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 research examines the participation of Generation Z in the Eucharist and its implications for fostering peace within the context of the Protestant Church in the Mollucas (GPM). The background of this study is rooted in the social conflicts experienced in Maluku, which have impacted Generation Z and necessitate their preparation to avoid replicating the traumas of the past. Through the Eucharistic liturgy, this generation can discover the meaning of reconciliation and cultivate harmonious relationships with God, oneself, others, and the natural world. This research employs a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methodologies, and involves Generation Z from the Rehoboth and Ameth congregations. The focus of the study is on how Generation Z understands the meaning of the Eucharist, their participation in worship, and its effects on the preservation of peace in Maluku. The findings suggest that while Generation Z acknowledges the Eucharist as a sacred sacrament, the meanings and values it embodies are often not integrated into their daily lives. This study aims to formulate a contextual liturgy of the Eucharist that can respond to the voices and needs of Generation Z in creating peace as peace builders.

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.

Abstract

Premarital pregnancy among Christian adolescents constitutes a complex social, psychological, and pastoral issue in Indonesia, where religious and cultural values strongly influence public perceptions of sexuality and family life. This study examines the causes and challenges of premarital pregnancy among church youth and evaluates the church's role in providing pastoral care. Using a qualitative multiple-case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation involving adolescent mothers, family members, and church leaders in two congregations of the Protestant Church of Maluku. The findings reveal that premarital pregnancy is associated with limited sexuality education, inadequate parent–child communication, and premarital sexual relationships. Adolescent mothers experience shame, stress, trauma, and social stigma, which are reinforced by socio-religious narratives that frame pregnancy outside marriage as sin and disgrace. The study further demonstrates that church responses remain largely reactive rather than restorative. It argues for holistic pastoral care integrating emotional support, parenting education, family accompaniment, and spiritual guidance to promote the well-being and social reintegration of adolescent mothers.

Abstract

Traditional rituals in society, especially the Kulawi tribe in Central Sulawesi, are an inseparable part of their lives. However, the Kulawi tribe's rituals consist of various symbols and activities: Village cleansing with all traditional prayers (poraeo); harvest or thanksgiving feast (mowunca); traditional wedding (p’memua); Funeral with the determination of the mourning period (Poromu) accompanied by ombo (moratorium containing taboos and prohibitions), placing stones on graves (movatui dayo), and 40-day commemoration (pantaia), which are often ignored in church services, even though these rituals have liturgical and pastoral benefits. With a qualitative approach and a literature review through ritual theory (Catherine Bell) and liturgical contextualization (Peter C. Phan), this article argues that rituals can become liturgical tools through liturgical contextualization efforts, making them useful in church services in the future.

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 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 study examines the theological meaning of the Day of the Lord in Zephaniah 1:1–18 and its relevance to the contemporary understanding of the congregation of GMIM Moria Girian Indah, Bitung XIII District. Employing a qualitative approach with historical-critical hermeneutics, the research analyzes the historical context, literary features, and theological message of the prophetic text, complemented by field data from the congregation. The findings reveal that the congregation predominantly interprets the Day of the Lord in an eschatological sense, emphasizing future divine judgment while giving limited attention to its historical and ethical dimensions. Exegetical analysis demonstrates that, in Zephaniah, the Day of the Lord also refers to God's historical judgment against Judah's covenant unfaithfulness and serves as a prophetic call to repentance, justice, and covenant fidelity. The study argues that a holistic understanding of the Day of the Lord should integrate its historical, theological, ethical, and eschatological dimensions, encouraging believers to embody repentance, faithful discipleship, and responsible Christian living in the present.

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 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.
