In Indonesia, violence in the name of religion has occurred many times since the reformation began. The trigger is religious fundamentalism and radicalism that increases and affects intolerant actions, inter-religious conflicts and even terrorism. The Indonesian government has initiated religious moderation through the Ministry of Religion to minimise the negative impacts of excessive religious fanaticism. Christians, who are often victims of many acts of violence, should evaluate the religious practices that have been carried out so far. The mission of Christian evangelism has been a scourge that triggered anti-Christian sentiments, thus giving rise to the stigma of Christianisation. One of the most energetic Christian groups with an evangelistic mission is the Pentecostal group. This article aims to propose constructing the Pentecostal mission, which is rooted in the religious life of the early church as a mission model, through the discourse of their hospitality. The thesis is that hospitality, especially embodied by the early church, expresses a moderate religious way. Therefore, this mission is very suitable to be implemented by Pentecostal groups in Indonesia, which takes a theological locus on the Pentecost narratives in Acts 2.Contribution: This article addresses early church hospitality as a discourse of Pentecostal mission, especially in Indonesia. This article considers that hospitality can be a model for doing church missions in the frame of religious moderation in Indonesia.

“…Hospitality stimulated the equality (Rinukti, Siahaan & Putri 2022); this attitude can make differences accepted and respected. In arranging the jigsaw pieces by placing them side by side, as a metaphor to establish the church unity, the attitude of hospitality is mostly required.…”

Conflict is often colouring the diversities of theology, besides church divisions, especially in the Indonesian context. In minimising the conflict, adequate knowledge is needed to understand that the diversity of theology is the essence of church unity. Apostle Paul explained the diversities in church unity using the metaphor of the body of Christ. This metaphor is inadequate to explain the differences in theological teachings as the essence of the unity of the church, especially in this postmodern era. This article offered a jigsaw puzzle metaphor to quickly understand the nature of the church’s unity in its diversity. This puzzle is a well-known game type played by many people in various age groups worldwide. By using descriptive analysis and analogy methods, it resulted in an understanding of the description of the church’s diversity through jigsaw pieces as an essential element in forming a complete and perfect image, namely the one and universal church, by arranging each jigsaw piece according to the pattern formed as the blueprint. In conclusion, theology can adopt this metaphor as a discourse in establishing church unity in the ecumenical project.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: This article discusses the diversities of theological and dogmatic forms that represent every church denomination as the essence of the one and universal church. This study offers a constructive theological model to understand diversity as the essence of church unity in an ecumenical project.

“…Praktik ketidakadilan yang berawal dari sikap diskriminatif harus diakui masih menjadi warna yang merusak harmoni kesatuan yang hakiki dalam gereja. Setidaknya, ide kesetaraan dan keadilan gender yang masih disuarakan menjadi indikasi yang memperlihatkan masih adanya sikap diskriminatif tersebut (Rinukti et al, 2022). Kesatuan gereja bisa menjadi proyek yang mulia, mengingat itu pun yang menjadi doa dan harapan Yesus, namun niat baik itu harus mengekspresikan semangat kesetaraan, yang berimplikasi pada sikap yang tidak merendahkan sesamanya.…”

Kesatuan gereja telah menjadi proyek ekumenis Persekutuan Gereja-Gereja di Indonesia dengan produk Dokumen Keesaan Gereja. Narasi kesatuan tidak hanya sebatas pergumulan PGI, karena kegerakan ekumenis ini memotivasi banyak kelompok gereja terbentuk, berakar pada doa, yang sekaligus harapan Yesus, melalui narasi Yohanes 17:21 pada frasa Ut Omnes Unum Sint. Tesis dalam penelitian ini adalah, narasi Yohanes 17:21 mengadopsi sebuah konsep kesatuan perikoretik, sehingga frasa ut omnes unum sint harus dimaknai dalam bingkai relasi perikoresis trinitaris. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menunjukkan bahwa kesatuan yang dinarasikan dalam frasa tersebut merupakan kesatuan yang bersifat perikoretik. Dengan menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif dan interpretatif, frasa ut omnes unum sint juga berimplikasi pada narasi kesetaraan, selain diskursus kesatuan gereja. Kesimpulannya, narasi kesatuan gereja dalam frasa ut omnes unum sint haruslah berproyeksi juga pada semangat kesetaraan.
