Abstract

Indonesia is a nation significantly rich in cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity. While this diversity is a source of strength, it also presents challenges in fostering social harmony. This study examines the implementation of the peacemaker concept in bridging differences in beliefs, based on Jesus' teachings in Matthew 5:9. Using a qualitative method with a literature review approach (library research), the research explores relevant websites, journals, and books to analyze the biblical meaning of "peacemakers" and how Christian educators can apply this principle in Indonesia’s religiously plural society. Findings indicate that being a peacemaker requires active engagement in fostering peace rather than merely living in passive harmony. Key implementation strategies include developing interfaith empathy, applying conflict mediation techniques rooted in Christian values, and adopting a collaborative approach to community service. This study concludes that Christian educators play a vital role as peacemakers, with a responsibility to bridge differences, facilitate interfaith dialogue, and promote tolerance and inclusivity within Indonesia’s diverse society.

Abstract

The Nigerian middle class has been the subject of extensive sociological inquiry, yet the intersection of religion, education, and social mobility within this group remains underexplored, particularly among Christian communities in Lagos State. This paper examines the historical and contemporary factors shaping the emergence and reproduction of the Nigerian Christian middle class. Drawing on existing studies, the analysis highlights the role of missionary education, familial strategies, and professional advancement in fostering upward mobility. The heterogeneity of Christian denominations, stratification within religious communities, and the role of gender and migration are explored to provide a nuanced understanding of how Nigerian Christians navigate social hierarchies. The study also identifies gaps in current research, emphasizing the need for focused empirical studies to unpack the complex interplay of religion, class, and education. Findings contribute to the broader discourse on the sociology of religion and middle-class identity formation in Nigeria.

Abstract

This study examines how fieldwork practice improves the professional competence of Christian Religious Education students. It evaluates the program to inform us of its next semester's development. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the study collected data through interviews with 11 mentor teachers and 52 randomly selected students of fieldwork practice. The data was analyzed using Atlas.ti, following the steps outlined by Miles and Huberman. The findings reveal that the students demonstrate teaching planning, implementation, and evaluation skills. They are also proficient in integrating technology and instructional media. Overall, the students effectively fulfilled their responsibilities and performed their roles and functions in the learning process well. They demonstrated satisfactory professional competence, including understanding and explaining course materials, classroom management, communication, feedback reception, ethics, and integrity. With some of the challenges of fieldwork practice, the faculty must improve the program preparations and implementation quality.

Abstract

Education is very important for the progress of a region and a nation. In Indonesia, particularly in Tana Toraja, education is still a trending topic, so the government has made it one of its main programs, marked by the construction of schools, facilities that are starting to improve, and educators who are becoming more skilled with more advanced and contextual educational concepts. However, this situation seems to justify parents' decision to entrust the entire responsibility of education to schools. The purpose of this study is to restore the primary role of Christian educators, namely parents, by analyzing the concept of education in the Tongkonan culture. This study was conducted using qualitative research with descriptive analysis of findings through literature review and interviews. The results of the study indicate that the concept of education in Tongkonan, based on the independent curriculum, can restore the natural role of educators in Christian families in Toraja. Parents act as teachers, communicators of norms, teachers of life values, and teachers of symbolic meanings, which are then elaborated in principles, processes, and practices in teaching.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country rich in ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity. One of its key challenges is fostering harmony among people of different faiths. In this context, religious moderation education for early childhood becomes critically important to prevent radicalization and to nurture a spirit of tolerance. This research aims to explore how the example of Jesus in Mark 10:13–16 can serve as a model for religious moderation educators in early childhood. The study uses biblical exegesis to interpret the meaning of the scripture, as well as interviews and literature reviews to gather information from various relevant sources. The discussion reveals that the values of love, acceptance, and appreciation of differences as taught by Jesus can be effectively applied in early childhood education. This research successfully identifies the model of a Religious Moderation Educator for Early Childhood based on Mark 10:13–16, known as PERAMAH - Penerimaan (Acceptance), Empati (Empathy), Ramah (Friendliness), Apresiasi (Appreciation), Mendengarkan (Listening), Akomodasi (Accommodation), and Harmonisasi (Harmonization). It is recommended that early childhood educators implement religious moderation education using the PERAMAH model to build a more harmonious Indonesia today and in the future.

This practice has been implemented by the Dayak Kenyah tribe before christianity entered and continues to be carried out to this day. This article aims to reveal the value of senguyun as part of the tribe’s local wisdom, and as a way for Christian education for nurturing the faith of church members. The method used in  this research is a descriptive qualitative method. Data collection techniques employed are observation, interviews and document analysis. The result of the study shows that senguyun is a form of local wisdom that is in accordance with bibilical principles and should be regarded as a noble cultural heritage that must continue to be preserved.
