract

This article aims to explores the theological dimensions embedded in Basar, a traditional ceremonial song of the Kei people in Southeast Maluku, particularly in its interaction with the Catholic faith. Using Robert J. Schreiter’s cultural semiotic method, comprising sign (melody), rule (ritual context), and message (life themes), this study reveals that Basar carries messages of reverence and gratitude rooted in the Larvul Ngabal customary law. These messages reflect a religious-spiritual worldview in which reverence for community leaders is understood as reverence for Christ (Christological dimension), and gratitude to Duad—the local term for God—is reinterpreted as gratitude to the Triune God (Trinitarian dimension). Thus, Basar functions not merely as a cultural artifact but as a theological resource capable of liturgical inculturation and contextual theological reflection within the Kei Catholic community.

Abstract

The belis tradition in Wolosambi society is a cultural institution affirming solidarity, reciprocity, and women’s dignity. Historically, it strengthened family bonds and honored women as the center of social life. Yet, contemporary pressures have shifted its meaning toward materialism, creating risks of commodification and reinforcing patriarchy. This study applies a qualitative-descriptive approach with cultural hermeneutics to explore the symbolic values of belis, its effects on women’s dignity, and its theological significance. The study was conducted in Wolosambi, Flores, Indonesia. Findings highlight its dual character: while affirming women’s vital role, it may also reduce them to economic objects. Through Catholic theological reflection, especially Mulieris Dignitatem and inculturation principles, this article proposes a reinterpretation of belis that preserves cultural identity while promoting justice, gender equality, and human dignity. The study contributes theoretically to contextual theology by articulating belis as a culturally embedded locus of moral meaning, and practically by offering pastoral and inculturation-oriented guidelines for safeguarding women’s dignity within local marriage practices.
