Abstract

The world has changed so much. The changing of the world has affected all dimensions of human life. It has brought about a change in the role of religious institutions. Moreover, people from different cultures, religions, denominations, and spiritualities come together and share the same land, air, and social life. However, the Good News still has to be spread and shared. Diane M. Millis, the founder of Journey Conversation Project, believes that conversation involves verbal and non-verbal messages. She senses another dimension in human conversation, which is Divine Presence. In this sense, daily encounters can be a means of spiritual conversation. This research will apply qualitative research. The target population of this research is Catholic lay people who are involved in the New Evangelisation movement and pastoral ministry. The findings are as follows: First, creating or capturing a ‘generative theme’. It is important in conversation to reach a generative theme. Second, engaging with people’s lives. This step includes questioning, listening, and responding. Third, sharing Christian faith, the experience of faith. This is a crucial moment in which evangelizers must discern whether or not they will convert the conversation into sharing or providing the interlocutor with knowledge of belief or Christian values. Fourth, giving an authentic affirmation. Fifth, praying. The evangelizers can invite those with whom they have conversations to pray.

Abstract

Young people are often vulnerable to radicalism that spreads through social media. This study uses library research to explore Lewis A. Coser's Conflict Theory and how radicalism impacts young people online. This study seeks to understand the adverse impact of radicalism on young people and offer strategies to overcome its negative influence. The method used is a literature analysis to understand the relationship between radicalism and social media. The aim is to identify ways to avoid the spread of radicalism among young people and to propose preventive measures. Young people have an important role to play in countering radicalism. Some of the steps that can be taken include improving digital literacy so that they can filter the information they receive, promoting understanding of global issues to prevent extremism, and practicing the principles of Pancasila, particularly Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, to strengthen their sense of nationalism and diversity. This research underscores the importance of the media's contribution to providing positive information that helps steer young people away from radicalism. In addition, this research shows that preventive action from young people is crucial in maintaining unity and preventing social conflicts that may arise due to radicalism. Hopefully, the younger generation can become effective agents of change in keeping Indonesia plural and multicultural.

Abstract

This literature review explores the transformative integration of technology in faith formation, particularly in catechesis. The shift toward digital platforms prompts a reevaluation of engaging modern learners. This article uncovers technology's advantages and challenges in catechetical contexts by assessing existing literature. Technology enables novel approaches to religious instruction, enhancing learner engagement and comprehension. Interactive tools, online resources, and multimedia enrich accessibility. However, concerns encompass potential superficiality, disruption, and traditional value retention. A balanced method emerges through synthesis, combining proven pedagogies with suitable technology for optimal outcomes. The review highlights the significance of a discerning and empathetic integration of technology in catechesis, fostering genuine spiritual growth within today's technology-immersed generation.

Abstract

Karo people believe in the existence of Dibata Kaci-kaci (“God”). The understanding and belief about Dibata is obtained through life experiences, natural phenomena, and events experienced. The orientation of this research is to find the transformation of belief in Dibata as the concept of God for Karo Catholics. The research method used is qualitative, with interview techniques based on experiences derived from oral traditions, group discussion forums, and documentation. Research informants: five traditional leaders, two Karo culturalists, two priests, and five pastoral councils of parishes and stations. This research uses Rudolf Otto's (1917) theory of religious phenomenology to understand the experience and understanding of the sacred or numinous. This theory helps explain how Karo people experience and understand God's presence through natural phenomena and life events. The findings of this study are in line with previous research by Singarimbun (1975) and Ginting (2018), which also examined the concept of God in Karo beliefs. However, this study provides a new perspective by exploring the transformation of the concept in the context of Karo Catholics. The novelty of this research lies in finding the intersection between the experience and understanding of God in the beliefs of the Karo people and the concept of the Trinity in the teachings of the Catholic Church. The results show that the Karo people recognize, acknowledge, and believe in the existence of a God who is both transcendent and immanent, namely Dibata Datas (God Above), Dibata Tengah (God Middle), and Dibata Teruh (God Below). The experience and understanding of God in the Karo people's beliefs find common ground, thus becoming an opportunity for evangelization. The concept of the Karo God as a God with three persons (Dibata si Telu Sada) reveals the Karo belief that Dibata is present in all realities: the upper world, the middle world, and the lower world. For example, Karo: Mula jadi (creator, origin), Dibata Kaci kaci (loving God), Nini (grandfather). This finding is a new idea that can be used as catechetical material about the Trinity that the Catholic Church believes in.

Abstract

Technology has expanded access to information and made political participation easier for people. However, technology also has the potential to exacerbate political problems, depending on how it is used and regulated. Solutions to political and technological problems depend on actions taken by governments, the technology industry, and society, including the wise use of technology and ensuring it does not harm human rights. Everyone should be a continuous learner, a wise user, and advocate for digital rights and participation in technology politics. Inclusion, transparency, and responsibility should be the foundation of technology politics, so that technology can help address various political and social issues today. However, the use of technology must be based on inclusive, fair, and responsible principles, and consider its impact on society and the environment. This research was conducted using the method of book analysis from several authors who wrote about politics and Society 5.0. This paper also provides an overview of what Society 5.0 is, how it differs from previous eras, and how it affects politics and society. Technology can be a solution for current political development, but only if used wisely and supported by appropriate policies and regulations.

Abstract

The focus of this research examines technology as a means of human liberation from the perspective of Herbert Marcuse. This research aims to investigate and look at new technology, namely technology that leads to the goal of complete human development. The development of human dignity is the goal of technology because technology is a means of human liberation to achieve its fullness. Technology is not a means of domination in various areas of life. Researchers used descriptive qualitative methods and critical reading of texts. Based on critical reading of the text, the researcher analyzes and combines materials related to Herbert Marcuse's views on One Dimensional Man. The findings in this research are that Marcuse does not reject technology because of the close relationship between technology and human development. Although it cannot be denied that industrial society, with its technology, oppresses humans, it does not invite humans to return to the pre-industrial or pre-technical era. Instead, it continues to turn to the liberating capabilities of technology and industrialization.

Abstract

Death is a universal experience that brings profound grief to the surrounding family and community. While the journey of grieving is deeply personal—shaped by each individual’s unique relationship with the deceased—cultural factors play a significant role in how humans derive meaning from death and navigate the accompanying grief. In a context in which culture and Catholicism are interwoven, like the case in the Javanese Catholic community, it is not uncommon that there would arise questions on meaning and confusion on the rites associated with death. This research discusses the resonance and dissonance between the slametan arwah rite in Javanese culture and the rite to commemorate the deceased in the Eucharistic celebration. Utilizing the framework of 'mode of sign production' by Umberto Eco, this study shows that slametan arwah rituals share some similarities with the Eucharist: in them, the centrality of communion expressed and strengthened through prayer and shared meals, the remembrance of the deceased as a way of maintaining harmony between the deceased with the living, and the ceremonial structure both practices hold. However, the critical point to observe is that there are distinctions between them in their perspectives on salvation, the presence of death remembrance is not central within the Eucharist, and an understanding of Christ's sacrificial offering in the Eucharist. This study is organized into four sections based on Umberto Eco's Semiotics of Signs: Recognition, Ostentation, Replica, and Invention. Before these analyses, an overview of the slametan arwah rite within the Javanese worldview will be provided. Through these discussions, the study aims to help Catholic Javanese deepen their understanding of both practices to prevent theological confusion. It also aims to contribute to the vision of inculturation advocated by Vatican II, fostering a richer integration of local customs with church theology.

Abstract

The post-pandemic period is full of challenges for urban churches in Surabaya. While having to survive, he must also continue interpreting his presence as an extension of the mission of the Kingdom of God. Rumah Singgah is a manifestation of GKI Pregolan Bunder's participatory-transformative diakonia mission as an ecclesiological response to the urban context in Central Surabaya. This mission is based on the redemptive work of Christ. It runs on an intersubjective path where all parties are subjects who continue to actively participate in transforming life for the sake of shared well-being. Through this qualitative phenomenological research, the researcher wants to propose an intersubjective approach as a new alternative to the urban mission in Surabaya, especially in the new post-pandemic era. Researchers conducted interviews based on Ricouer's scheme regarding life events in Rumah Singgah. The results found that intersubjective relations are relevant for building interactive and dialogical encounters between the church and surrounding communities.
