Mbaru gendang is a traditional-communal house of the Manggarai people in Eastern Indonesia. It functions as a sacred place, symbol of continuity over generations, and the center of a village. The house has become the home for the village heads. They have been responsible for maintaining the house, its relationship with the ancestors/spirits and ensuring the house's social, cultural, and religious functions. However, this previous study found some houses have become empty buildings as village heads had no longer dwelled in the houses. This research explored the causes and consequences of the phenomenon. It employed ethnography as the method with an in-depth interview as a tool for collecting the data. The study found several reasons why the village and clan head did not want to live in the house: living in their own house is more comfortable, private, economical, confident than living in the communal one. In addition, there are conflicts between families and a new agreement from residents about the house. Although this change has not been following the old custom, many parties can rationalize this change without losing their cultural identity. There have always been new negotiations and adaptations in the culture.

“…Many people wanted the old traditional houses, the original ones, to be rebuilt in the villages. The construction of mbaru niang Wae Rebo, one of the villages currently a famous tourism icon in this region, was a "first wave project" of this revitalization (Widyawati & Lon, 2021).…”

“…In addition to changing the conventional way of worship to online worship, the church must also handle the COVID-19 pandemic and overcome social problems that occur in society due to the impact of the pandemic. The church's call to be salt and light in a community must be carried out (Widyawati & Lon, 2020). So far, the church has focused on organizing worship.…”

“…An argument can be put across that the Catholic Church has shown a failure to completely observe protocols in times of pandemics. For example, the Catholic Church in the Diocese of Ruteng, Manggarai in Indonesia did not stop its gathering to celebrate the ordination of Monsignor Siprianus Hormat (Widyawat and Lon, 2020). The celebration continued despite the WHO clearly indicating, a few days before, that COVID-19 was a deadly pandemic and had to be contained (Widyawat and Lon, 2020).…”

This study is a critical assessment of how the Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Durban has navigated through COVID-19. The researcher selected Our Lady of Good Health Parish in the Archdiocese Durban to see how it responded to the pandemic from the time of its discovery in March 2020 to the time restrictions were lifted in April 2021. This study argues that Our Lady of Good Health Parish responded appropriately to the pandemic by implementing all the regulations that were promulgated by the government and the Catholic Church itself. The research followed a qualitative approach, and data was collected through interviews from 12 respondents from Our Lady of Good Health Parish. The primary data was analysed thematically. The study found that there were both positive and negative consequences that arose because of COVID-19, most of the congregants had been impacted and had to alter their church routine. There was a huge decrease in the attendance levels at the Catholic Church, the Parish had implemented social distancing measures, there was a loss of the essence of the church, there was an online church sermon trend adopted and sacraments could not be replaced with phones or online services. The study recommends that the Parish must identify workable and practical strategies to enhance the return of the faithful to the Church, involve its faithful and many other stakeholders of interest in the making of plans for how they can go forward as a church, must observe and learn from other congregations, and must ensure that they take the COVID-19 epidemic as a lesson that would inform other crises in the future. The research recommends that studies must be carried out to help the faithful on how to deal with the negative consequences of not physically attending church during pandemics such as Covid-19. Such studies would provide ways of promoting church attendance after the pandemic since several faithful still find it difficult to return to church.
