Abstract

This study aims to explore the significance of Christ's humility and sacrifice, particularly through His emptying and death on the cross, and its implications in alleviating interpersonal and social conflicts. Adopting a qualitative approach, the study employs literature review and content analysis methods to examine biblical texts, theological works, and modern theories on conflict and reconciliation. The research focuses on how the principles of Christ's humility and sacrifice, exemplified in His self-emptying action to serve humanity, can be applied to resolve conflicts and restore relationships between individuals. The findings of this study indicate that Christ's teachings provide a relevant model for reconciliation and peacebuilding, both in personal life and on a broader social scale. The novelty of this research lies in linking the theological values of Christ with contemporary conflict resolution theories, offering new insights into the role of humility and sacrifice in addressing social tensions. This study contributes to understanding the relevance of Christ's teachings in the context of current conflicts.

Abstract

The role of women in church ministry has been a long topic, especially in the context of churches that still adhere to patriarchal structures. The patriarchal church still places women in certain tasks that are considered "traditional" or "appropriate" to gender stereotypes and limits women to certain areas of service. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The results of this study show that the winding path of women in the ministry of patriarchal churches is more due to factors from within women, both in terms of emotional, intellectual and psychological aspects. Meanwhile, external factors are more about the negative stigma of patriarchal society that women should not lead men. These obstacles are a reality, but the church needs to guide women to overcome these weaknesses and at the same time enlighten men about the role of women in the ministry in this modern era. Through continuous guidance, women have great potential to develop and make a wide contribution to church ministry.

Abstract

The environmental damage that is happening today, such as climate change, deforestation, and ocean pollution, demands a holistic and cross-sectoral response. In this context, religion can play a significant role in shaping human mindsets and behaviours towards nature. Eco-theology is a theological approach that integrates concern for the environment in the context of the Christian faith. With reference to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically those related to ecosystems such as Goal 13 (Climate Action), Goal 14 (Ocean Ecosystems), and Goal 15 (Terrestrial Ecosystems), eco-theology offers an ethical framework to encourage collective responsibility for creation. The approach used is qualitative descriptive through literature study. As a result, this article explores the principles of Christian ethics that can support the achievement of the goals of the SDGs ecosystem, including sustainable resource management, ecological justice, and environmental spirituality. With a multidisciplinary approach, this article demonstrates the relevance of eco-theology in answering global ecological challenges. As an implementation, eco-theology can be carried out through the Green Church Community, Ecological Liturgy, and Faith-Based Environmental Education.

Abstract

The tradition of Bόwό is one of the important cultural practices in the Nias tribal society, where the prospective husband gives a certain amount of money or property to the family of the prospective wife as a dowry. This study aims to analyze the impact of the Bόwό tradition on Christian family harmony with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with members of the Nias Tribe who have been involved in this tradition, as well as analysis of related literature. The results of the study show that although Bόwό is considered a symbol of appreciation and seriousness of the prospective husband, this tradition also has the potential to cause conflict in the family. Social pressure, unrealistic expectations, and shifting cultural values are the main factors that affect the negative impact of this tradition on household harmony. This research provides in-depth insight into the local cultural dynamics of the Nias Tribe and suggests the need for a more flexible approach in preserving traditions without sacrificing family harmony.

Abstract

Adolescence is a crucial phase for identity formation and the development of social relationships. However, not all relationships established by adolescents are healthy. One increasingly common phenomenon is Obsessive Love Disorder (OLD), a psychological condition in which an individual becomes excessively obsessed with another person, often leading to possessive and controlling behavior. This disorder negatively impacts adolescents’ emotional and social development. This study aims to examine the effects of OLD on adolescents and to propose effective awareness strategies. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed through a literature review. The findings suggest that raising awareness about the dangers of OLD should not rely solely on conventional methods such as seminars, but must also utilize social media platforms. In particular, educational videos are a relevant and engaging medium for the digital generation. Creative and contextual education is expected to help adolescents build healthy, non-obsessive relationships.
