Abstract

For years HIV and AIDS were considered deadly viruses. Lacking appropriate knowledge about how these viruses develop made it more difficult to treat carriers, as they were once viewed as approaching death. Also, many thought that the virus was easily contagious (although it is not). Carriers were – and still are - marginalized and so could not maintain normal life in their communities. They were stigmatized more especially when the virus was viewed as the result of an un-controlled sex life. As “sinners” they had to pay for the sin they committed. This is pararell to the situation was faced by lepers at the time of Jesus. They were avoided, must not be touched; they were removed from the community. However, Jesus accepted lepers, touched them, and in accepting them broke through cultural and religious barriors. In Luke’s account (Luke 5:12-16) the leper does not seek a cure, but rather freedom from stigmatization (“made clean”). That is the “cure” that Jesus gave and what we can, and must, give today to HIV carriers. Kata-kata kunci: kusta, tahir, stigma, HIV, AIDS, Yesus, menjamah, mengulurkan, tangan, mentahirkan.

Abstract

Hak beragama telah dipertalikan dengan setiap orang sejak lahir, entah dia orang merdeka atau budak, kulit hitam atau putih, lelaki ataupun perempuan. Manifestasi iman tersebut terungkap secara hebat di dalam komunitas jemaat warga kulit hitam selama Masa Kebangkitan Kedua (Second Awakening) di abad ke-18 tatkala banyak orang Afrika masuk kekristenan dalam berbagai denominasi. Di tengah-tengah masa kebangkitan itulah Frederick Douglass lahir di Desa Talbot pada tahun 1818, dari seorang ibu budak warga kulit hitam dan seorang ayah yang diduga majikan warga kulit putih. Kelahiran Douglass ke dalam sistem perbudakan ini memberinya sebuah perspektif kritis atas iman dan efeknya terhadap setiap persoalan sosial, khususnya menyangkut perbudakan. Lebih penting lagi, Douglass mampu secara tajam mengemukakan interpretasiinterpretasi dan ideologi-ideologi kontradiktif mengenai agama/iman sampai ke tingkat yang menempatkan dia pada sebuah jalan dari status budak ke penghapus perbudakan (abolisionis). Harus dicatat bahwa kendatipun Douglass menganggap urusan iman/agama sebagai urusan yang sangat pribadi, namun keyakinan-keyakinannya dibentuk, dituntun, dan dapat didengar dalam pidato-pidato dan tulisan-tulisannya. Penting untuk menggali kehidupan Douglass sebagai seorang budak dan memeriksa apa pengaruh dari Gereja kulit hitam dan agama terhadap tindakan-tindakannya. Kehidupan Douglass sebagai seorang pejuang penghapusan perbudakan akan ditelusuri seraya memberikan perhatian yang intens/mendalam terhadap peranan agama dan Gereja kulit hitam terhadap kematangannya. Kata-kata kunci: Kekristenan, perbudakan, kebebasan, Gereja hitam, agama, cinta Allah

Abstract

Shortly after he was chosen as Bishop of Rome in April 2005, Benedict XVI took a number of steps towards a new dynamics in inter-faith dialogue. He began by setting down fundamental principles, namely knowing and appreciating one’s own faith as the essential condition for sincere cross-religious encounters. That is why, as a prominent dogmatic theologian, in his theological approach he not infrequently laid down clear boundaries, even in grey areas which sometimes drew strong rejection, for a real theological dialogue is not easy. But, according to Benedict XVI, this is the road we have to travel to arrive at a true dialogue, rather than simply politeness or “lip service”. During his period of service, Catholic-Muslim Forum I and II were created with their final declarations; if followed through globally, there would be no need for any more disputes or enmity between Catholics and Muslims. Unfortunately, reality is different. Today Bishop of Rome Francis wishes to follow-up this mission with a different language and emphasis. The core is the same, that through friendship and the principle of reciprocity, Catholic and Muslim peoples respect and understand each other without fear, for we are all brothers and sisters.

Abstract

This essay elaborates the Critical Theory proposed by a group of German intellectuals who revived the anti-capitalist social theory of Karl Marx. They belong to what is called the “Frankfurt-School” which emphasises the contextualisation of Marx’ theory. Critical Theory emerged as a response to anti-socialist dominance in contemporary society. This essay takes up some of the ideas of Frankfurt-School members Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse and Jürgen Habermas. Critical Theory can impact greatly on how we read present-day Indonesian society which is being destroyed by the global capitalist-system which in turn is producing social diseases like systemic corruption. Keywords: Teori Kritis, sekolah Frankfurt, Karl Marx, Horkhmeimer, Adorno, Marcuse, Habermas, relevansi teori kritis, realitas sosial Indonesia.

Abstract

This paper gives some basic ideas regarding the relationship between globalisation and the Second Vatican Council in Asia as a starting point for more detailed studies in the future. The first part discusses the situation of the churches at the edge of Asian societies and Asian socio-cultural contexts as influenced by globalisation. Then some social concerns are outlined such as poverty, authoritarian regimes and ecological dangers where the church and Asian societies encounter each other. Church engagement in these issues is justified by reference to a number of Counciliar documents such as the Gaudium et spes Constitution and the Diginitatis humanae Declaration. The final part outlines a number of problems such as inculturation, inter-religious dialogue and religious-cultural dialogue. The author emphasises that this paper is not a theological evaluation, but rather a sociological one. Kata-kata Kunci: globalisasi, Konsili Vatikan II, Asia, Gereja, konteks sosio-budaya, pembangunan.

Abstract

Intolerance and violence in the name of religion often flare up in Indonesia. In this regard the state often fails, and indeed itself becomes part of the violation of the citizen’s right to religious freedom. One root of the problem is a confused understanding among law enforcers and among a part of the citizenship concerning the relationship between religion and the state, between private and public morality. This essay attempts to formulate a concept of the relationship between religion and the state from the perspective of two models from political philosophy, namely liberalism and perfectionism. Perfectionism offers a solution to the pathology of liberalism which tends to privatise the concept of the good life. In perfectionism the thematisation of the concept of the good life as in ideologies and religions has to be given a place in the public sphere. In Indonesia this role is taken by the national ideology of Pancasila. Pancasila requires that religious values be translated into public morality. Kata-kata Kunci: liberalisme, perfeksionisme, konsep hidup baik (agama), negara, Pancasila.

Abstract

Waktu duduk di bangku SMP/SMA (1958-1963), sejarah politik masih disoroti dari perspektif para penguasa seperti kaisar dan raja, presiden dan perdana menteri. Dan memang pada masa itu penuturan sejarah politik sering digariskan oleh pihak yang berkuasa, pihak yang menang. Tapi, ketika mempelajari sejarah sosial di sekolah yang sama, kami diantar ke dalam getir gerak rakyat yang tertekan-tertindas, seperti pemberontakan kaum tani pada abad ke-13, urbanisasi besar-besaran pada abad ke-18, tuntutan serikat-serikat buruh dan pendirian koperasi kredit perdana pada abad ke-19, dan pembentukan Partai Buruh pada awal abad ke-20. Gurunya lain-lain; jelas juga pelajaran yang satu mempertanyakan pelajaran yang lain. Sejarah sosial mengikis kehebatan para raja sambil memperdepankan posisi rakyat biasa, dengan segala hasrat, strategi dan taktik juangnya. Dalam bahasa Alkitab: bukan sejarah dari perspektif raja Daud dan Solomo (sudut Deuteronomistik), tetapi sejarah sebagaimana disoroti nabi Amos, Hosea dan Yesaya (pihak nurani rakyat). Sebetulnya, sebagian besar sejarah masyarakat Allah dalam Alkitab ditulis dari pihak rakyat yang kalah. Tentu Bupati, Gubernur dan Presiden main peran dalam masyarakat. Namun, sejarah lebih teranyam oleh rupa-rupa kisah dari masyarakat biasa. Maka timbul pertanyaan: kajian sosial dan analisis politik mestinya dinilai dari pihak mana, pihak siapa? Pihak yang berkuasa atau pihak rakyat yang dikuasai? Bisakah kita menulis kembali sejarah NTT, umpamanya, dari sisi mereka yang kalah, bahkan dari perspektif mereka yang pernah disingkirkan, mereka yang dikalahkan, dibisukan, dan selama ini dilupakan? Sanggupkah kita menolak tipu dan melawan lupa dan membaca ulang sejarah kita dengan nurani rakyat yang murni? Pada tahun 2012 sutradara Joshua Openheimer menayangkan film Jagal. Selama dua jam penuh sejumlah pelaku premen dengan bangga merekonstruksi pembunuhan-pembunuhan yang mereka lakukan pada tahun 1965/1966 “atas nama negara”. Para psikolog menyatakan bahwa manusia mampu membunuh sesamanya hanya jika sasarannya sudah distigmatisasi dan di-dehumanisasi. Manusia tidak bisa membunuh sesamanya begitu saja, akan tetapi kita siap menghabisi obyek-obyek dan benda-benda yang kotor lagi najis, rela melibatkan diri dalam aksi “pembersihan lingkungan”. Nyatanya, pemutaran film Jagal berhasil membuka tabir yang selama lima puluh tahun menutup peristiwa pembantaian tragis-brutal tahun 1965/1966 dari ingatan kita, dari memoria bangsa kita. Jelas, sejarah resmi tahun 1960an disusun oleh para pemenang, oleh Orde Baru, bukan oleh mereka-mereka yang dikorbankan supaya Suharto bisa naik tahta. Mana ada buku sekolah yang mengingatkan kita bahwa rezimnya dikonsolidasikan dalam lautan darah, dan didirikan di atas jenazah ratusan ribu korban.

Abstract

Story-telling often conveys a message about a particular problem. The bitter stories of victims as recorded here are just a small part of many such experiences which pierce our conscience, abusing the dignity that is within each one of us. Besides these stories, this essay includes data from victims to remind us that today we face an extremely serious problem in human trafficking. From the cases handled by the Women’s Division of TRUK-F (a faith-based human rights NGO), it is clear that many parties are responsible, commencing with individuals and families, but including government institutions. The problem of human trafficking can befall anyone. TRUK-F has struggled to accompany victims while active in awarenessbuilding campaigning about the problem. The number of cases increases starkly by the day while the bitter stories of the victims, together with the anxiety and restlessness of their families, should invite the concern of everybody to engage in assisting victims while advocating for the ending of this inhuman trade. Kata-kata Kunci: Perdagangan orang, rekrut, korban perempuan, korban anak, pelaku, calo, sindikat, kekerasan, dinas pemerintah, PUB, Polisi, Divisi Perempuan TRUK-F, advokasi, Pastoral Gereja.

Abstract

Experience of encountering and being together with friends of a number of other religious traditions has contributed to changing the way one thinks, speaks and acts. This occurs only when there is a sincere readiness to open oneself to the other while at the same time acknowledging and appreciating plurality in the human family. In the Christian Church, both Catholic and Protestant, this can be understood as a result of the Second Vatican Council. In the context of Indonesia, and more specifically in Jogyakarta and in NTT Province, ecumenical relations between Catholics and Protestants indicate a desire for renewal (aggiornamento) in our common life. This is clear in collaboration between institutes of higher education, such as studying theology together, the use of a common Bible, acceptance of the deuterokanonika, meditation in common, and so forth. In such togetherness the ecclesial unity that Jesus prayed for derives its meaning. Kata-kata kunci: Perjumpaan, pembaruan, kesatuan, oikumene, tantangan, misi, kontekstualisasi, persaudaraan sejati
