Pemali is a prohibition or taboo. One of the rituals that are still strong in Toraja society is the pemali Keissinna Padang (prohibition when plants bear fruit). This prohibition relates to not being allowed to go to the cemetery, while the rice is temporarily growing and bearing fruit in the fields. When this is violated it will cause rice plants to be damaged. The purpose of this study was to find out how the Toraja Church members of the Tambuntana congregation responded to the pemali Keissinna Padang. The research method used is qualitative research with observation and interviews and elaborated in theological-critical reflection. So from this study, it can be concluded that first, pemali Keissinna Padang is a good thing because it will regulate the order of human life so that they don't do anything arbitrary when the rice is temporarily growing in the fields. Second, pemali keissinna padang is still relevant in the lives of Toraja church members in the Tambuntana Congregation, because they always blame people who go to the graves when the rice is growing and bearing fruit. Third, this pemi is maintained as a form of mutual agreement with the whole community through the kalua'ada group (customary deliberation). Fourth, this pemi has the most basic meaning, namely love and respect for what has been agreed and done together.

In this article, the author would like to express his appreciation for the faith of the Toba Batak Catholics in the parish of St. John the Baptist, Perawang Riau, Padang Diocese, related to the Mangupa Lahiron Daganak tradition carried out in the Toba Batak tribal community. The Mangupa Lahiron Daganak tradition is one of the ceremonies to welcome and give thanks for the birth of a child in the Toba Batak family. This tradition is no longer carried out completely by Toba Batak Catholics in the parish of Saint John the Baptist Perawang Riau. Several instruments are used in the ritual of the Mangupa Lahiron Daganak ceremony. The function of this instrument is to make the ceremony run smoothly, wisely, and meaningfully. The instruments used in the ceremony contain symbols that are meaningful in people's lives. The purpose of this paper is to find and interpret the symbols in the Mangupa Lahiron Daganak ceremony, not only from a social point of view but more on theological meanings that can strengthen the appreciation of the faith of Catholics, especially the Toba Batak people. The results showed that the Toba Batak Catholics in the St. John the Baptist Perawang Riau parish were able to find social meaning, which was then transformed into an appreciation of the Christian faith, even though the Toba Batak people in the St. John the Baptist Perawang Riau parish no longer held the full Mangupa Lahiron Daganak ceremony.

Panggilan Allah terhadap manusia adalah untuk memberitakan Kabar Baik tentang keselamatan yang dikerjakan oleh Yesus. Keadaan manusia semakin hari semakin tragis, dan keadaan tragis ini hanya dapat diselesaikan melalui Injil. Injil harus diberitakan agar orang-orang dapat mengenal dan menerima keselamatan (2 Kor. 5:17). Injil harus diberitakan agar jiwa-jiwa tidak tersesat dan menuai kebinasaan. (Mrk. 9:43-48); Why. 20:11-15). Tata laksana pekabaran Injil sangat erat terkait dengan perkembangan media. Pekabaran Injil selalu memanfaatkan perkembangan dan perubahan sistem komunikasi di dalam masyarakat yang terus berkembang. Media dapat berperan dalam pemberitaan Injil. Kemajuan teknologi informasi khususnya memberikan suatu peluang untuk memberitakan Injil kepada siapa saja. Salah satunya tiktok, karena tiktok tidak mengenal batas wilayah, agama, suku dan ras. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah tiktok dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai media komunikasi Injil yang lebih menjangkau anak-anak muda di masa pandemi covid-19

This study explores the concept of Christian hospitality in response to immigration and refugee issues with reference to Leviticus 19:33-34. In the context of a global crisis, churches and Christian communities are called to show hospitality to refugees and immigrants, reflecting a commitment to provide help, support, and compassion to fellow human beings in distress. This research utilizes a qualitative approach with an in-depth analysis of the biblical text, especially Leviticus 19:33-34, and includes understanding the values, principles, and views related to hospitality. The results illustrate that the concept of Christian hospitality is placed in the context of holiness, emphasizing the importance of loving and welcoming strangers as a response to divine authority. Its theological implications include spiritual identity formation and bearing witness to God's love, while its practical implications form the basis for inclusive social policies and moral education.

The diversity of life and its complexity is a rich social fact and should be celebrated through encounters between fellow humans, but it is often harmed by forms of discrimination and self-limitation that narrow these relationships. This then restricts the existence of human life in narrow spaces like ghettos which isolate people from their social, cultural and religious contexts. This type of life is of course not permitted by the church, but often the church also participates in it. This is a historical burden that continues as previously seen in the text of Luke 10:25-37. The method used in this research is a library research method using library sources that are relevant to this research, as well as an interpretive or hermeneutic method to interpret the meaning of the biblical text for the current context. The results of this research are: first, the text of Luke 10:25-37 questions the meaning of fellow human beings, which the Israelites failed to practice compared to the Samaritans. In this text Jesus chooses to side with the actions of the Samaritans and criticizes the actions of the Israelites. Second, the text of Luke 10:25-37 reveals that the meaning of neighbor is universal and the church is required to side with Jesus' call to participate in building universal relationships with fellow humans beyond social, cultural and religious barriers. Third, the Church must free the meaning of others from the constraints of the ghetto that alienates their existence from the world.
