Abstract

This article examines the church's role in preserving ancestral heritage and cultural identity in the Toba Lake region, amid increasing resource exploitation and economic pressures. Many Batak communities are being pressured to relinquish their land, resulting in the erosion of their livelihoods and traditional values. This article aims to articulate a theological and pastoral framework for church involvement in land justice and cultural preservation. Using a qualitative method grounded in contextual theological reflection and socio-cultural analysis, the research draws from biblical principles, particularly the theology of land, stewardship, and Imago Dei. Intersecting them with Batak Toba customs. The findings suggest that churches can serve as prophetic mediators by fostering partnerships among communities, governments, and investors, and by strengthening vulnerable communities through holistic diakonia. This includes education, advocacy, and economic empowerment. Theologically grounded and culturally rooted, this approach empowers churches to be agents of justice, dignity, and sustainable development.

Abstract

The family of inmates is defined as family members who are directly affected by the imprisonment of their family members, who are dependents of the inmates. This study aims to analyze the impact of imprisonment on the families of inmates at the Class III Dobo Penitentiary and develop a holistic pastoral method to support them. Through a qualitative approach, data were collected from in-depth interviews with family members of inmates, pastors, and other related parties, participant observation, and literature studies. The results of the study indicate that imprisonment causes significant emotional impacts, including shame, social isolation, and financial stress. Families often experience stigma from the community, which worsens their psychological condition. This study also highlights the significance of social and spiritual support from the church in helping families navigate challenges. The proposed holistic pastoral care method includes pastoral conversations for adults and children, the formation of support groups, along with other empowerment actions for the families of inmates. With this approach, it is hoped that the families of the inmates can find hope, recovery, and rebuild their lives.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between pastoral leadership and congregational involvement in fostering faith growth based on 1 Peter 5:2, using GBIMiracle Service Cibubur (GBI MSC) as a case study. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with church leaders and members, direct observation, and document analysis. Thematic and interpretative analyses were conducted to uncover the dynamics between leadership practices and congregational participation. Findings reveal that pastoral leaders play multifaceted roles, including those of spiritual guides, teachers of the Word, counselors, motivators, and caregivers. However, several challenges arise, including a limited number of committed ministry personnel, an imbalance between ministry and personal life, interpersonal conflicts, and insufficient communication with congregants. Congregational involvement, fostered through ministry opportunities that utilize talents, mentoring, spiritual formation, and community fellowship, significantly contributes to both individual and collective faith growth. Active participation enhances spiritual maturity, character transformation, and a deeper connection with God. This study concludes that effective pastoral leadership, rooted in biblical values and responsive to the needs of the congregation, is essential for sustainable faith development. Personal spiritual consistency, leadership capacity, supportive community structures, and congregational engagement all influence leadership effectiveness. The study offers practical insights and theological reflection for strengthening church leadership and participatory discipleship in contemporary local church contexts.

Abstract

This article addresses the “where” question for understanding who God is for Christians. It explores the divine presence through the lenses of theological cosmology, Christology, and pneumatology. Limiting the investigation to (and even connecting) creation and redemption, and engaging contemporary theologians such as Adolphe Gesché, Alejandro García-Rivera, Ian McFarland, Kathryn Tanner, and Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen, it discusses God’s immanence and transcendence, culminating in spiritual panentheism. Ultimately, places where God is encountered are sacred with two characteristics of God’s glory descending as “rain,’ while worship ascends as “vapor” (upward and forward). As human, we are in this world first, a world to cultivate as cosmos (i.e., beautiful and shared world), although our destiny is elsewhere: where our world corresponds to God’s fullness. This means being at home in the cosmos, being at home in the flesh, and seeing God in all things. God is everywhere; we just need to experience divine presence by seeing all things in God. This implies lived faith in everyday life: now in the present, here and there, everywhere.

Abstract

The act of epistemic injustice against women in the present is exacerbated by theological discourse, which suggests that God approves of such injustice. The core of epistemic injustice against women lies in the denial of opportunities to women in any form. The narrative of Genesis 16:1-16 illustrates this reality, with Hagar (an Egyptian) as a slave fleeing from the injustice inflicted upon her. In this narrative, God and Abraham are depicted as passive figures who legalize injustice. Affirming this reality, the author intends to interpret the narrative of Genesis 16:1-16 using ideological critique developed by Jeffrey Fager and feminist perspectives. The author also compares it with the contemporary context of epistemic injustice as an inseparable part of theologizing. The interpretation process employs ideological critique and feminist perspectives. This research focuses on advocating for justice by listening to and seeing marginalized and oppressed people. The ignored voices of women are given space to provide testimony within the text.

Abstract

This article explores John 4:1–41 through the lens of ideological criticism to reveal its liberative potential in resisting cultural constructs that marginalize women. The encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well is examined as a counter-ideology that dismantles patriarchal norms of exclusion, stigma, and gender discrimination. By challenging socio-religious boundaries of ethnicity, gender, and morality, the narrative demonstrates Christ’s transformative power that affirms women’s dignity and agency. This study argues that the text not only exposes the oppressive ideologies embedded in its cultural setting but also offers a liberating vision in which women become active bearers of faith and witnesses to truth. Such a reading invites contemporary Christian communities to embody the same transformative ethos in confronting ongoing structures of discrimination today.

Abstract

This thesis aims to determine the factors causing the low participation of young men and women in church services at the GMIH Eben-Haezer Tuguis Congregation. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document studies. The results of the study indicate that low participation is caused by two factors: internal factors and external factors. Both fear, anxiety, and shame that arise from oneself due to ignorance, ministry trauma, bullying , minimal pastoral care from the church, and family also contribute to the impact. The church has a significant role in seeing the lives of the congregation, especially through three dimensions of its service: koinonia (fellowship), marturia (witness), and diakonia (service). In this context, youth are also an integral part of the Body of Christ and are called to take an active part in church life, as the future generation of the church. Many factors influence and become causes, which encourage every church leader to look at this. Therefore, This study suggests an empowerment-based pastoral approach so that youth can experience healing, growth, and active involvement.

Abstract

This article aims to describe the role of the church in addressing the socio-economic injustice caused by the Nickel mining company in Kawasi village. In this writing, the author uses a qualitative method, relying on reliable library sources such as books, articles, and journals. In addition, the author conducted field research in Kawasi village by interviewing several community members to collect data for this writing. The presence of PT. Harita Group, one of the nickel mining companies that exploits Kawasi village, has a destructive impact on the Kawasi community. The destructive impact in question is the loss of community subsistence, namely, living spaces, health problems, clean water crises, and disturbances to security, order, and cultural degradation. In the reality experienced by the Kawasi community, the church is required to understand its calling and role and advocate for the Kawasi community, as well as to the government and companies.
