Inculturation of Christian Faith, Javanese Culture, Vincentian Mission, Pohsarang ChurchAbstract
Faith and culture are two crucial points of more intensive concern to the Church today in its mission. The Church has an interest in proclaiming the Gospel to all the world. However, the Church must pay attention to human culture if its proclamation is to be well received. Inculturation is, therefore, a decisive process in the mission of the Church because faith and Christianity must be rooted in the local culture and become an integral part of the identity of the local people. As missionaries, the Vincentians contribute to the mission of the Church. This article does not discuss the theory of inculturation, but rather how efforts of inculturation are carried out in missionary praxis. Using the historical ecclesiological method and reflection on the Vincentian charism, it shows, on the one hand, the inculturation efforts in the mission of the Church, which the Dutch Vincentian in Indonesia has carried out in the past, and on the other hand, it is reflected in the deepening of Vincentian spirituality.
