Abstract

This research analyzes the application of J. Oswald Sanders' servant leadership concept to tongkonan (traditional house) leadership in Toraja society. The background of this study is the presence of authoritarian leadership tendencies among to parenge (tongkonan leaders) who prioritize personal power over community service and empowerment. This research employs a qualitative approach through literature review, analyzing academic articles, research journals, and theological sources to understand the relevance and applicability of Sanders' principles within the Toraja cultural context. The findings reveal that Sanders' servant leadership, which is grounded in spiritual discipline and community empowerment, represents a viable alternative for reconstructing tongkonan leadership from an authoritarian model to a collegial model. However, implementing this model faces structural challenges due to the transformation of tongkonan's functions and the intrusion of formal government systems. In conclusion, Sanders' principles can be applied to tongkonan leadership through institutional reconstruction that combines traditional Toraja values with transparent and accountable leadership practices, thereby creating leadership that is simultaneously serving and empowering the community.

Abstract

This study's objective is to describe the implementation of teaching modules as a Christian Religious Education learning strategy at Palangka Raya Christian High School. Teaching modules are used as learning tools in the Merdeka Curriculum to help teachers design structured, contextual, and student-centered learning. Seventeen students in the tenth grade served as research subjects for this study, which employed a descriptive qualitative method. Data collection was carried out thru observation of the learning process, analysis of learning documents, and evaluation results of student learning. The study's findings show that the implementation of teaching modules is able to support the systematic implementation of learning, increase students' active participation in discussions and group activities, and help achieve fairly good assessment results. Nevertheless, some constraints were found in the implementation of learning, such as time limitations and supporting facilities. Overall, the implementation of the teaching module has positive implications for improving the quality of the Christian Religious Education learning process and outcomes, and has the potential to be developed sustainably to shape students' character based on Christian values.

Abstract

The family is the primary place where the faith of children and adolescents is formed, especially in the digital age, which is rife with information and moral dilemmas. Home is more than just a place to live; it is where children learn Christian values ​​through parental example, prayer, discussion, and attention. With the digital generation growing up with rapid access to the internet and social media, it is crucial for parents to ensure that technology becomes a tool for growth, not a threat to faith. This study analyzed literature on Christian religious education in families, children's spiritual development, and challenges in the digital age. The results show that strong emotional connections and active parental involvement in daily faith education can significantly shape children's character and spirituality. The family is the primary foundation in preparing a wise digital generation, firmly rooted in Christ, and able to navigate changing times without losing their faith identity.

Abstract

This article discusses the role of Christian Religious Education (PAK) in shaping inclusive attitudes of students in the midst of diverse Indonesian society. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study examines how PAK can teach the values ​​of love, justice, and respect for differences, and their impact on students' character. The results of the study indicate that PAK not only functions as a transmitter of the doctrine of faith, but also as a means to promote tolerance and interfaith dialogue. Teachers play an important role as facilitators who create a safe and supportive learning environment, and integrate multicultural values ​​into the curriculum. Although PAK faces challenges in the learning approach, collaboration between the church, school, and family can strengthen the impact of religious education. Thus, PAK has great potential in shaping a tolerant generation committed to social justice in a pluralistic society.

Abstract

The formation of spiritual maturity within Christian families is often misunderstood as a result of chronological age or the length of one’s Christian experience. This literature study emphasizes that spiritual maturity is not determined by age, but by a continuous process of faith formation through biblical knowledge, spiritual practices, lifestyle modeling, and character transformation. Using library research methods, this study analyzes primary and secondary literature related to the role of families, stages of faith development, and the collaborative role of the church in spiritual formation. The findings reveal that the family serves as the central foundation of faith formation, requiring the active involvement of parents in Bible reading, prayer, ethical guidance, and moral example. Furthermore, spiritual maturity is influenced by developmental stages that do not necessarily correspond to biological age. The church functions as a collaborative partner that supports family spiritual growth through teaching, ministry involvement, and pastoral guidance. This study concludes that spiritual maturity is reflected in character and actions rather than ritual participation alone, and it recommends strengthening family-based faith education and cooperation with the church as a foundation for authentic spiritual growth.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the concept of reconciliation in Christian theology as a philosophical foundation for an alternative criminal justice model involving the LGBT community. The retributive criminal law approach is often considered ineffective in addressing the complexities of legal, social, and religious conflicts related to religious sexual minorities. Using a qualitative method and a constructivist approach, this study analyzes the meaning of reconciliation through sacred texts, doctrine, and interviews with theologians, legal practitioners, and the Christian LGBT community. This approach reveals the subjective understanding of the actors regarding reconciliation and justice. The findings show that the core of reconciliation theology is the restoration of relationships, recognition, and transformation, which can form an ethical framework for the restorative justice model. This model offers a holistic solution, not only addressing legal consequences but also restoring social harmony by respecting individuals' dual identities. The article concludes that the integration of theological insights can lead to a more inclusive and transformative criminal justice paradigm for the LGBT community, resulting in a more humane and just resolution.

Abstract

Contemporary churches face various crises ranging from declining congregation numbers, internal conflicts, to loss of societal relevance. Many church leaders struggle to mobilize congregations to actively participate in church restoration and growth. This research aims to identify Nehemiah's leadership principles in Nehemiah 2:17-18 relevant for mobilizing congregations facing crises and to formulate a Nehemiah-based leadership model applicable for church leaders. Using qualitative library research methods with exegetical approach and content analysis, this study found six main principles: dependence on God, clear vision, shared problem identification, inspirational communication, congregation empowerment, and perseverance in facing challenges. The formulated leadership model is holistic-integrative, encompassing spiritual, intellectual, social, and managerial dimensions with a fluid leadership approach adaptive to dynamic contexts. This model can help church leaders transform congregations from apathetic to motivated and actively participating in church restoration.
