Abstract

Anyone with the knowledge of Islamic culture knows that Islam has produced works of art and incredible architecture - Persian miniatures, the Taj Mahal, mosque, music etc. However, only a few people realize that this rich artistic heritage is rooted in a world view that underlines love and beauty. The relationship between love and beauty is quite clear. We love what we find beautiful. This article offers the meaning of beauty in Islam from the perspective of spirituality as seen in the Quran, Calligraphy, Arabesque, music, mosque, Mihrab, The Alchemy of Light, and finally the concrete expression of this beauty in the life of the human soul. The Prophet said, “God is beautiful and loves beauty.” In understanding the beauty and love in Tawhid, the Oneness of God – “There is no god but Allah,” the hope is that this paper will enable one to know the All Beautiful One - God in various manifestations. If God is beautiful, then nothing is truly beautiful but God. And if God is loving, then nothing really loves besides Allah.

Abstract

By moral methodology of Vatican II, I mean the way of moral thinking or moral approach used in the documents of Vatican II. Louis Janssens is of the opinion that Vatican II documents are characterized by a personalistic way of moral thinking. This way of doing moral theology bases itself on the human person adequately considered in all of his/her dimensions which build up his/her dignity as the human person. This article explains some characters of personalistic moral methodology, namely that dynamic and dialogical aspect of moral approach which characterizes both Janssens's moral theology and Vatican II way of thinking. Moral theology must be dynamic as is life from which it derives. One cannot just repeat moral norms to every situation. Life situation is always changing and causing new moral questions which needs new and correct moral solutions. The most  important criterion is whether or not the moral answers to new moral problem are promotive for the real good of the person, that is making the person better and better as human being. The council of Vatican II and the moral theologian Louis Janssens are the examples of how to deal with a new changing modern world with such a creative and dynamic engagement in making dialog with new situations.

Abstract

Reconciliation process is a process of truth unfolding and memory recovery. What is the center of attention in this recovery and disclosure process? Reconciliation seeks to uncover and restore the truth and justice of the narratives of the past. Through the reconciliation process, it is expected that what really happened and what has beenthe real wound of the victims can be recovered through the process of uncovering the truth. Robert J. Schreiter'sview about the reconciliation process includes three basic attempts, i.e., the truth telling, the pursuit of justice, and the healing of memories and forgiveness. Considering the long and complex process of reconciliation, he further develops the three stage process of reconciliation from the Christian perspective, which can be phrased as the genesis stage, the transformation stage, and the readjustment stage. This Christian reflection of reconciliation processgives rise to a spirituality of reconciliation that includes the attitude of listening and waiting, the focus on attention and concern, and the paradigm shift. The biblical basis of the spirituality of reconciliation is further explored in the light of Paul, the passion narratives, and the narratives of Jesus' appearance after the resurrection.

Abstract

Religion has been an institution that plays a leading role in matters of human religious and spiritual life. One might ask whether in the last centuries religion still did its job to encourage human beings to seek the religious truths and whether it still prevented them from the fall into negative tendencies. Did not religion tend to be one of the stimulants to radicalism, fundamentalism, and terrorism, even in the areas that were regarded as the origin of religiosity and religions? If so, what was left of religion? For Ken Wilber, there is only one major element in religion that can make religion play the leading role in the midst of confusion and change in this age, that is, contemplation. Contemplation leads human beings to face the Absolute. In this contemplation religion needs to be correlated with science by juxtaposing and exploring the knowledge from both fields and by analysing the five correlative attitudes. This effort is a kind of reframing process to create a map of existence which enables us to fulfil the three strands of valid knowing to verify the whole knowledge.

Abstract

Priesthood is one of the known forms of apostolic ministry in the Church since decades of centuries ago. Its presence now, especially after the Second Vatican Council, when the number of priests around the world declines, has been talked about quite lengthy especially in the European countries and the United States undergoing secularisation. In the countries discussions were conducted and some solutions were offered, among others, that the Church needs to ordain women and to allow the priests to marry. But the (Catholic) Church remains with its traditional establishment: the priest needs to be celibate. What has been the reason? This is the point of exploration of this article. Talking about this subject is quite rare in the public sphere, moreover in important and urgent occasions. The point is quite simple: adding to the understanding and appreciation of the sublime dignity of celibacy for the service in the ecclesial life, especially in the present day. What will be seen: the roads to holiness in the Church and the wider realm of reference to apprehend this form of service. What will be discussed: who is apriest, by looking at itsstanding in the past and in the present day, and the essential call to the ministry as a Eucharistic minister, which will be described by highlighting the lifestyle uncovered in the spiritual framework the priest must build, i.e., prayer and celibacy/chastity.

Abstract

Bercerita (storytelling) membutuhkan teknik tersendiri agar pesan yang ingin disampaikan diterima dengan baik. Sang Sutradara, Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Brokeback Mountain), menggunakan teknik visual modern untuk menyampaikan pesan dalam film ini. Selama lebih dari dua jam kita akan disodori sebuah 'pesona visual.' Kecanggihan teknologi, para pemain yang memerankan bagian mereka dengan sangat baik, plot yang imajinatif, menjadikan film yang diangkat dari novel berjudul sama ini seperti sebuah petualangan Ulysses dalam dunia modern yang ditaburi tawa dan tangis, kecemasan dan kekaguman, kompleksitas dan kesederhanaan. Tapi, mari kembali ke film-itu-sendiri, pada cerita-itu-sendiri. Pesan apakah yang hendak diartikulasikan melalui film ini?

Abstract

Sebuah ruang dan sepasang orang. Itu saja dan ditambah dengan percakapan berdurasi hampir satu setengah jam. Namun tidak sedetikpun menyisip kebosanan. Film yang merupakan adaptasi dari novel berjudul sama karya Cormac McCarthy – penulis yang pernah diganjar Pulitzer – ini adalah sebuah pernyataan yang lantang bahwa untuk membuat sebuah film yang baik ada tiga pilar yang jangan sampai dilalaikan: ide, karakter, dan dialog. Selebihnya adalah ornamentalitas, yang meskipun penting juga namun tidak memberikan tambahan pada “bobot” sebuah film. Ini adalah film dalam bentuknya yang murni, perpaduan yang apik antara content dan container, dan karenanya perlu didekati dengan tarian rasa dan ketertiban rasio. Pelbagai detail dalam film ini adalah nilai tambah yang sangat indah, memiliki kedalaman yang tidak pura-pura dan kontur warna yang berpadu gemilang.
Ci Opak, Jis Opak (No Canoe, No Firewood): An Economic Dimension of the Asmat Canoe Otenieli Daeli, Onesius

Abstract

Ci is an integral part of daily life for the people of Asmat region, for geographically it is located in the lowlands and in the middle of the very broad swamp area in Papua, Indonesia. Since the rivers separate as well as connect one place from another, having a ci becomes a habitus of Asmat people. Ci means a canoe in the Asmat language. Ci is a very important cultural material to meet the needs of daily life, both personal and communal. One of the very basic Asmat expression is “Ci opak, jis opak” (no canoe, no firewood). This means that a family cannot live without a canoe because the most simple things like firewood for cooking are not available. Therefore, ci is fundamental in the life of Asmat people. Unfortunately, ci tends to be shifted or even replaced by motorised transport, while the Asmat people themselves give less attention to preserve it. As a result, they become powerless and are often described like a man who “cemen opak” (does not have a penis) or who is impotent that he is marginalised in the various fields of life.

Abstract

This article is an endeavour to be ‘imagerially present’ among the believers in Java, and in this way, could add to the sensitivity to what is happening in the praxis of faith of the Catholics in Java. Christian faith may have caused some changes in the believers’ imagination. Catechesis on the church in Java can take many advantages from this research, considering that its outcome comprises of the church images which can be used to enhance the catechetical material. The distinction of images appears in four dimensions (the believers’ imagerial preferences, the church’s relevance, the believers’ intentions to participate and their contextual and meaningful images). This research is an opening towards further reflections about ‘imagerial catechesis’ in Java. In this eye, it prepares a necessary path for deepening the conviction that the believers’ ‘cultural’ ways of being church are an essential element in the process of doing theology with images. No less than seventeen images have surfaced during the efforts of re-imagining the church images. These ‘cultural’ and communal images are correlated with the ‘biblical’ images of the church in order to unearth the believers’ interpretations of the latter within the sociocultural contexts.

Abstract

Thomas S. Kuhn envisioned the development science as occured through a scientific revolution when the scientific paradigm defended by the scientific community was no longer able to solve concrete problems. The scientists then shifted to a new paradigm that was able to solve the problem as well as promising a more stable of future research. This view has been criticized by Larry Laudan who says that paradigm shift is incompatible with the reality of the development of science itself. For Laudan, science develops through an internal evolution of science itself. The paradigm will never be abandoned altogether whenever scientists face a new scientific problem. Scientific theories will prove its compatibility and update itself through the process of scientific dialogue vertically and horizontally in the hierarchical model of epistemic justification.
