Resumen: La portada Speciosa de la iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Estíbaliz (Álava) cuenta con una decoración vegetal sumamente rica y variada. Sin embargo, los investigadores que se han ocupado de su estudio han aportado visiones radicalmente opuestas, dividiéndose entre quienes consideraban su decoración como mero ornato y quienes apreciaban complejos simbolismos comprensibles sólo a la luz de los textos sagrados. Este singular caso de estudio nos permitirá reflexionar sobre el propio acto de historiar y sobre el modo en el que se relacionan las imágenes con el tiempo y con las personas que protagonizan cada una de las etapas en las que éstas son reactivadas. En un caso particular en el que no es posible conocer las motivaciones o intenciones de los constructores de esta portada, comprobaremos el valor de apreciar esos otros instantes en los que las imágenes son reapropiadas para un nuevo uso, estudio o interpretación.Palabras clave: iconografía vegetal, Nuestra Señora de Estíbaliz, historiografía, Ramiro de PinedoAbstract: The Speciosa portal of the church of Our Lady of Estíbaliz (Álava) has a rich and varied botanical decoration. The researchers who have studied it have, however, developed radically opposed interpretations, dividing those who consider the decoration merely as ornament and those who appreciate complex symbolisms connected with sacred texts. This case study will allow us to think about the very act of historicising and about how the images are linked with time and with the people involved in every stage in which the images are reactivated. In a case such as this, where it is not possible to know the motivations or intentions of the builders of the portal, we will appreciate the value of considering those other instants in which the images are reappropriated to give them a new use, study or interpretation.Key words: botanical iconography, Our Lady of Estíbaliz, historiography, Ramiro de Pinedo.

Many religions understand themselves as fundamentally aligned to a givenculture or people. Hinduism is intrinsically connected to the Indian cultureand caste system. Daoism and Confucianism are highly integrated into theChinese spirit and the cultural mentality of the Orient. Shinto’s cosmology,myths, and rites concern themselves solely with the Japanese. Even in theWest, Judaism locates itself with the people of Israel. Jews welcome converts,but Judaism has never seen itself as a proselytizing religion. Islamis convinced that Muhammad’s message is both universal and constitutesthe highest revelation. Thus, it is a proselytizing religion. But Muslims historicallyand today believe that non-Muslims can be saved in the contextof their own religious traditions, particularly if these are monotheistic.Christianity perhaps stands alone as a religion that has historically believedthat membership in the church is necessary for salvation. Add to this thatRoman Catholicism had believed that Catholic membership was necessary.As the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) declared, “There is only one universalchurch of the faithful, outside which none can be saved.” More recently,most Christians, including Catholics, think that God’s saving grace is availableoutside its ecclesial boarders, but this is a modern idea.What then to think of the religious other? In the seventeenth century,a Catholic had few conceptual choices. One was to consider religious othersand their sacred texts as valuable preparation for the gospel, and thusadmire what could be admired in them. They had something of what St.Justin Martyr called the Logos spermatikos, seeds of the Word. This includedthe principle of inculturation whereby European culture was not to beconflated with Christianity. This principle became policy, at least in theory, ...

Real Action

Welfare is the main goal that must be achieved in a government system. The government is also said to be successful if there is equitable welfare and is felt by the people under its government. To achieve this goal, of course, the government cannot walk alone. There needs to be a synergy from all parties so that there must be involvement of all parts involved in a government system, one of which is the church. The church is not just a religious institution that carries out a service program for church members. Rather, more than that, the church must take real action in realizing prosperity for all levels of society, both inside and outside the church. Therefore, the church and the government need to work together to become a driving force for the creation of prosperity that is coveted by all people. This study uses a qualitative method with data analysis of the GBI Torsina Case Study in the Olafuliha'a area, Pantai Baru, Rote Ndao. The implementation in this case study departs from understanding the background of Paul's letter to the Romans in Romans 13:1-7. The results showed that GBI Torsina built good relations with the government in the context of the welfare of the wider community in the Olafuliha'a area, Pantai Baru, Rote Ndao. Cooperation is carried out in the form of policies that are harmonized together for the benefit of the wider community.AbstrakKesejahteraan merupakan tujuan utama yang harus dicapai di dalam sebuah sistem pemerintahan. Pemerintahan juga dikatakan berhasil apabila terjadi kesejahteraan yang merata dan dirasakan oleh masyarakat dibawah pemerintahannya. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut tentu pemerintah tidak dapat berjalan sendiri. Perlu adanya sinergi dari seluruh pihak sehingga mesti adanya pelibatan seluruh bagian yang terlibat di dalam sebuah sistem pemerintahan salah satunya adalah gereja. Gereja bukan sekedar lembaga keagamaan yang melakukan program pelayanan kepada warga gereja saja. Melainkan, lebih dari itu gereja harus memberikan aksi nyata dalam mewujudkan kesejahteraan bagi seluruh lapisan masyarakat yang ada baik di dalam maupun di luar gereja. Maka dari itu gereja dan pemerintahan perlu berjalan bersama menjadi pendorong untuk terciptanya kesejahteraan yang didambakan oleh semua masyarakat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan analisis data Studi Kasus GBI Torsina di daerah Olafuliha’a, Pantai Baru, Rote Ndao. Implementasi dalam studi kasus ini berangkat dari pemahaman latar belakang surat Paulus kepada jemaat di Roma dalam Roma 13:1-7. Hasil Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa GBI Torsina membangun hubungan baik dengan pemerintahan dalam rangka kesejahteraan masyarakat secara luas di daerah Olafuliha’a, Pantai Baru, Rote Ndao.

The Simalungun Protestant Christian Church (GKPS) is a Christian Church of the Simalungun region initiated by the zendelling (evangelist) of the Rheinische Missionsgesellschaft (RMG), a German gospel preaching body as part of its efforts to spread the gospel to the Simalungun Tribe. Since the 1900s RMG established churches in Simalungun as part of huria Kristen Batak Protestant (HKBP) using Toba as the language of instruction. This independence continued until the HKBP congregation in Simalungun bathed itself into one district until finally totally independent to become GKPS and provide services for the surrounding environment in various fields (not just religious services). Of the many Protestant Christian Churches in Indonesia, one of them is the Simalungun Protestant Christian Church (GKPS) Resort Mardinding. This church is a place of worship and gathering of Protestant Christians. This church has many people, but not all tribes are in it. There are currently 423 KK. The provision of information to the people is currently still manual and still uses the announcement affixed to the notice board and also through the announcement from the church administrator who was in charge at the time of the service, this announcement could not contain all the necessary information. Researchers took a case study from GKPS Mardinding so that information systems can be developed using technology that is developing today, namely using websites to store information faster and more accurately.

In our article we propose a case study on the character of the veneration of neomartyrs of Sofia in the 16th century and a review of the related literature. We try to argue that the aims of their veneration were religious and political, and that these aims were attained through the exaltation of the Christian faith and the creation and maintaining of a historical memory. The direction of the intended results, however, is not anti-Ottoman, but anti-Islamic; the veneration urged to consolidate the Orthodox Christian congregation. It is to the people of the Orthodox confession, not to the national (in this period mostly “ethnical”) community, that the veneration of the neomartyrs was addressed. The strengthening of the congregation could be achieved excellently through the martyr’s bearing witness (having in mind that “martyros” means “witness” in Greek); the martyr adds holiness to the place and sacralizes the space of the city, and finally of the whole political milieu. The witness is not only the creator of sacredness, he is also a keeper of the memory of the past. The martyr is a champion because he / she vanquishes the foes of God through his / her martyrdom. As a champion, he is a reminder of the glorious past; as a victor, he is a Defensor fidei in the present. This is a clear confirmation of God’s power under different historical circumstances. These ideas directed at the restoration, but only spiritual, of the Christian Empire through the Body of the Church. This explains the absence of any overt opposition against Ottoman power. Therefore, we find here, in Sofia, a conception of Byzance après Byzance of the same type as we find in Constantinople after the fall of the Empire, when the Ecumenical Church adopted part of the Empire’s heritage.
