YESUS KRISTUS SANG JALAN : KRISTOLOGI KONTEKSTUAL BAGI PENGHAYAT KEBATINAN KATOLIK

After His Resurrection and Ascension, the disciples tried to understand who Jesus really was. Thus, the formulations of Jesus as God, Son of God, Christ and so forth, came into their consciousness. These such formulations were growing in accordance with the particular social context in which the Christian faith was proclaimed. An attempt to find a formula of Jesus Christ in various contexts is what is known as the contextual christology. The emergence of liberation theology in the second half of the 20th century gave birth to the realization that theology always has a context, has a background and also deals with particular concerns. Therefore, christology as one of the branches of theology also needs to pay attention to the context. Contextual Christology for the Javanese Catholic mystics encourages the followers of Jesus Christ to always walk in Him. Given that He is no longer present in the earthly form, the presence of spiritual formation and mystical exercise in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ are to be pursued. This is where the role of the Holy Spirit, as Jesus promised helper, is present. In every prayer and mystical exercise of the Javanese Catholic mystics, the assertion in the Holy Spirit that Jesus Christ is the Way is experienced. The ultimate goal of all this is the full union with God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the House of the Father (cf. Jn 14:2)

Internet-Mediated Interreligious Dialogue A Study Case on @KatolikG’s Model of Dialogue

Internet-mediated interreligious relations could go in two directions: increasing the number of interreligious encountering with weakening process of religious exclusivism and lead people to religious fundamentalism and interreligious polarization. In the Indonesian context, the emergence of the Garis Lucu (Funny line) social media platforms allow a dialogical internet-mediated interreligious relation rather than the monologue one. This opportunity especially works in the relation between @KatolikG and @NUGarisllucu, two (unofficial) religious-based social media account that cover Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook Page. This study uses @KatolikG perspective on looking for several patterns of internet-mediated interreligious dialogue. The study finds three patterns of internet-mediated interreligious dialogue: doing daily dialogue, discussing sensitive issues, and doing social actions. Within these three works, @KatolikG contributes in sharing communal agenda and concerns that enable people to work hand in hand in supporting interreligious dialogue. Following the idea of Pope Francis to have ‘a greater discernment and responsibility for contents both sent and received,’ @KatolikG supports social cohesion among Indonesians in the context of Internet-Mediated Interreligious Dialogue

Komunitas Tritunggal Mahakudus: sebuah pembaharuan di dalam Gereja Katolik

Komunitas Tritunggal Mahakudus adalah salah satu komunitas Karismatik Katolik di Indonesia. Komunitas ini menjadi unik karena keberaniannya untuk memberikan beberapa kebaharuan, dalam bentuk hirarki kepemimpinan dan sel komunitas. Meski mengikuti spiritualitas Karismatik, tetapi mereka menolak menjadi anggota Badan Pelayanan Nasional Pembaruan Karismatik Katolik (BPN PKK). Sementara itu, anggotanya terus bertambah dan memberi warna baru di dalam Gereja Indonesia. Kemampuannya untuk menarik orang banyak menjadi anggotanya, sekaligus menjaga kesetiaan mereka dalam komunitas menjadi nilai lebih dari komunitas ini.Kata Kunci : Karismatik Katolik, Komunitas Tritunggal Mahakudus, Gereja Katolik Indonesia, Gerakan Pembaharua
