Abstract. The involvement of the church in social life outside the church is something that continues to struggle from time to time; the church, on the one hand, felt compelled to be involved in all aspects of life; on the other, it felt sufficient to focus on the spiritual dimension of life. Meanwhile, participation in the social domain is often articulated with religious mission activities that wish to win souls and increase the number of church members. This article aimed to present a theological reflection framework on hospitality in a Pentecostal perspective, as a spirituality that drives the participatory philosophy of Pentecostals in the public sphere, both socially and politically. The method used is descriptive analysis, with a literature study approach. The result is that the hospitality attitude of the early church in the Acts constructs a Pentecostal reflection of the participation of Pentecostals in the public sphere.Abstrak. Keterlibatan gereja dalam kehidupan sosial di luar gereja merupakan hal yang terus mengalami pergumulan dari waktu ke waktu; gereja di satu sisi merasa harus terlibat dalam seluruh aspek kehidupan, di sisi lain merasa cukup untuk memfokuskan pada dimensi kehidupan rohani. Sementara itu, partisipasi pada domain sosial tidak jarang diartikulasikan dengan kegiatan misi gerejawi yang ingin memenangkan jiwa dan menambahkan jumlah anggota gereja. Artikel ini bertujuan menyajikan sebuah kerangka refleksi teologis tentang hospitalitas dalam perspektif Pentakostal, sebagai spirtualitas yang menggerakkan sikap partisipatif kaum Pentakostal pada ruang publik, baik secara sosial dan politik. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif, dengan pendekatan studi literatur. Hasilnya, sikap hospitalitas jemaat mula-mula pada narasi Kisah Para Rasul mengonstruksi sebuah perenungan Pentakostal mengenai partisipasi kaum Pentakostal pada ruang publik.

The opinion from studies on religious aspects of senior high school Islamic club summarized in this paper is important considering as lately there is a stronger tendency that Islamic club at school has became a religious movement that is spreading inclusive religious social attitudes. At the beginning of its formation, Islamic club is expected to be the arena for development of Islamic religious knowledge and insight for students that are not sufficiently explored in the activities of Islamic religious education lessons in the classroom. The study used a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews as the main instrument in eight cities in Indonesia, and seeks like to see the social religious attitudes of Islamic club activists associated with aspects of Islam in social life, Islam in the political life of the state, and Islam in gender equality. The findings show that in general high school Islamic club activists are more open and tolerant in neighboring life, but they expect the Islamic system can be the foundation. There is also a tendency that high school Islamic club activists expect that islam can be the foundation of our state system, in which the Islamic system of government (Khilafah Islamiyah) is the best alternative on the democratic system that has drawbacks. High school Islamic club activists in high school tend to put women in a subordinate position of men in both the domestic and the public sphere.

Abstract In past decades, Catholicism in Brazil has emerged as a privileged theme in the Social Sciences literature, coming to be recognised as a key element in the formation of a "national culture". For the less affluent residents of the city, Catholicism constituted what Sanchis (1997) called “traditional urban popular culture”. Despite the abstraction contained in the notion of a "popular culture", Sanchis’ perspective has had wide academic repercussion. With the growing presence of Pentecostal Evangelicals in the public sphere, and the percentage of people who claimed to be “Evangelical” in the IBGE censuses since 1990, part of the social science literature began to reflect on the possible establishment of a "Pentecostal culture" in Brazil. In this article, I analyse the formation of a Pentecostal culture in urban peripheries. To this end, I consider that the increase in the number of Pentecostal churches and their devotees in these localities provoked changes in different spheres of social life. This article is based on empirical field research carried out intermittently between the years of 1996 and 2015 in the Acari shantytown (Rio de Janeiro).

The Russian Constitutional Experiment, 1906–1918: On the Relationship between Tradition and Modernity The revolution of 1905 turned the virtually unlimited autocracy of the Russian Empire into a constitutional monarchy. However, this experiment survived the fall of the Tsar in 1917 by only a few months and was obliged to give way to the Bolshevik dictatorship. This article investigates how far the failure of constitutionalism in Russia was due to the special circumstances surrounding the crisis of 1917, or whether it is better explained by the ill-conceived application of a notion imported from Western Europe that could not be grafted onto indigenous Russian traditions. The article discusses the competing concepts of Western-style parliamentarianism on the one hand and a ‹Russian› ideal of direct popular representation on the other (i.e. the ‹Zemskij Sobor› dating from the era before Peter the Great). It investigates the constraints within which the State Duma worked, and the social and political practice of Russian constitutionalism between 1906 and 1918, in order to analyse how deeply rooted constitutional concepts were in late Tsarist society. Special attention is paid to the following themes: the capacity of the Duma to address practical problems; the changing character of political culture; new forms of the public sphere and the growth of civil society; the relationship between parliament and the peasantry; the activities of both supporters of a parliamentary order and their right- and left-wing opponents; and finally the importance of ‹Russian›-style counter-proposals to ‹Western›-style constitutionalism during the crisis years of 1917/18.

This research focuses on women's efforts in placing themselves in the right position. In the midst of changing times that are so fast and open, women are faced with a feeling of dilemma. On the one hand, women are limited by traditions that always place them in the domestic sphere, which is commonly known as konco wingking. On the other hand, changing times or modernization has given women the freedom to enter the public sphere. Through moderation of the tradition, women in Paciran have managed to get out of their dilemma. They can maintain their traditions and identity as Javanese women and can create new traditions by accepting them as workers. Tradition moderation has also changed the meaning and view of the konco wingking tradition, which so far has only been considered a "place of origin" with its domestic role; macak, masak, manak, but also a "place of return" the tradition that becomes the foothold of women's life in viewing social reality; community, and family. This research was conducted on women working nguplik in a village in Paciran, Lamongan, East Java. Nguplik is the job of separating the ripe crab shell or skin from the meat to be sold and processed into food and cosmetics. Nguplik is carried out by individuals and or a group of women. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach, with the data collection process using interviews and observations. To analyze the data we used the theory of cultural sociology. The finding of this research is the acceptance of women as workers.

In this paper we analyze the position of women in the social life of the Toba Batak community, in influencing others to do something called a leader. In the context of such thinking, the author wants to see why women in Toba Batak have not experienced development in leadership and want to elaborate on the process of socio-cultural transmigration in Batak Bangso especially Batak Toba in political, social and cultural aspects, the majority of whose leaders are men. This paper uses a descriptive-analytic approach and with a qualitative approach. The results of the study mentioned that women experience gender inequality which is characterized by the occurrence of subordination (numbering) and marginalization of Batak women. In the field of politics, the ideal leadership is always measured from a men's perspective, so that the position of women is increasingly weak in their interaction with the surrounding community. Domestication and marginalization of women in the public sphere seems to have been exhausted and enjoyed by women because they are educated and live in a patriarchal culture by believing and believing in diverting religious teachings that are understood in a discriminatory way, and perpetuating women's alienation.

<p>ABSTRACT<br />The hoax phenomenon is a historical reality. He was born along with the birth of the era of information media freedom. Hoaxes are often damaging to a pluralistic society. History records that hoaxes destabilize harmony of a society. Therefore the hoax must be terminated immediately. This paper uses a textual literature study approach. Hoax phenomenon is placed in the tension between media idealism and media ethics. The scope of the discussion began with a review of some of the country's formal regulations, such as the Law that had been produced. For the author, state regulation of media life is an ideal condition (media idealism) where the state is based on its capacity to regulate what must be broadcast. The result is that ideal conditions do not always have an impact in reality. Many rules are violated in the practice of media, especially social media. So, there should be room to be filled in to overcome this gap, namely an ethical commitment as a normative necessity for social media activists. Law enforcement alone is not enough so it must also be equipped with other social capital, namely: the firmness of citizens' attitudes, are social media users to maintain the integrity of society. The integrity is possible by the determination of the social media community to ensure a truth of the message before it is broadcast to the public; Maintain the privileges inherent in each individual; Strictly separating the realm of private issues from public problems; Reveal a message that avoids lying, slander, and attacking others' personal motives; and full awareness that the cultural diversity of society is sensitive. All of these are referred to as ethical principles that must be considered as guidelines for living together as a nation.<br /><strong>Keywords:</strong> Ethics, Hoaxes, Social Media, Plurality, Regulation.</p><p><br />ABSTRAK<br />Fenomena hoax adalah sebuah kenyataan sejarah. Dia lahir bersamaan dengan kelahiran era kebebasan media informasi. Namun, keberadaannya seringkali merusak tatanan masyarakat yang plural. Sejarah mencatat bahwa hoax menggoyahkan kerukunan, bahkan perpecahan masyarakat. Karena itu hoax harus segera diakhiri. Tulisan ini menggunakan pendekatan kajian literatur tekstual, dimana fenomena hoax ditempatkan dalam ketegangan antara idealisme media dan etika bermedia. Cakupan pembahasan dimulai dari tinjauan terhadap beberapa regulasi formal negara, seperti Undang-undang yang pernah dihasilkan. Bagi penulis, regulasi negara atas kehidupan media adalah kondisi ideal (idealisme media) dimana negara berdasarkan kapasitasnya mengatur apa yang harus disiarkan. Hasilnya bahwa kondisi ideal tidak selalu berdampak dalam kenyataannya. Banyak aturan dilanggar dalam praktik bermedia, terutama media sosial. Maka, seharusnya ada ruang yang harus diisi untuk mengatasi kesenjangan tersebut, yaitu sebuah komitmen etis sebagai keharusan normatif bagi para pegiat media sosial. Penegakan hukum saja tidak cukup maka harus pula dilengkapi modal sosial yang lain, yaitu: keteguhan sikap warga negara, pengguna media sosial untuk menjaga keutuhan masyarakat. Keutuhan itu dimungkinan oleh keteguhan masyarakat media sosial untuk memastikan sebuah kebenaran pesan sebelum disiarkan kepada publik; Menjaga hak istimewa yang melekat pada setiap individu; Memisahkan dengan tegas ranah persoalan privat dari persoalan publik; Mengungkapkan pesan yang menghindari motif-motif bohong, fitnah, dan menyerang pribadi orang lain; dan kesadaran penuh bahwa keragaman budaya masyarakat adalah sensitif. Semua ini disebut sebagai prinsip etis yang harus dianggap sebagai pedoman hidup bersama sebagai bangsa.<br /><strong>Kata Kunci:</strong> Etika, Hoax, Media Sosial, Pluralitas, Regulasi.</p>

The text is about the issue theme of socio-economic activity of women in the text analyzes the issue theme of socio-economic activity of women in the Polish magazine “Twój Styl”. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the image of modern woman is a bit fuzzy. Typical woman is torn between the private and public sphere and forced (through social practices and effective gender stereotypes) into an attempt at the collision-free fulfillment of the social roles. The prevailing stereotype that woman are limited to the private sphere is the one of the causes of female disadvantage on the labor market. At the same time that stereotype creates an impression that woman in the public sphere is a rarity and if she’s ever managed to enter it, it was only possible thanks to the support of her male partner or by limiting her personal life.

One of the efforts to reduce poverty is through community asset-based empowerment, as has been done by the people of Pentingsari Village, Yogyakarta. Through the Pentingsari Tourism Village program, people who initially relied on income only from agriculture can now be more prosperous through village nature-based tourism management and the social life of village communities. Various development obstacles can be overcome by carrying out development stages. Therefore, the focus of this study is to determine the stages of asset-based empowerment carried out by the people of Pentingsari Village in 2008 - 2018. This study uses a literature study approach. Empowerment in Pentingsari Village shows a relevance to Christopher Dureau's asset-based empowerment theory. In this study, the findings of community asset-based development in Pentingsari Village from 2008-2018 include the six stages of empowerment. The implementation of these six stages has always involved the local community and has brought positive changes to the community. The implementation of the stage of studying and arranging scenarios (define), the stage of uncovering the past (discovery), and the stage of dreaming of the future are carried out continuously, with the role of the pioneer character being more dominant. After that, the asset mapping stage was carried out in a sustainable and sustainable manner, with the asset mobilization stage and the monitoring stage through routine forums attended by community members and village officials.

This paper seeks to reiterate the social nature of Pentecostal spirituality. On the one hand, Pentecostals have done very well stressing their evangelistic mission as intrinsic to Spirit Baptism. On the other hand, they have often neglected the importance of issues of social justice. Yet, Latin American Pentecostals have been calling for and embodying an integral Pentecostal spirituality that includes justice within the mission of the Spirit’s mission in the world. Focusing on various contemporary challenges raised by globalization in Latin America, the paper will present how Latina/o Pentecostal theologians are challenging the Pentecostal movement to engage the public sphere integrally.

The article situates the issue of the public sphere as a phenomenon that is historically bound and culturally specific. According to this point of view, the Western practices and the Western way of thinking about the public sphere appear as a historically particular way of dealing with the more general phenomenon which is the creation of a social bond beyond the family. Looking at the self-contradictory effects of the ‘modern’ Western public sphere, the question is asked whether the public association of self-interested or self-governing individuals might have to be theorized as a partial and insufficient solution to the social bond. A comparative perspective shows that it is not individuals but cultural forms that link people in the public sphere. They do so by providing a narrative basis of discourses and/or markets that in the self-understanding of modernity shape social life.
