INTRODUCTION The author's .interest in the understanding of the church and its ministry has awakened his mind to a further investigation of the nature of the church. He found that the church is people who are not separate individuals but people who are a group, a body. As a body, the church is people in relationship. Before the church can minister, the church must be a body and, to exist as a body, the church must be in good relationship. There are reasons and causes for a good relationship to exist. Familyhood and brotherhood are causes for a close and good relationship. A reason for familyhood is that there is one Father, and for brotherhood, is that those who are brothers belong to the same family. Familyhood and brotherhood are causes and reasons for a good relationship. A good relationship makes unity, harmony, cooperation, participation, identity, and other good qualities of a group life possible. These thoughts have directed his attention to a cultural group life which is commonly practised especially in the Indonesian rural communities called gotong royong. The Task The purpose of this study is to investigate the possible relevance of the concept of gotong royong to church growth with special applications of its principles to the Seventh-day Adventist church (SDA)

Published for the first time more than a decade ago as a booklet in a modest cyclostyled shape by the Cultural Department of the Indonesian Embassy in India, it has been revised several times in Jakarta in the same form to keep up to date with new discoveries and current theories. Since it seemed to have filled a need felt by foreigners as well as Indonesians to obtain an elementary knowledge of Indonesia's past, it has been thought wise to publish it now in a printed form with the aim to reach a larger public than before.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Christopher R. Foertsch for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Anthropology presented on June 3, 2016. Title: Educational Migration in Indonesia: An Ethnography of Eastern Indonesian Students in Malang, Java. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ David A. McMurray This research explores the experience of the growing number of students from Eastern Indonesia who attend universities on Java. It asks key questions about the challenges these often maligned students face as ethnic, linguistic, and religious minorities exposed to the dominant culture of their republic during their years of education. Through interviews and observations conducted in Malang, Java, emergent themes about this group show their resilience and optimism despite discrimination by their Javanese hosts. Findings also reveal their use of social networks from their native islands as a strategy for support and survival. ©Copyright by Christopher R.

  • Hans Harmakaputra, Interfaith Relations in Contemporary Indonesia
    Key Issues in Religion and World Affairs Interfaith Relations in Contemporary Indonesia: Challenges and Progress Hans Abdiel Harmakaputra PhD Student in Comparative Theology, Boston College I. Introduction In February 2014 Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) published a report concerning the rise of religious intolerance across Indonesia. Entitled Indonesia: Pluralism in Peril,1 this study portrays the problems plaguing interfaith relations in Indonesia, where many religious minorities suffer from persecution and injustice. The report lists five main factors contributing to the rise of religious intolerance: (1) the spread of extremist ideology through media channels, such as the internet, religious pamphlets, DVDs, and other means, funded from inside and outside the country; (2) the attitude of local, provincial, and national authorities; (3) the implementation of discriminatory laws and regulations; (4) weakness of law enforcement on the part of police and the judiciary in cases where religious minorities are victimized; and (5) the unwillingness of a “silent majority” to speak out against intolerance.2 This list of factors shows that the government bears considerable responsibility. Nevertheless, the hope for a better way to manage Indonesia’s diversity was one reason why Joko Widodo was elected president of the Republic of Indonesia in October 2014. Joko Widodo (popularly known as “Jokowi”) is a popular leader with a relatively positive governing record. He was the mayor of Surakarta (Solo) from 2005 to 2012, and then the governor of Jakarta from 2012 to 2014. People had great expectations for Jokowi’s administration, and there have been positive improvements during his term. However, Human Rights Watch (HRW) World Report 2016 presents negative data regarding his record on human rights in the year 2015, including those pertaining to interfaith relations.3 The document 1 The pdf version of the report can be downloaded freely from Christian Solidarity Worldwide, “Indonesia: Pluralism in Peril,” February 14, 2014.

  • Historical Game of Majapahit Kingdom Based on Tactical Role-Playing Game
    Historical Game of Majapahit Kingdom based on Tactical Role-playing Game Mohammad Fadly Syahputra, Muhammad Kurniawan Widhianto and Romi Fadillah Rahmat Department Information Technology, Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology, University of Sumatera Utara, Medan, Indonesia Keywords: Cut-out Animation, History, Majapahit, Role-playing Game, Tactical Role-playing Game, Turn based Strategy, Video Game. Abstract: Majapahit was a kingdom centered in East Java, which once stood around year 1293 to 1500 C. Majapahit kingdom was the last Hindu-Buddhist kingdom that controlled Nusantara and is regarded as one of the greatest kingdom in Indonesia. The lack of modern entertainment content about the history of Majapahit kingdom made historical subject become less attractive. Therefore, we need a modern entertainment as one option to learn about the fascinating history of the kingdom of Majapahit. In this study the authors designed a video game about history of Majapahit kingdom with the genre of tactical role-playing game. Tactical role-playing game is a sub genre of role playing game by using system of turn-based strategy in every battle. In tactical role-playing game, players will take turns with the opponent and can only take action in their turn and each character will have an attribute and level as in role-playing game video game. This study used the A* algorithm to determine the movement direction of the unit and cut-out techniques in the making of animation. This study demonstrated that video games can be used as a media to learn about history. 1 INTRODUCTION only used as an entertainment, but also can be used as a story telling, and sometimes game also can be mixed Majapahit was a kingdom centered in East Java, with educational elements to train someone.

  • Susan Blackburn and Sharon Bessell
    M arriageable Ag e : Political Debates on Early Marriage in Twentieth- C entury Indonesia Susan Blackburn and Sharon Bessell The purpose of this article is to show how the age of marriage, especially for girls, became a political issue in twentieth century Indonesia, and to investigate the changing intensity, focus, and participation in the debate over the issue. Compared with India, the incidence of very early marriage among Indonesian girls appears never to have been exceptionally high, yet among those trying to "modernize" Indonesia the fact that parents married off their daughters at or before the onset of puberty was considered a "social evil." Social reformers differed as to the reasons for their concern and as to what action should be taken and by whom. In particular there were strong disagreements about whether government intervention was either desirable or effective in raising the age of marriage. The age at which it is appropriate for girls to marry has been a contentious matter in many countries in recent centuries. In societies where marriage was considered to be the prerogative of families, the children themselves were rarely consulted and the age of marriage, or at least of betrothal, was likely to be quite young, before children could exert their own will. Although physical readiness for sexual intercourse and child­ bearing was a consideration, this was a matter to be supervised by adult kin, and the wedding could, if necessary, be timed so that it occurred separately from the consummation of marriage. Apart from families, the only other institutions directly concerned with marriage were likely to be religious ones.

  • The Life and Work of Bernhard Nikolas Johann Roskott (1811–1873) on the Island of Ambon, Indonesia1
    The Life and Work of Bernhard Nikolas Johann Roskott (1811–1873) on the Island of Ambon, Indonesia1 Dr. Chris de Jong 1. Foreword An alteration in certain elements of a culture or the adaptation of a culture to changing circumstances is seldom attributable to the work of one individual, whichever way one judges these changes. All manner of forces and factors play a part, some perhaps less obviously than others, but together they form a network of cause and consequence, or rather causes and consequences, which it seems impossi- ble to disentangle. It is the task of historians, anthropologists and sociologists to unravel this tangled web, and to point out certain patterns which are fundamental in the processes of change which are being investigated. However, in spite of the complexity of facts and developments, it occasionally happens that one can identify a particular person who played such a significant role in a certain period of history that he or she merits special attention. Such a figure was the German teacher Bernhard Nikolas Johann Roskott, who from 1835 till long after his death in 1873 left his mark on the education of the indigenous population in the residency of Ambon. This essay is dedicated to this teacher, who was sent to the area by the Dutch Missionary Society (Nederlands Zendeling Genootschap, NZG).2 This essay begins with a brief sketch of the state of affairs in the Moluccas Roskott encountered when he arrived there in 1835. This is followed by a detailed account of his life and work. Finally I shall try to assess the signifi- B.N.J.
