Carlo Crivelli’s work is dispersed around the world, but significant examples remain in the Italian region of the Marche. This article analyses the benefit of a collaborative approach between Crivelli’s exhibitions in the Marche to propose strategies that would follow a place-based approach and increase the attractiveness of cities and villages where Crivelli’s artworks are displayed. The paper analyses two case studies presenting different approaches to the Crivelli’s art works: the Museum of St Francis displaying the Triptych of Montefiore dell’Aso, and the Church of St. Martin Bishop exhibiting the Polyptych of Monte San Martino in the original location.

In areas of the world where animistic cultures are resistant to the gospel, a ministry of healing that demonstrates God's power is indispensable to the effective communication of the gospel and the growth of the church. Such a ministry touches the core of the indigenous worldview and is therefore an essential form of evangelism. Through four case studies, the author shows how evangelism coupled with divine healing has played a major role in the growth of the Tzotzil church in Chiapas, Mexico.

ABSTRAK: Fenomena pudarnya sakralitas bentuk gereja Katolik di seluruh dunia cukup merisaukan Paus Benedictus. Ternyata pudarnya sakralitas bentuk terjadi juga pada gereja Katolik di Indonesia khususnya Jakarta. Secara keseluruhan, permasalahan yang muncul dari fenomena ini adalah tidak terjalinnya relasi yang baik antara fungsi kegiatan dengan bentuk tersebut serta makna yang tampil dari relasi tersebut. Tarik-menarik antara kedua fungsi dan bentuk inilah yang kemudian dimaknai oleh manusia melalui pengamatan langsung bagi pengguna maupun pengamat arsitektur. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pertama, merekam fungsi liturgi dan bentuk pada gereja-gereja sebagai obyek studi  kemudian menggambarkan kembali secara rinci agar dapat dianalisis seluruh bentukan arsitektur yang ada. Kedua, menggunakan gabungan pendekatan sakralitas dari Eliade, Hoffman, Jones, dan Martasudjita untuk menelusuri seluruh fungsi kegiatan sedangkan untuk identifikasi ornamen dengan pendekatan Peirce. Sedangkan untuk menelusuri ekspresi bentuk digunakan elaborasi dari pendekatan arsitektur Salura dan Evensen. Analisis ini berlandas pada pendekatan strukturalisme yang menelusuri struktur-dalamnya. Ketiga, setelah dianalisa semua kasus studi kemudian diperbandingkan pada setiap obyek studi mana struktur-dalam. Keempat, interpretasi relasi kegiatan dan konsepsi sakral pada obyek studi. Kelima, menyimpulkan  bahwa pemaknaan relasional fungsi dengan sakralitas bentuk arsitektur gereja. Dengan demikian jika elemen sakralitas bangunan ini ada maka keseluruhan arsitektur gereja pada obyek studi dapat dikatakan memancarkan ekspresi bentuk sakral yang sarat dengan nilai ke-Katolik-an. Kata kunci:  Relasi, Fungsi  dan bentuk, Ekspresi, Sakralitas, Gereja Katolik ABSTRACT: The phenomenon of fading off form “sakralitas” of Catholic Church in the world has worried Paus Benedictus. Evidently, this phenomenon had been happened to Catholic Church in Indonesia, particularly Jakarta. Generally, problem has been occurred from this phenomenon is because there is no well relation between activities function with the form as well as the appearance meaning from that relation. The attraction between these both function and form, will be interpreted by people through direct observation for user as well as architectural researcher. This research will use some methods, firstly, will record liturgy function and form on the conducted churches as case studies then will describe in detail, thus could be analyzed all the existing architecture form. Secondly, will use combination “sakralitas” approach from Eliade, Hoffman, Jones and Martasudjita to explore all activities function, although to identify ornament will use Peirce approach. On the otherhand, to explore form expression will use elaboration from architectural approach of Salura and Evensen. This analysis will be based on to structuralism approach, which will explore the inner structure. Thirdly, after analysis process, all case studies will be compared each other on each study object which known as inner-structure. Fourthly, interpretation of activities relation and sacred conception on study objects. Fifthly,  to conclude the signification of function relational with form sakralitas of church architecture. Therefore, if this building element’s sakralitas exist, then all the church architecture on study objects could be said, they are throwing off the expression of sacred form which full of Catholic’s values.         Keywords:  relation, function and form, expression, sakralitas, Catholic Church

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to unprecedented upheaval throughout the world, especially for Christians who have had to drastically alter their practices in light of the disease. This review will examine how Christians throughout history have dealt with times of plague through several case studies, including the Cyprian Plague and the response of Geneva’s pastors to several plagues in the mid-sixteenth century. It will consider some of the lessons we can draw from these examples and conclude with practical considerations for how the church can respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Transparency And Accountability

One of the things that are often highlighted in the world of spirituality is a matter of sexual scandal. But lately, the focus of the spiritual world is financial transparency and accountability. Financial scandals began to arise in the Church, as was the case in the Protestant Christian Church of Bukti Doa Nusa Dua Congregation in Bali. The scandal involved clergy and even some church leaders. This study aims to describe how the conflict occurred because of financial scandals in the Church. The method used in this study is the Ontic dialectic. Based on this research, the conflict in the Bukit Doa Church is a conflict caused by an internal financial scandal. The scandal resulted in fairly widespread conflict in the various lines of the organization. It led to the issuance of the Dismissal Decrees of the church pastor and also one of the members of Financial Supervisory Council. This conflict has also resulted in the leadership of the church had violated human rights. Source of conflict is not resolved in a fair, but more concerned with political interests and groups. Thus, the source of the problem is still attached to its original place.

Both Pope Francis and Robert Schreiter recognize that the world has been profoundly affected by conflict, globalization, and the breakdown of relationships on multiple levels. They also assert that the Church must address these situations. The ecclesiologies of both Schreiter and Francis offer effective tools for this work. This article will examine several key, shared concepts within their ecclesiologies. Specifically, their understandings of the missionary nature of the Church and their robust understanding of catholicity prove to be key concepts in the Church's response to a world marred by sin.

In 1989, when the Cold War ended, there were six permanent international courts. Today there are more than two dozen that have collectively issued over thirty-seven thousand binding legal rulings. This book charts the developments and trends in the creation and role of international courts, and explains how the delegation of authority to international judicial institutions influences global and domestic politics. The book presents an in-depth look at the scope and powers of international courts operating around the world. Focusing on dispute resolution, enforcement, administrative review, and constitutional review, the book argues that international courts alter politics by providing legal, symbolic, and leverage resources that shift the political balance in favor of domestic and international actors who prefer policies more consistent with international law objectives. International courts name violations of the law and perhaps specify remedies. The book explains how this limited power—the power to speak the law—translates into political influence, and it considers eighteen case studies, showing how international courts change state behavior. The case studies, spanning issue areas and regions of the world, collectively elucidate the political factors that often intervene to limit whether or not international courts are invoked and whether international judges dare to demand significant changes in state practices.

AbstractAs a work of propaganda, graphics Austroseraphicum Coelum Paulus Pontius should create a new reality, make appearances. The main impression while seeing the graphics is the admiration for the power of Habsburgs, which interacts with the power of the Mother of God. She, in turn, refers the viewer to God, as well as Franciscans placed on the graphic, they become a symbol of the Church. This is a starting point for further interpretation of the drawing. By the presence of certain characters, allegories, symbols, we can see references to a particular political situation in the Netherlands - the war with the northern provinces of Spain. The message of the graphic is: the Spanish Habsburgs, commissioned by the mission of God, they are able to fight all of the enemies, especially Protestants, with the help of Immaculate and the Franciscans. The main aim of the graphic is to convince the viewer that this will happen and to create in his mind a vision of the new reality. But Spain was in the seventeenth century nothing but a shadow of former itself (in the time of Philip IV the general condition of Spain get worse). That was the reason why they wanted to hold the belief that the empire continues unwavering. The form of this work (graphics), also allowed to export them around the world, and the ambiguity of the symbolic system, its contents relate to different contexts, and as a result, the Habsburgs, not only Spanish, they could promote their strength everywhere. Therefore it was used very well as a single work of propaganda, as well as a part of a broader campaign

The Sri Lankan Ministry of National Coexistence, Dialogue, and Official Languages published the work “People of Sri Lanka” in 2017. In this comprehensive publication, 21 invited Sri Lankan scholars introduced 19 different people’s groups to public readers in English, mainly targeted at a growing number of foreign visitors in need of understanding the cultural diversity Sri Lanka has to offer. This paper will observe the presentation of these different groups of people, the role music and allied arts play in this context. Considering the non-scholarly design of the publication, a discussion of the role of music and allied arts has to be supplemented through additional analyses based on sources mentioned by the 21 participating scholars and their fragmented application of available knowledge. In result, this paper might help improve the way facts about groups of people, the way of grouping people, and the way of presenting these groupings are displayed to the world beyond South Asia. This fieldwork and literature guided investigation should also lead to suggestions for ethical principles in teaching and presenting of culturally different music practices within Sri Lanka, thus adding an example for other case studies.
