Abstract

This article examines the controversial leadership of Alexander McLearn as President of Battle Creek College (1881–1882) and its relevance for renewing Adventist education in Indonesia’s Merdeka Belajar era. McLearn, a former Baptist minister turned Seventh-day Adventist, clashed with Goodloe Harper Bell over student discipline and gender relations, reflecting tensions between tradition and educational reform in early Adventist schooling. Using a biographical narrative method and archival sources, this study analyzes McLearn’s student-centered disciplinary approach, which anticipated Ellen G. White’s holistic educational philosophy but conflicted with institutional norms. The findings emphasize the importance of flexible leadership and character-based discipline. In response to declining enrollment in Indonesian Adventist schools, this article reinterprets McLearn as a misunderstood innovator and suggests integrating digital learning with Adventist values to address contemporary educational challenges. .

Abstract

Parentless is a condition of parental absence that significantly impacts children's emotional, social, and spiritual development. Data shows 20.9% of children in Indonesia live without father presence, with 408,347 divorce cases in 2024. This study aims to describe the impact of parentless conditions and explore the role of extended family as a holistic recovery strategy for parentless children at HKBP Pardamean. A qualitative method with descriptive approach was employed through literature study and interviews with 6 parentless children. Research findings indicate that parentless conditions cause prolonged trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, excessive anxiety, social interaction problems, societal stigma, and spiritual identity crisis. Extended family proved to provide support in four dimensions: emotional-psychological, parental figure substitution, financial-material, and social status recovery. All respondents confirmed receiving comprehensive support from their extended family. Extended family plays a vital role as an effective alternative support system addressing parentless impacts. This integration model successfully helps children recover from trauma and remain connected to social-spiritual values, providing practical contributions to alternative parenting strategies within Indonesian cultural context.

Abstract

Fostering comprehensive spiritual growth was both facilitated and complicated by the rapid integration of digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in contemporary church ministry. Digitalization enhanced ministry effectiveness, involvement, and communication, yet research indicated that technological advancement did not necessarily foster spiritual maturity. Many churches used AI-generated sermons, devotionals, and media without a theological framework to ensure that such content strengthened faith rather than merely boosting visibility. Grounded in the moral and theological precepts of Philippians 4:8, this study sought to develop a strategic model for AI use in church ministry. It employed a qualitative literature-based method and synthesized empirical studies on digital churches, reports on AI-enabled ministry, and contemporary theological scholarship to evaluate how the chapter’s eight virtues could guide content filtering and digital governance. The results identified five pillars: mission-oriented design, theological oversight, discernment-based curation, ethical-aesthetic coherence, and spiritual impact assessment. Through Spirit-led digital stewardship, this study presented a biblical value-anchored AI paradigm that positioned AI as a servant of the Gospel.

Abstract

This study explores the biblical and theological foundations of servant leadership as revealed in Mark 10:43-45 and examines its application within the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ, servant leadership presents a countercultural model of authority centred on humility, love, and sacrifice. The research integrates biblical exegesis with theological reflection, emphasizing how the principles of servant leadership are affirmed and expanded through the writings of Ellen G. White, particularly in her discussions on character formation, spiritual influence, and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Utilizing an applied theology methodology, this paper analyses how Christ’s paradigm of leadership can strengthen spiritual growth, increase member participation, and promote sustainable community development within the Adventist context. The study concludes that servant leadership, when faithfully practiced, transforms not only organizational structure but also the spiritual DNA of the church—turning it into a living reflection of Christ’s humility and selfless love.

Abstract

This article critically examines liberation theology’s perspective on the Church's political involvement, with a particular focus on its Latin American origins, hermeneutical foundations, and theological implications. Rooted in the socio-political struggles of the mid-20th century, liberation theology emerged as a response to systemic poverty, oppression, and injustice, advocating for the Church’s active engagement in transforming unjust social, economic, and political structures. Drawing on key theologians such as Gustavo Gutiérrez, Leonardo Boff, and Jon Sobrino, this study analyses the movement’s use of biblical narratives—particularly the Exodus—and its interpretation of Jesus’ ministry as inherently political. Employing a descriptive-evaluative methodology through library research and critical analysis of primary and secondary sources, the article explores how liberation theology redefines salvation as historical praxis and the Kingdom of God as a call to revolutionary justice. While affirming the movement’s prophetic emphasis on the preferential option for the poor, the article also critiques its potential reductionism in biblical hermeneutics and its tension with traditional ecclesial understandings of Christ’s apolitical mission. The discussion concludes that while liberation theology offers a necessary corrective to ecclesiastical detachment from suffering, its political framework requires careful integration with broader theological themes such as sin, grace, and eschatology to avoid ideological captivity. This evaluation contributes to contemporary theological discourse by offering a balanced assessment of liberation theology’s enduring relevance and limitations.
