Abstract

This paper explores the future of work in Catholic social teaching from the encyclical Mater et Magistra to Laudato Si, with an emphasis on the development of key social documents. This paper underlines that the Church's social teaching does not aim at scientific analysis or technical solutions about work, but rather at placing the dignity and rights of workers at the center of work issues. The Atoin Meto tribe also has a deep view of work, which is reflected in the rice and corn creation myth in which Uis Neno, the Lord of the Heavens, gave plant seeds to humans. This article was studied using qualitative methods with a case study approach to the work culture of the Atoin Meto tribe and literature study. The research results present that agricultural culture is closely connected to religious cults, focusing rituals on corn and rice. Humans are presented as co-creators in their work culture, emphasizing the spiritual dimension of farming work. The unique thing is, in the culture of farming work, Atoin Meto not only build contact with nature in silence, they build communication with Uis Neno, the Lord of Heaven in and through ritual language.

Abstract

This writing is motivated by the phenomenon of love that is not owned by Christians, so that there is a tendency of materialism among Christians that affects the way of thinking and behavior, this is because Christians are not able to carry out religious values perfectly. The emergence of cases of persecution, and discrimination against others shows that there is still a lack of love between people, especially Christians. Therefore, this study aims to apply theological studies on the concept of love for others in the Gospel of 1 John 4: 7-8 and its relevance for Christians, by providing forgiveness to others. By using a qualitative approach method to analyze, study and deepen it so that the right steps are obtained in practicing love for others in everyday life. The results of this study show that, (1) Jesus showed love regardless of ethnic or social differences, (2) Love is selfless, unselfish and most importantly unconditional, meaning total love. Thus, love is shown not only in words, but every real action as shown by Jesus to the Samaritan woman in John 4:7-8.

There are many cases of marriages being divorced civilly and annulled by the Church. Pope Francis in his Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia provides a deep reflection on the value of love that is the main bond in married life and which guarantees the longevity of married life. Married life is basically a life partnership between husband and wife. The basis of that partnership is love. Love allows married couples to experience happiness in married life. This article uses a literature review method. The author collects, reads, and understands various relevant sources and compiles them into a scientific article.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze how the church in the old and new testaments. The approach used in this research is descriptive qualitative, which aims to understand the structure so that it has a major influence on contemporary Christianity. From a conceptual perspective, the Church in the Old Testament is understood as a community of God's chosen people whose identity is attached to the ethnic unity of the Israelites and attachment to the law within the framework of the covenant. While in the New Testament, the understanding of the Church undergoes a transformation into a universal, inclusive, and spiritual community of faith, consisting of all people who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, without ethnic or legal restrictions. In terms of structure and leadership, the Old Testament features a leadership system based on heredity and institutional positions such as priests and prophets who mediate the people's relationship with God; whereas in the New Testament, leadership is no longer hereditary, but based on the gift of the Holy Spirit, with a collegial, functional and participatory service model and Christ as the Head of the Church, emphasizing the dimensions of relationships and service in the community.In terms of sacraments, religious practices in the Old Testament such as religious celebrations functioned as symbols of obedience and identity of the people's covenant with God, but in the New Testament, so the sacramental meaning is renewed through baptism and holy communion which are spiritual and Christocentric, marking new fellowship in Christ in the context of grace. This study concludes that the New Testament cannot be understood as a break with or an abolition of the traditions and practices that existed in the Old Testament. Instead, the New Testament represents a theological fulfillment and essential transformation of the entire narrative and system that had been built in the Old Testament.
