Abstract

The understanding and appreciation of the Lodong Me ritual in relation to the sacrament of baptism by the Rawa tribe in the Parish of the Virgin Mary Queen of Tanarawa remains minimal. This is because the congregation tends to consider the Lodong Me ritual more important. Consequently, most congregation members prioritize the Lodong Me ritual over the Sacrament of Baptism. This study aims to explore the deeper meaning of the Lodong Me ritual in relation to the Sacrament of Baptism. The method used is a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach through interviews and documentation with traditional elders, parish priests, religious teachers, and congregation members. The collected data is processed and presented phenomenologically. The results indicate that the congregation's understanding of the meaning of the Lodong Me ritual and the Sacrament of Baptism remains very limited. This can be improved through catechesis and faith-building activities, which are expected to enhance the congregation's understanding of the Sacrament of Baptism.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the important role of the Church as the communion of God's people in fostering and accompanying Catholic Youth (Orang Muda Katolik [OMK]) as the future generation of the Church. The Station Head (Ketua Stasi) is responsible for strengthening community fellowship, organizing pastoral activities, and mentoring Catholic youth to remain actively involved in the life of the Church. This study aims to analyze the role of the Station Head in enhancing the participation of Catholic Youth at Saint Theresia Waijarang Station. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through interviews and observations involving the Station Head, Catholic youth, and members of the congregation. The findings indicate that the Station Head's direct involvement in youth activities has not been fully optimized due to other professional responsibilities. As a result, some Catholic youth feel they receive insufficient attention and guidance, which affects their motivation to participate in Church activities. Nevertheless, the Station Head continues to provide support, guidance, and supervision for various pastoral programs. At the same time, Catholic youth remain actively engaged in Church activities because they recognize their responsibility as the future generation and backbone of the Church. The study concludes that effective collaboration among the Station Head, the congregation, and Catholic youth is essential for strengthening ministry, fostering faith formation, and creating an active, harmonious, and sustainable Church community.

Abstract

This revised manuscript expands a reflective essay on the relationship between the Church, value politics, and the threat of national disintegration in contemporary Indonesia. The study addresses previous concerns regarding an underdeveloped methodology, repetitive rhetoric, and limited academic support by framing the article as a qualitative literature-based study with contextual theological analysis. This article argues that the Church is not called to function as an instrument of political legitimation but rather as a public conscience that maintains critical distance from all political powers. By examining the history of church-state relations, the dynamics of identity politics in Indonesia, and key works in Christian political ethics, the study proposes three practical orientations: deconstructing a defensive minority mentality, strengthening value politics based on justice and the common good, and transforming the Church into an inclusive public space that promotes interfaith dialogue and civic solidarity. The conceptual conclusion highlights that the Church’s response to polarization should not be characterized by apathy or pragmatic alignment with political elites, but through a disciplined, prophetic, and constructive witness in public life.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the procession and symbolic meaning of the Angka' tradition in customary marriages in Mala'bo, Mamasa, and to theologically analyze the values of husband-wife responsibility it contains. Angka' is a tradition of giving buku lampa (thigh bone) to the groom and buku siruk (rib bone) to the bride as symbols affirming the husband's role as provider and the wife's role as household manager. This research uses a qualitative approach with an ethnographic-phenomenological design and an anthropological model of contextual theology, which regards local tradition as a locus theologicus that can be dialogued equally with biblical texts, particularly Ephesians 5:22-33 and Proverbs 31. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with customary leaders, couples who had undergone Angka', and local church leaders in Mala'bo, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings show that the meanings of buku lampa and buku siruk align with biblical principles of marital responsibility, although a gap was found between the tradition's symbolic ideal and present-day household practice due to shifting socio-economic conditions. The study also finds that the local church has not yet explicitly linked the value of Angka' with biblical teaching on family, opening a pastoral opportunity to integrate this tradition into premarital formation and Christian family counseling in Mamasa.

Abstract

This study examines the strategy of Christian Religious Education (CRE) ministry for adolescents at Gereja Bethel Indonesia Rajawali Congregation, where the limited number of youth members presents unique challenges to ministry implementation. The study aims to identify the ministry strategies applied, the obstacles encountered, and the efforts made to overcome those obstacles in order to strengthen adolescents’ spiritual growth and participation in church activities. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, with information obtained from church leaders and youth ministry servants. The findings indicate that effective ministry strategies include building personal relationships with adolescents, conducting small-group sharing sessions, utilizing interactive learning methods, integrating digital media into ministry activities, and organizing contextual programs that correspond to the needs of young people. The study also reveals several challenges, including limited parental and church support, a small number of active adolescents, and the influence of digital culture on youth engagement. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of collaborative efforts among church leaders, parents, and youth mentors in developing creative, contextual, and sustainable ministry programs that encourage adolescents to grow spiritually and actively participate in the life and mission of the church.

Abstract

This study was motivated by a sociolinguistic phenomenon in the Indonesia–Timor-Leste border area, particularly at St. John Paul II Maudemu Chapel, Belu Regency, where the incorporation of the Bunaq language into Catholic liturgy enhances the congregation’s participation and understanding. The study aimed to identify the forms, contributing factors, and functions of code-switching and code-mixing in liturgical communication. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. Primary data were collected through direct observation of Sunday liturgical celebrations and structured in-depth interviews with eleven informants, including the parish priest, catechists, Basic Ecclesial Community leaders, community representatives, and Catholic youth members. Secondary data were obtained from books, journal articles, and Church documents. Data were analyzed through data collection, reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that code-switching between Indonesian and Bunaq occurs during the homily, liturgical announcements, and prayers of the faithful, while code-mixing appears through the use of Bunaq kinship terms and culturally significant expressions. These linguistic practices are influenced by the congregation’s limited understanding of formal Indonesian religious terminology, the priest’s pastoral communication strategies, and the need to create a more familiar liturgical atmosphere. The use of both languages strengthens comprehension of Scripture, increases spiritual engagement, and supports the preservation of Bunaq cultural identity through liturgical inculturation.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of Bible study on the faith growth of Christian students at SMKN 2 Tapung Hilir, Kampar Regency. Using a quantitative survey approach, data were collected from 22 Christian students selected through total sampling. Valid and reliable questionnaires were analyzed using simple linear regression with SPSS. The results show that Bible study has a positive and significant effect on students’ faith growth. The correlation coefficient indicates a very strong relationship (r = 0.827, p < 0.05), while the coefficient of determination (R² = 0.684) shows that Bible study explains 68.4% of the variance in faith growth, with the remaining 31.6% influenced by other factors. These findings demonstrate that Bible study plays an important role in fostering students’ faith growth and should be systematically integrated into Christian Religious Education and spiritual formation programs. The findings also indicate that regular participation in Bible study encourages students to strengthen their understanding of biblical teachings, develop positive Christian values, and apply their faith in daily life. Therefore, schools are encouraged to provide consistent and structured Bible study activities to support students’ spiritual development and strengthen their Christian character within the educational environment.

Abstract

The church has the responsibility to fulfill the Great Commission through evangelistic ministry that is responsive to the needs of society. However, the implementation of evangelistic mission faces various challenges that require churches to develop contextual ministry strategies while actively involving the entire congregation. This study aims to describe the role of GEKI MRC Medan Marelan Church in carrying out its evangelistic mission and to identify the forms of ministry that support the implementation of this mission. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using interviews, observations, and documentation as data collection techniques. The research participants consisted of church members, cell group leaders, and church ministry leaders. The findings reveal that GEKI MRC Medan Marelan Church plays an active role in conducting various evangelistic activities, including seminars, Bible study, social outreach, pastoral home visits, and community-based programs involving local residents. These activities encourage congregational participation in ministry while expanding the reach of the Gospel through relational and contextual approaches. The findings also indicate that the active involvement of church members strengthens the relationship between the church and the community and enhances the effectiveness of evangelistic ministry. The study implies that churches should continue to develop innovative, participatory, and adaptive evangelistic strategies in response to social changes so that evangelistic ministry remains relevant and generates a positive impact on both the congregation and the wider community.

Abstract

The role of pastoral integrity in fostering the spiritual growth of the congregation at GPdI Kasih Karunia Tebing Tinggi is an important subject of study. This research aims to: (1) determine the level of pastoral integrity at GPdI Kasih Karunia Tebing Tinggi; (2) identify the condition of the congregation's spiritual growth; and (3) analyze and empirically examine the influence of pastoral integrity on the spiritual growth of the congregation at GPdI Kasih Karunia Tebing Tinggi. This study employed a quantitative research method by distributing questionnaires to church members to collect data. Since the sample size consisted of fewer than 50 respondents, the Shapiro–Wilk test was used to assess data normality. The results of the Shapiro–Wilk residual test indicated a significance value of 0.177 for Variable X and 0.386 for Variable Y. As both significance values exceeded 0.05, the data were considered to be normally distributed. The findings revealed that pastoral integrity has a significant positive influence on the spiritual growth of the congregation by providing exemplary leadership and fostering trust within the church community. The study confirmed a significant relationship between pastoral integrity (X) and the spiritual growth of the congregation at GPdI Kasih Karunia Tebing Tinggi (Y), with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.627 and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 39.4%. This indicates that pastoral integrity accounts for 39.4% of the variance in the congregation's spiritual growth, while the remaining 60.6% is explained by other variables beyond the scope of this research model.
