Abstract

Disability refers to the limited roles experienced by people with disabilities. In most groups of society, the existence of disabled people is often viewed negatively. Based on the concept of normality, this group of people tends to give a negative stigma to people with disabilities as abnormal or abnormal humans. What people with disabilities experience is considered a curse, a hereditary disease, or even the result of sinful actions. The Catholic Church in its various teachings places disabled people as God's ideal creatures who are equal to other humans. Specifically, in his apostolic exhortation Amoris Latetitia, Pope Francis invites families and Christian communities to accept and respect the rights of people with disabilities. The presence of disabled people should be seen as a gift from God, and the acceptance of families and Christian communities is the work of the Holy Spirit and a testimony of the gift of human life. This research is a descriptive qualitative study which aims to understand and find concrete implementation of the Catholic Church's view of people with disabilities from the perspective of Amoris Laetitia. The research results show that the Catholic church's views in Amoris Laetitia can be the basis for inclusive pastoral care to open up, embrace and involve people with disabilities in all aspects of church life. Forms of inclusive pastoral care that can be carried out include providing education and awareness about disabled people for the church community, providing accessible facilities for disabled people, providing pastoral and spiritual support, and actively involving disabled people in liturgical and other church activities.

Abstract

When Jesus appeared to the disciples, he said: "Peace be with you; he breathed on them and said: Receive the Holy Spirit", John 20:21-22. Shortly after that Jesus ascended into heaven. The disciples prayed for ten days in Jerusalem and the Holy Spirit came down as promised by Jesus, (Acts 1:8). In addition, no one else, be it prophets, apostles, church fathers or pastors may breathe and tell people to receive the Holy Spirit. This study aims to find the views and attitudes of Christianity in ordaining ministry or worship. In this study, the method used is qualitative descriptive with an approach to an understanding and comprehension of the importance of receiving the anointing of the Holy Spirit so as not to be extreme in the completion of ministry or worship. The Holy Spirit anoints someone so that the person experiences a change in life to become spiritually qualified and has the divine ability to carry out ministry according to his calling, with abilities that exceed human strength.

Abstract

The Law of Torah states that the nature of man is a creature of the Creator of the universe who is Spirit. When God created man, Adam, He formed him from the dust of the ground. When God breathed His Spirit into the newly formed man, he became alive, physically, mentally and spiritually. Worship of God is a logical consequence of man because of creation. The purpose of the anointing is so that worshipers are adapted to the nature of the Most Holy God. Thus they are pleasing to God. The reason is, man has fallen into sin. Sin separates him from the presence of the Most Holy God. The curse and hardship of life make man aware that he needs God in his life. The problem is, man with his own efforts from his own ideas will not be pleasing and able to approach God. Sin does not allow man to approach the holy God. This study uses a qualitative method in order to describe and to gain an understanding of the values and qualities of the anointing in the Law of Torah.

Abstract

This research discusses the interaction between prayer and technology in enhancing the effectiveness of theological education in the digital age. The key issues addressed in this study include the challenges of traditional theological education, the impact of technology on the teaching and learning process, and the importance of integrating spiritual practices within a digital context. The aim of this research is to explore how prayer can be integrated with technology to create a deeper and more effective learning experience. The research method used is qualitative, involving interviews with theological educators, as well as content analysis from various digital educational platforms. The state of the art in this research indicates that while technology has transformed the way education is delivered, many theological education institutions still have not optimized the potential for integrating prayer into the learning process. The novelty of this research lies in its emphasis on the relationship between spiritual practices and the use of technology, which can enhance student engagement and understanding. The findings suggest that the combination of prayer and technology can create a more interactive and supportive learning environment, as well as increase student motivation and retention in theological education. This research is expected to provide insights for theological educators in utilizing technology more effectively while maintaining the spiritual aspects of teaching.

Abstract

The Role of the Church in Maintaining Faith Integrity Amid Moral Changes Caused by the Digital Era. The core issues in this research include the moral challenges faced by society due to technology, the impact of social media on religious values, and the need to educate congregants in confronting new moral complexities. The aim of this study is to identify strategies that the Church can implement to strengthen the faith of its members and to analyze how these approaches can remain relevant in today’s digital context. The research method employed consists of literature review and interviews with church leaders and congregants to gain deep insights into their experiences and the challenges they face. The state of the art from this research indicates that many churches have begun to adapt technology, but have not fully integrated moral teachings within the digital context. The novelty of this study lies in its holistic approach that combines theology, technology, and social psychology in strategies for maintaining faith integrity. The findings suggest that the Church can act as an agent of change by utilizing digital platforms for education and communication, as well as creating communities that uphold faith values in the face of new moral challenges. This research is expected to provide guidance for the Church in addressing the challenges of the digital era and strengthening its role in the spiritual life of the congregation.

Abstract

Confusion among Christians about the concept of salvation by God through Jesus Christ can disrupt their faith. Therefore, churches need to develop anticipatory strategies to overcome this phenomenon, one of which is through preaching. Effective faith-building preaching should be Christocentric, focusing on Jesus as the center of teaching. To achieve this, two conditions must be met: first, a hermeneutic perspective oriented towards Jesus, since this will influence the homiletic methods used; second, biblical readings that support that focus, in which the lexionary is designed to be gospel-centered. Finding the relationship between Christocentric hermeneutics and lexionary is essential to assess the extent to which these two elements can strengthen the faith of the congregation. Biblical and field research shows that both Jesus and his disciples applied a Christocentric approach to Bible reading and teaching. Luke 24:25-27 shows that Jesus is the central figure of the preaching in the Torah, the prophets, and the Psalms. Because in Luke 24:44 Jesus emphasizes the importance of reading the Bible with a Christocentric perspective. Colossians 1:15-20 is an example that shows the connection of this perspective to the theme of God's creation and salvation. The results of the study also showed that the cristocentric perspective was valid both in the context of Christian hermeneutics and in general, with survey analysis showing a positive correlation between Christocentric hermeneutics and lexionary sermons intended for congregations.

Abstract

Collaborative innovation has become crucial for organizations that wish to stay relevant and competitive in the quickly evolving digital age. There are plenty of opportunities, but there are also several obstacles to overcome. Information and data security in a digital world vulnerable to cyberattacks is one of the biggest problems. Sophisticated security measures must be implemented by organizations to safeguard confidential data that is shared among team members. Resistance to change is also an obstacle that needs to be overcome. When organizations adopt new technology, employees often face difficulties adapting. Organisations can create more efficient and effective solutions with the latest technologies, such as artificial intelligence and data analysis. Collaboration across industries and disciplines enables a holistic approach to solving complex problems. By understanding and overcoming existing challenges, organizations can harness the potential of collaborative innovation in the digital era to create added value, increase efficiency, and ensure business continuity in an ever-changing world.

Abstract

This qualitative literature review examines the role of Christian education in building spiritual resilience among adolescents amid peer influence. Spiritual resilience is defined as the ability to maintain one's faith and moral values in the face of external influences during adolescence, particularly peer pressure. Through an analysis of existing studies, the review explores how Christian education helps adolescents develop a strong spiritual foundation, providing them with tools to resist negative peer influences and make ethical decisions. The study highlights key factors such as the role of faith-based communities, family involvement, and consistent spiritual guidance in nurturing resilience. The review also emphasizes the importance of creating supportive environments within Christian educational settings, where adolescents can reflect on their beliefs, engage in positive peer relationships, and grow in their faith. It identifies both supporting and hindering factors that influence spiritual resilience, suggesting that effective Christian education programs can foster healthy moral and emotional strength..
