Abstract

Abstract: The mission perspective developed over the years which is anthropocentric in nature indirectly legitimizes the massive exploitation of nature which causes environmental damage. This departs from a human desire to lead to prosperity and prosperity by increasing economic production. However, what has happened has resulted in inequality and sustainable natural damage. The research will focus on reinterpreting Genesis 1:26-28 from the perspective of the cosmic function of Toraja culture to build a contextual-ecological mission paradigm. So that nature is seen in a different way and treated as it should be. This research will use descriptive qualitative method with text analysis approach and tenography. The end of this study shows that the cosmic function of Toraja culture and the reinterpretation of the text of Genesis 1:26-28 have similarities by viewing that other creations are human brothers and are one unified whole, so they are called sangserekan. It brings awareness of a new missionary paradigm that nature or cosmic is part of Christ's redemptive design. The mission paradigm that had been built up from the West then slowly shifted from ecclesiastical to theocentric. From an organizational church to an organismic church.

Abstract

This paper tries to explore the longko 'Toraya culture as a social ethic in the life of the Toraja people. Today's longko' Toraya culture is sometimes misunderstood as a necessity that becomes a burden. Especially in the midst of a materialistic and individualistic life and an instant lifestyle. This study uses a qualitative approach with literature, ethnography and observation and is framed in the perspective of Iris Murdoch which will strengthen the longko' culture as social ethics. So the result of this research is to provide assistance to others as an act that goes out of reality towards a loving and fair concern in seeing the needs of others as a necessity. When this is not done it will cause feelings of shame.
