As a result, theology is often separated from the church. This can happen, because theology in Indonesia inherits Western theology while churches in Indonesia develop according to their locus. Western theology, which often denies culture, is ultimately difficult to practice in church services, especially tribal (local) churches, which always take into account the cultural values that develop in the area. This needs to be addressed wisely, so that theology can practice with the ministry of the church. This article offers a way to be able to practice theology in the service life of churches in Indonesia by applying a cross-textual reading model or method in an effort to theology. Cross-textual reading is a way to understand the values of the Bible (way of theology) in the form of sacred texts with sacred texts in culture. There are efforts to accommodate theology, but in understanding the sacred texts of the Bible, it synergizes with cultural sacred texts, to create a culture-based church theology. If the biblical text speaks in parallel with cultural texts, then theology lives in line with the praxis of church ministry, and the theology that develops in Indonesian churches is theology rooted in Indonesian culture.\u0000 \u0000Teologi seringkali tidak sejalan dengan praksis pelayanan di gereja. Akibatnya teologi seringkali terpisah dari gereja. Hal ini bisa terjadi, karena teologi di Indonesia mewarisi teologi Barat sedangkan gereja-gereja di Indonesia berkembang sesuai lokusnya. Teologi Barat, yang seringkali menafikan budaya, pada akhirnya sulit untuk berpraksis dalam pelayanan gereja, terkhusus gereja suku (lokal), yang selalu memperhitungkan nilai-nilai budaya yang berkembang dalam daerah tersebut. Hal ini perlu untuk disikapi dengan bijak, agar teologi dapat berpraksis dengan pelayanan gereja. Artikel ini menawarkan sebuah jalan untuk dapat mempraksiskan teologi dalam kehidupan pelayanan gereja-gereja di Indonesia dengan cara menerapkan model atau metode pembacaan lintas tekstual dalam upaya berteologi. Pembacaan lintas tekstual merupakan cara untuk memahami nilai-nilai Alkitab (cara berteologi) yang berupa teks suci dengan teks-teks suci dalam budaya. Ada upaya mengakomodasi teologi, tetapi dalam pemahaman teks suci Alkitab bersinergi dengan teks suci budaya, untuk menciptakan teologi gereja yang berbasiskan budaya. Jika teks Alkitab berbicara dalam kesejajaran dengan teks budaya, maka teologi hidup sejalan dengan praksis pelayanan gereja, dan teologi yang berkembang di gereja-gereja Indonesia adalah teologi yang mengakar pada budaya Indonesia.","PeriodicalId":291777,"journal":{"name":"RERUM: Journal of Biblical Practice","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121022135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, what often happens is that parents are satisfied with sending their children to Sunday school and sending them to well-known schools or schools that have a character building curriculum. However, during the Corona Virus or Covid 19 pandemic, parents can no longer leave their children in public schools or Sunday schools. The government's decision requires schools to be online. In addition, Sunday school worship is also abolished. Now they live at home with their parents almost every day. Interaction with parents is a valuable opportunity to interact and build relationships as well as build children's character. Unfortunately, many parents are not ready to seize this opportunity. This study uses a library analysis methodology and a case approach that occurred during this pandemic. The results show that parents must be aware that educating their children is very important, and is a responsibility that cannot be transferred to other parties. Being a role model in the home cannot be done once in a while but all life in the home is an example, directing the potential of children according to their talents and interests, and providing guidance and being able to become friends for them.","PeriodicalId":291777,"journal":{"name":"RERUM: Journal of Biblical Practice","volume":"242 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130819073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The position of women who sit lower than men is still a matter in society. There are even some parts of society that restrict women from carrying out their roles only in the domestic sphere, namely only carrying out their roles as a wife and mother in the household. Not only in the community but also in the church environment where women are still weak and do not have a position in the church so that women do not have the same rights and obligations as men. Therefore, women do not have the space to appear in public and are very basic and even not allowed at all. The author conducted this research intending to take the text about women in the Gospel of Luke chapters 1 - 2 through the figures of Mary and Elizabeth. The author uses the narrative critical method by focusing his attention on the characters, plot, setting, and point of view. By using this method, it is hoped that we will get an understanding – both theory and implication in practical living that women also have a very important role in the work of mankind's salvation. God can use women to take part in the declaration of his plan in the world, the effort to save mankind. Therefore, women do not need to think of themselves as inferior to men.","PeriodicalId":291777,"journal":{"name":"RERUM: Journal of Biblical Practice","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116163031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This subordination of girls is even recorded in a series of education policies that place women as the owners of domestic authority and men to be priests or the backbone of the family.

Lebih dari 100 juta orang telah terpapar dan lebih dari dua juta orang meninggal dunia diseluruh dunia. Angka-angka ini masih akan terus bertambah seiring berjalannya waktu. Selain bencana kesehatan, pandemi Covid 19 telah memicu bencana multidimensi global terbesar dalam satu abad terakhir. Selain dampak kesehatan, pandemi telah memicu dampak ekonomi, psikologi, sosial, pendidikan, dst. Dimulainya program vaksinasi, walau masih terbatas dan belum merata, telah memberikan harapan baru bagi masyarakat dunia untuk keluar dari krisis ini. Ditengah situasi ini, sebuah studi tentang: bagaimana seharusnya manusia memaknai pandemi ini adalah perlu dan mendesak. Pemaknaan atas suatu situasi, menentukan cara manusia bereaksi terhadapnya. Pemaknaan yang baik, membawa manusia pada tindakan positif yang membaharui. Sebaliknya, pemaknaan yang buruk berdampak destruktif bagi kehidupan. Faktanya walaupun pandemi telah berlangsung lama, penolakan terhadap keberadaannya masih berlangsung di banyak negara. Demonstrasi dan kerusuhan menyikapi penanganan pandemi terjadi dimana-mana, bahkan juga di negara-negara yang memiliki tingkat ekonomi dan kebahagiaan tinggi. Ini membuktikan bahwa pemaknaan atas pandemi yang tepat, masih sangat dibutuhkan. Untuk mencapai tujuan penelitian ini, digunakan pendekatan filsafat eksistensial pemikiran S. A. Kierkergaard sebagai landasan pemikiran. Penelitian dilakukan lewat metode studi kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dibalik dampak buruk yang ditimbulkannya, pandemi Covid 19 juga mengajarkan kearifan-kearifan baru yang dibutuhkan bagi perbaikan dunia di masa depan. Kemampuan manusia untuk mampu melewati dan menangkap pelajaran berharga dari pandemi, ternyata sangat dipengaruhi oleh sikapnya dalam memaknai pandemi. Sikap religius, dalam pengertian filsafat eksistensial Kierkegaard, adalah sikap terbaik untuk memaknai pandemi ini.","PeriodicalId":291777,"journal":{"name":"RERUM: Journal of Biblical Practice","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124605604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
