Abstract: The current environmental crisis is a global problem that needs to be considered by various parties, including the church. As imago Dei man should take care of and preserve the earth according to God's purposes. But the reality is that humans use it and exploit nature for their own benefit. The erroneous paradigm of an environment in which man feels superior to other creations, giving rise to the uncontrolled exploitation of nature needs to be straightened out. One of them is by applying a new paradigm, namely the environment as the other. The environment as the other invites everyone to look at the environment as a neighbor who comes with his own uniqueness. Thus his presence encourages us to take responsibility for the safety and preservation of the environment, not instead of being masters of the environment. The Church becomes part of environmental conservation, this is displayed in concrete action by actively voicing an environmentally friendly lifestyle and simple life. The purpose of this paper is to understand Emmanuel Levinas' concept of thought about The Other and its implications in environmental conservation efforts. The research method used in this research is qualitative research using the library research. Keywords: Environment, The Other, imago Dei, ecological crisis, Environmental Conservation   Abstrak: Krisis lingkungan dewasa ini menjadi masalah global yang perlu diperhatikan oleh berbagai pihak tak terkecuali gereja. Sebagai imago Dei seharusnya manusia menjaga dan memelihara bumi sesuai dengan maksud Allah. Namun kenyataannya manusia malah memanfaatkannya serta mengeksploitasi alam demi keuntungan sendiri. Paradigma yang keliru mengenai lingkungan dimana manusia merasa lebih superior dari ciptaan yang lain sehingga menimbulkan tindakan ekploitasi alam dengan tidak terkendali perlu diluruskan. Salah satunya dengan menerapkan paradigma baru yakni lingkungan sebagai sang liyan. Lingkungan sebagai sang liyan mengajak setiap orang untuk memandang lingkungan sebagai sesamanya yang hadir dengan keunikannya sendiri. Dengan demikian kehadirannya mendorong kita untuk bertanggung jawab atas keselamatan dan pelestarian lingkungan, bukan sebaliknya menjadi tuan atas lingkungan. Gereja menjadi bagian dalam pelestarian lingkungan, hal ini dinampakkan dalam tindakan nyata dengan aktif menyuarakan pola hidup yang ramah lingkungan dan berspiritualitas ugahari. Oleh karena itu tulisan ini bertujuan untuk memahami gagasan konsep pemikiran Emmanuel Levinas tentang Sang Liyan dan implikasinya dalam upaya pelestarian lingkungan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan library research (study kepustakaan). Kata Kunci: Lingkungan, Sang Liyan, imago Dei, Krisis Ekologi, Pelesatrian Lingkungan

Abstrak: Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk meninjau secara kritis mengenai bagaimana situasi keberagaman yang muncul dalam perubahan sosial yang terjadi karena pandemi Covid-19 ini. Agama berperan penting dalam perubahan sosial. Agama juga dipandang sebagai suatu alat perubahan dalam masyarakat. Tulisan ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dan kajian pustaka dengan cara penulis sumber yang berkaitan dengan tulisan ini, kemudian penulis bisa mendeskripsikan bahwa perubahan sosial yang diakibatkan oleh Agama pada saat terjadinya pandemi Covid-19. Keberagamaan dalam perubahan sosial Covid-19 ini telah membuat umat beragama meninggalkan kebiasaan mereka dalam menjalani ajaran-ajaran beragama sebelum pandemi Covid-19 ini menerkam Indonesia. Fenomena pandemi Covid-19 sedang menimpah hampir seluruh dunia sehingga dampaknya membuat manusia membatasi diri atau tidak beraktivitas dengan manusia lainnya. Akhirnya, manusia yang memiliki Agama tidak bisa lagi membuat ibadah dan mengadakan acara/kegiatan yang dapat megumpulkan banyak orang, karena dengan adanya batasan tersebut akan menimbulkan pola keberagaman yang lebih mudah juga dapat meminimalisir terkena pandemi Covid-19 tersebut.

This paper aims to examine and describe the nature of dedicated Christian leadership and to explore the essential elements of servanthood leadership. To serve is one of the most basic substances of Jesus' work. The problem of Christian leadership today is when leaders lose the character of Christ and are trapped in manipulating the name of Christianity or the church for the sake of his/her power. Methodically, this research refers to the leadership patterns of figures in the Old and New Testaments, with the support of literature studies that discuss Christian leadership discourse.  Jesus displaying his leadership as a critique towards the misgovern leader who can only tells order, same as the authoritarian leadership, those who reigning over the official or government employee by own wish or merely by his/her desire. If so, it means that the leader's character humiliates even corrupts his/her own leadership. In all conscience, the leader is a minister to his/her follower's needs; to serve with love, humility, and forgiveness. The result of this study emphasizes that Christian leaders who want to grow up should simply be like Jesus, great leaders originally ought to serve others first, thus in plain reality, the core of his/her leadership will be visible in greatness.   Tulisan ini hendak mengkaji dan menguraikan hakikat kepemimpinan Kristen yang mengabdi, dan mencari tahu unsur esensial dari kepemimpinan yang mengabdi. Mengabdi/melayani adalah sebuah unsur yang sangat mendasar dalam kepemimpinan Yesus. Problem kepemimpinan Kristen masa kini adalah ketika pemimpin kehilangan karakter Kristus, dan justru terjebak mengatasnamakan kekristenan dan gereja untuk kepentingan kekuasaan. Secara metodik, penelitian ini merujuk pola kepemimpinan tokoh dalam Perjanjian Lama dan Perjanjian Baru, dengan dukungan studi kepustakaan yang membahas wacana kepemimpinan Kristen. Yesus memberikan kritik pada kepemimpinan yang bersifat memerintah pengikut, menempatkan pimpinan sebagai bos yang harus selalu diikuti perkataan dan kehendaknya dan tidak memberikan teladan benar. Karakter pemimpin yang demikian merusak dan merendahkan wibawa eksistensi dari kepemimpinan. Seorang pemimpin adalah pelayan bagi pengikutnya. Melayani dgn kasih dan pengampunan. Hasil pengkajian ini menandaskan bahwa seharusnya pemimpin Kristen yang mau besar, mula-mula harus melayani orang lain, dan bahwa kenyataan yg sederhana ini merupakan inti kebesaran-Nya sebagai seorang pemimpin

This paper aims at elucidating the meaning of economic works from the Scripture, the Christian Bible’s Wisdom Books. Making use of the hermeneutics approach, more particular of Gadamer’s theoretical framework, this paper is to dialogue the meaning of economic works in the past with the modern’s perspective of works. Eventually, there had been a similarity between both meanings of works biblical-based and modern one i.e. if human being wants to be wealthy and meaningful person, in the theological perspective, should make it harmony between a hard and diligent works with the tenets of faith to God. It is based on such an idea, the church could and enabled to develop a theology or ethics of works particularly in the field of economic.

Individual personality development is influenced by various factors, there are internal factors and external factors. This paper aims to determine whether a unique life experience, namely suffering, can influence the formation of a person's personality. This study uses a biblical study approach to the story of Job in the book of Ayub with a narrative interpretation method and also uses a literature study approach. It is evident that unpleasant life experiences such as the suffering that befell Job do not change Job's good personality. Job was a godly and honest man; fear Allah and shun evil; a person of sincerity or integrity; an optimist; a generous person; and a man who is loyal to his wife

Death is a reality that every human being must experience. In death all human power and effort during his life becomes terminated, meaningless and death stops everything. Even so, humans believe in themselves there is something that is not affected by death, namely the soul, so that only the body experiences death. Whether influenced by philosophical thinking or traditional views. The dead body and the immortal soul contain the notion of a soul containing divine elements. The description in this paper focus on understanding death as a whole using a metaphysical anthropology approach. With the research method of literature study and cursory observations, the result show that humans die completely and live completely. Humans experience death in both body and soul. However, on the other hand, in personal relationships with others, it is found that the body and soul remain intact in the memories of others, even though someone’s person has died. The concept og human death as a whole, in the view of metaphysical anthropology, has similarities with complete death, is the recognition of the Toraja church.   Keywords: Death, Body, Spirit, Metaphysical Anthropology, Wholeness and Unity.
