The focus of this study is fashion as an issue in the discourses on popular culture. Fashion in this case is considered not merely a matter of basic human needs (clothing, eating, and living), but a meaningful cultural "text" and a "sign" of identity politics, moral value change, and spiritual preference. The moral theological response suggested here is the ideology criticism approach promoting the values of authenticity and simplicity, starting from the fashion practice of faithful communities. ABSTRAKFokus kajian ini adalah fashion sebagai suatu isu dalam diskursus budaya populer. Fashion dalam hal ini bukan sekadar suatu kebutuhan dasar manusia (sandang, pangan, dan papan), melainkan sebuah "teks" budaya yang sarat makna dan suatu "tanda" bagi politik identitas, perubahan nilainilai moral, dan preferensi spiritual. Respon teologi moral yang disarankan di sini adalah pendekatan kritik ideologis yang mengusung nilai-nilai keautentikan dan kesederhanaan yang diawali dari praktik fashion komunitas yang taat.

Abstract. The task of education is to present Christ in a new way for every generation in its culture. Pete Ward compiled a theological education guide for church renewal using a Liquid Ecclesiology approach as a combination of empirical and theological methods. It is called the empirical method because it is based on a concrete church experience. One such experience is church in the context of a multicultural society. In the multicultural theological education guide, there are five elements, namely contemplation, reflexivity, construction, and expanding fragments and editing expressions. Through a dialogue between the concept of multiculural theological education with the experience in the GPIB church, a new church is presented, namely a friendly, humble, and keep on learning to the world where the church is living.Abstrak. Tugas pendidikan adalah menghadirkan Kristus dengan cara baru bagi setiap generasi di dalam kebudayaannya. Pete Ward menyusun panduan pendidikan teologi untuk pembaruan gereja dengan memakai pendekatan Liquid Ecclesiology sebagai kombinasi antara metode empiris dan teologis. Disebut metode empiris karena berbasiskan pada pengalaman menggereja yang konkret. Salah satu pengalaman itu adalah gereja di konteks masyarakat multikultural. Di dalam panduan pendidikan teologi multikultural itu terdapat lima elemen, yaitu kontemplasi (contemplation), refleksi/perenungan (reflexivity), konstruksi (construction) dan menyusun proposal dan memeriksa tindakan (expanding the fragments and editing expression). Melalui dialog antara konsep pendidikan teologi multikulural dengan pengalaman menggereja GPIB dihadirkan gereja yang baru, yaitu wajah ramah, rendah hati dan terus belajar pada dunia di mana gereja hadir.

The keyword commonly used in mysticism and spirituality is "experience". The instilling of God's mercy, in fact, is a spiritual experience accosted by God's love. Such experience is shared in a transformative praxis. The mercy of God is a faith experience that could be made a meeting point in fostering a love-based religious life. In the Protestant tradition, we can fi nd a foothold for the development of spiritual theology on John Calvin's work, i.e. the so-called merciful spirituality. Today's experience of God's mercy is infl uenced by the contextual concern about the image of the Homeless Jesus. The refugees not only "challenge" Christian communities to recognize the Christ within the needy strangers, but also welcome them in love and peace despite religious faith differences.Keywords: experience, spirituality, mercy, Calvin, church as the mother, un-will people. AbstrakKata kunci yang umum digunakan dalam dunia mistik atau spiritualitas adalah "pengalaman" (experience). Penghayatan akan kerahiman Allah sesungguhnya adalah pengalaman spiritual disapa oleh cinta kasih Allah. Pengalaman ini berlanjut dalam tindakan * Pendeta GPIB.
