Abstract

This research examines the culture and traditions of the Sabu tribe through a feminist theological perspective to understand how women are positioned in a social system that is often associated with patriarchy. Although injustice against women is still found in various cultural practices in Indonesia, research findings show that the puru tradition  actually presents the value of equality and respect. Using a descriptive qualitative method, this study found that puru functions as a protection mechanism for women from harassment, prejudice, and immoral acts. This tradition is in line with the Christian teaching of God's just love and respect for human dignity. Through puru, Sabu women gain space to determine their own way of life, develop as a whole person, and enjoy equal rights with men. Thus, women are seen as independent individuals and have control over their existence and future.

Abstract

Interreligious dialogue is a key mechanism for fostering peace and overcoming religious prejudices. However, in the context of the shift of the 21st century, traditional dialogue models seem increasingly inadequate. This study aims to examine the limitations of conventional interfaith dialogue and explore more relevant alternatives to contemporary interfaith relationships. Conducted in the context of rising interfaith tensions and the influence of digital on belief systems, this study uses a qualitative-critical design by analyzing interfaith literature and contemporary case studies. The findings suggest that passive tolerance and formal exchange no longer meet today's challenges. Instead, the study highlights the urgent need for transformation towards interfaith solidarity, radical friendliness, and joint action for social justice. He concluded that while interfaith dialogue remains important, its form needs to be significantly rethought. The study advocates a transition from outdated frameworks to embrace context-sensitive, critically informed, and transformative methodologies. By introducing practical and forward-looking solutions rooted in urgent social imperatives and scientific rigor, the research advances the discourse on interreligious engagement, bridging the gap between theoretical reflection and urgent collective action.

Abstract

The implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in various industrial sectors has caused tension between technological efficiency and worker dignity. This study aims to analyse the practice of layoffs due to AI implementation from an ethical-theological perspective. This research uses a qualitative-interpretive approach by examining Catholic Church documents, the Encyclical Laborem Exercens, and Christian Work Ethics from Martin Luther as a theoretical basis. The results of the study show that layoff practices driven by profit alone contradict the principle of human dignity as a subject of work and work as a divine calling. To ensure that technology does not conflict with human dignity, the adoption of AI must be accompanied by fair transition regulations, retraining, and ethical awareness among stakeholders. The final section of this study provides recommendations to ensure a fair transition for workers and companies, as well as the active role of the church in voicing the true prophetic voice.

Abstract

The cross is the main symbol often used by Christians and is widely known by non-Christian communities. The cross is usually interpreted as a symbol of the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus to redeem humans from sins. Uniquely, this symbol appears in the traditional cloth of the Kalumpang tribe. This research aims to explore the meaning of these symbols on the Sekomandi woven cloth typical of the Kalumpang people. The method used is a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. Researchers observed the location, conducted in-depth interviews with several traditional and religious leaders there. The findings obtained are that the meaning of the cross for the people of Kalumpang symbolizes group identity and appreciation for the servants of God who have served in their village. The values ​​raised are sacrifice, appreciation and hope for the prosperity of the village in the future. So, the cross is interpreted more sociologically, historically and economically than Christologically.
