    KETUA: PEMIMPIN, MODERATOR, KONVOKATOR atau FASILITATOR

    There are no translations available.

    "Apa yang sedang saya kerjakan sekarang seperti melakukan giliran jaga, pada waktunya para pendeta harus siap untuk melakukannya"
    Pdt. Dwijanarto (Ketua Sinode dan Ketua Majelis Pekerja Sinode)

    ***************** oleh : Pdt. Kristanto Budiprabowo,M.Th*******************

     

    PENDAHULUAN

    Apa artinya sebagai ketua dalam organisasi gereja kita? Kita memiliki seorang Ketua Sinode (dalam pengertian induk organisasi jemaat-jemaat dalam wilayah pelayanan GKSBS) yang juga sebagai Ketua Majelis Pekerja Sinode (dalam pengertian sebuah forum pemimpin jemaat). Kita memiliki ketua Majelis Pekerja Klasis. Dan kita juga memiliki ketua majelis jemaat. Sebagian besar jabatan ketua ini dipegang oleh para pendeta. Dan ini sangat normal karena pendeta dengan sangat sederhana di identikan dengan pemimpin komunitas kristen, dalam jemaat atau dalam bentuk organisasi lain yang lebih luas. Sekalipun dalam hal ini, pemahaman umum yang diterima agak sedikit meleset dengan konsep tiga jabatan gereja dimana pendeta lebih cenderung berfungsi sebagai nabi daripada sebagai raja. Saya tidak hendak mendiskusikan konsep kepemimpinan gereja dalam konteks sejarah dan struktur gereja yang berlaku (berdasarkan Tager/Talak). Dalam diskusi ini saya hendak membahas tentang kepemimpinan dalam organisasi kita dalam pengertian peran dan fungsinya secara teknis serta hubungannya dengan menjalankan organisasi secara sosiologis. Tujuannya adalah untuk memperkaya pemahaman kita mengenai fungsi dan peran para pemimpin jemaat terutama pendeta dalam organisasi gereja maupun di luar komunitas GKSBS.

    KETUA, PEMIMPIN atau STATUS

    Dalam sebuah organisasi (formal atau informal) selalu terdapat orang tertentu yang memainkan peran atau memiliki STATUS sebagai KETUA atau PEMIMPIN yang diakui (baik secara resmi maupun secara terselubung). Dalam organisasi gereja orang yang dapat menduduki jabatan-jabatan di atas adalah orang terpilih menjadi Majelis Jemaat, yaitu orang-orang yang mendapatkan STATUS khusus dari komunitas jemaat yang berbeda dengan status kebanyakan anggota jemaat. Tidak semua orang yang mendapat status Majelis Jemaat sekaligus menjabat sebagai KETUA. Dan KETUA tidak selalu merepresentasikan atau menjadi wujud kehadiran dari PEMIMPIN jemaat. Hal ini memperlihatkan bahwa ketiga hal itu saling memiliki keterkaitan sekalipun tidak dalam arti yang sama.

    RELIGIOUS LEADER IN EARLY JAVANESE CHRISTIANITY

    There are no translations available.

    Kristanto Budiprabowo

     

    INTRODUCTION

    In this paper I want to discuss about the model of religious leadership in Java community in the early 19th century. At that century as seen in the figure of Prince Diponegoro, who led the war of Java, we know that he was not just religious leaders associated with the rituals and teachings. In Javanese culture which really upholds the role of charismatic leaders, the leadership has many implications. Leadership is directly related to political, cultural, religious and socio-economical affairs.

    I argue that the leadership of a Javanese religious leader in the late 18th century gains a strong legitimacy if it appears in the forms of relationships with various levels in society. It appearance may even be in various stages of human life materially and spiritually. Furthermore the leader needs to have a unique and varies credibility in each level. The leader should presence in the middle of the followers, in the midst of society, in the midst of political and cultural power holders which have distinctive shapes. It is not uncommon for religious leader also associated with supernatural or mythological figure such as the figure of the southern ocean queen, Merapi mountain ruler, and other divine power.

    The story of Sadrach and his community is the story of the important role of religious leaders in the context of rural Javanese society. Traditionally, as a religious leader he cannot escape from his function as a teacher (guru ngelmu) and his social position that automatically incorporated him as the middle class. But in his story, we can see that it is common for someone to change his or her name in order to strengthen his social position. Sadrach first name is “Radin” and then changed became Sadrach as a sign that he is Christian and he add the second name Surapranatha (who has the courage to administer) as a kind honorary degree at the new name (Partonadi,1990, p.71). Leaders need to have attributes that relate directly to the community’s hope that leaders will emerge and make community living a prosperous, safe, peaceful, and protected from all kinds of dangers.

    As a Christian who tried to preserve Javanese culture, Sadrach is a figure of leader who exactly know about the Javanese ideal of religious leader. In the context of unstable of social, cultural, and political situation, religious leader is challenged to give answers to the community needs. And vice versa, the religious leadership is made up of as much as cultural acceptance of new religious forms owned by the leader. The religious leader depends on the community cohesion and socio-cultural situation that need it.

    My theory is that charismatic leader in Javanese culture associated with his absolute experience, his perfection of cultural knowledge (ngelmu), and his ways to build the group and organized it. Seeing the story of Sadrach and the community he had built, I want to describe an alternative understanding of a small movement of the Christian religion in the late 18th century as a movement of religious independence. As every local religious leader who has the cultural independence even though he can be bound by particular organization. In the case of Sadrach we see that Dutch Church is his group mother organization. In short, when forming a new religious community, charismatic leadership is absolutely necessary.

    structuralism study of transmigrant community

    STRUGLING OF IDENTITY [WHO ARE WE?]

    Structuralism’s study on Javanese-Christian-Transmigrant Community


    Kristanto Budiprabowo

    I. Introduction

    In Indonesia there is a group of peoples who have an identity which its group’s named correlate with a government program which is transmigration. They are Javanese, Sundanese, Balinese, and Maduranese in ethnic origin who migrated sponsored by government and inhabited in another islands and provinces. Since the migration process placed them in the new region neighboring with local people, they add a new identity as a transmigrant.

    This paper would like to explore the consequence of the broadening understanding about ethnicity to a group of people called transmigrant. In the case of transmigrant people, ethnicity can understand not only as a national or regional identity but also as a group of people who only have a same background and history as diaspora (Hutchinson & Smith, 1996). They still practice their origin culture in small transformation with local culture and adapted their life style to the new environment.

    In this paper I would like to describe their identification about themselves and how local people see them. As a group of people who want to increase their quality of life, support by government not only in material equipment but also in psychological along transmigration process until their settlement, sometime they feel comfortable with their identity. In some political propaganda they appreciate as a national integrator agents, as a pioneer of national development. But in the other side their identity is such a burden because local people see them as unfair new comer or even as an intruder who come to grasp land.

    a. Thesis:

    The thesis of this paper is that the name of a community group (formally or informally) can derive from the great moment of the community experience. This great experience have been bound them up from difference ethnicity to be a new group of people in a certain system. As a great experience, the evidence of transmigration then, is not just a government program in national purpose but have a complicated relation in a specific structure. For certain transmigrant people, transmigration is a life narration have been changed their live in many things.

    The term transmigrant is like a name of an ethnic group. Their identity can only understand from the term transmigration which is a government program to migrate people. For them, transmigration is not just a name of program. Transmigration project has been create a new group of people that until three generation of them settled in their new region call as same as it program which is transmigrant people.
