What must the church be in an age of diaspora? This article gives a glimpse of the twenty-first-century global diaspora, which has radically changed the context for the church’s mission. Drawing examples from local churches in Toronto, it casts a spotlight on the fruitful witness of migrant Christians and argues that the opportunity for renewal is ripe in cities where many diaspora peoples live. For those pained by the loss of land and community, it encourages local churches to stand in solidarity with them, striving to see communities shaped by the love of Christ—loving God and neighbor and looking forward with hope to his glorious reign.

Eucharistic ecclesiology (in its universal dimension), which underlies Orthodox ecclesiology, has at its core a communion between the Local Churches. In practice, it manifests itself in the mutual recognition between the various autocephalous and autonomous Churches. The head of a separate Church of the Universal Orthodoxy during the Liturgy commemorates all the leaders of other self-governing Orthodox Churches. Communion through the sacraments also happens between the Churches, namely, unity is manifested through communion in the Eucharist. The teachings of the early Christian author, Ignatius Theophoros, Bishop of Antioch, formed the basis of the local structure of the Church. The main principle of his theology is the unity of all the faithful of a certain territory around his bishop, that is, the common communion of all Christians in the Eucharist, which only the bishop of that territory is entitled to fulfill. The bishop, in turn, is a member of the "universal bishopric" and through it the local church is part of the one universal Church.

Abstract: This research is a qualitative study on abortion from the perspective of Christian faith. This research was conducted to provide academic arguments and scientific references for the Church against the rampant abortion practices and practices, especially in big cities including Jakarta. Using a qualitative approach, it is found that from a Christian ethical perspective, the act of abortion cannot be justified and chosen as an ethical decision because it contradicts or is contrary to the teachings of the Bible. Because God so loves human life and is even willing to send His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem humans from sin. So that humans are not justified in ending the life of an innocent and wronged baby just for practical reasons. Abstrak: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif terhadap aborsi ditinjau dari perspektif iman Kristen. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memberikan argumentasi akademis dan referensi ilmiah bagi Gereja terhadap maraknya tindakan dan praktik aborsi terutama di kota-kota besar termasuk Jakarta. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dijumpai bahwa dari perspektif etika Kristen, maka tindakan aborsi tidak dapat dibenarkan dan dipilih sebagai keputusan etis karena bertolakbelakang atau berlawanan dengan ajaran Alkitab. Karena Allah begitu mencintai kehidupan manusia bahkan rela mengutus Anak-Nya yang tunggal, yaitu Yesus Kristus untuk menebus manusia dari dosa. Sehingga manusia tidak dibenarkan mengakhiri kehidupan bayi yang tidak berdosa dan besalah hanya karena alasan-alasan yang praktis.

The church has the privilege of participating with God in his saving mission in a broken and suffering world, also known as the missio Dei (Bosch 1991:8–11, 390–393). This is its core, missional identity. However, many local churches are facing an identity crisis at their very core. The reasons are numerous. This article seeks to define, in a theoretical and theological way, the core identity of the local church and in the light thereof to explore two areas: (1) how the local church and particularly its pastor view the core identity of the local church, and (2) whether the identity of the local church is affected through the ministry of preaching – preaching that takes into specific consideration the aspects of hermeneutics and context. The research indicates that while the church may have an understanding of its core identity – certainly when it answers the questions ‘who are we?’ and ‘what are we called to be and/or do’ – it lacks significantly in its missional identity. Contributing factors are mentioned and remedial action is proposed.

This study was carried out to analyze the symptoms that arose at the time of the covid pandemic 19. The covid pandemic 19 caused an extraordinary crisis that shook social, political and economic life. Millions of people have been exposed and hundreds of thousands lost their lives. This caused panic, stress and frustration and in the lives of many people the church members were no exception. At the same time, there is a polarization in theological schools that are present in addressing this condition. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive method and literature analysis. The conclusion obtained that theological schools of thought is a reality that can not be nullified because it is the same age as Christianity itself. Therefore, what is urgent to do is a concerted effort to take concrete steps in dealing with this extraordinary crisis. And also the existence of a new theological effort in the midst of the enactment of "New Normal", because theology itself is the answer to the problems that occur in the middle of the world. Abstract Kajian ini dilakuan untuk menganalisis gejala-gejala yang timbul pada saat terjadinya Pandemi Covid-19. Pandemi ini telah menimbulkan krisis luar biasa yang menggoncang-kan kehidupan sosial, politik dan ekonomi. Jutaan orang telah terpapar dan ratusan ribu orang kehilangan nyawa. Hal ini menimbulkan kepanikan, stres dan dan frustrasi dan pada kehidupan banyak orang tidak terkecuali warga gereja. Pada saat yang sama, terjadi polarisasi dalam mazhab-mazbah teologi yang ada dalam menyikapi kondisi ini. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif dan analisis literatur. Kesimpulan yang diperoleh, bahwa mazhab-mazhab teologi merupakan sebuah realitas yang tidak bisa ditiadakan sebab ia ada seusia kekristenan itu sendiri. Oleh karena itu, yang mendesak dilakukan adalah adanya upaya bersama melakuan langkah konkrit dalam menghadapi krisis luar biasa ini. Dan pula adanya upaya berteologi secara baru di tengah-tengah diberlakukannya “New Normal”, karena teologi itu sendiri adalah “jawaban” atas persoalan yang terjadi di tengah-tengah dunia.

Indonesia consists of different ethnicities, cultures, religions, and beliefs. This diversity is a gift, but also a challenge for the Indonesian nation. Differences that exist often cause problems and conflicts between tribes and between religions and beliefs. In the midst of this pluralistic situation, the Church in Indonesia needs to develop inculturation in order to be open and to be able to make dialogue with every culture that exists in Indonesia, with different religions and beliefs as well as with the concrete situation occurring in Indonesia. This paper uses an analytical descriptive method to describe and analyze the concrete situation of the Church in its efforts to respond to socio-religious and political problems and challenges in Indonesia. It appears that the Church in Indonesia is very open and fully respond to every problem and challenge that exist in the midst of Indonesian people and society. This paper is expected to be an inspiration for the local Churches in developing its role to contribute to the development of the nation and the State of Indonesia, as well as to be an inspiration to other Churches in other parts of the world wherever experiencing situations more or less similar to the pluralistic situation in Indonesia.

Christianity exists within the different religious traditions and Christians are aware of this reality as part of their existence. Especially in Asia, this situation has become a basic context to Christianity and the local churches that requires continuous reflections. In Asian reality, religious plurality is not merely a particular situation, but an important stage in the life of the Christianity, which leads to further reflections and even questioning of its existence among the other religions. The Catholic Church in Bogor (the Diocese of Bogor), Indonesia, is one of the example how the church in Asia is trying to survive and to find its roots within the local context. Thir article is inspired by the Diocese’s vision, the documents of Vatican II, and other documents of the Catholic Church, in exploring how the “spirit of encounter” can become a model for the local church to continue to exist within the religious plurality. This spirit invites the local believers to have a committment in giving their attention to the their context and to their social dimension. Through the encounters, the local church attempts to reduce the gaps of communication and to preserve good relationship with people of different religious traditions. Here the church enters the interfaith experience or the experience of togetherness, and the spirit of encounter might help spread the image of the church as a church of relation.
