Abstract

The present article aims to explore the contextualization of theology in the
development of the church in East Asia, focusing on the interaction between
the teachings of the Gospel and local traditional belief systems. The approach
used in this study is a qualitative method. Our findings in this study suggest
that churches in East Asia attempt to integrate fundamental Christian
teachings and adapt to local cultural needs and customs. The research found
that despite efforts to create worship that is more relevant to local cultures,
churches are still careful not to mix Christian teachings with traditions that
could undermine the core teachings of the faith. In addition, the research also
found that there is a difficulty in finding a balance between liturgical
innovation and maintaining the holiness of Christian teachings. Too much
adaptation to local cultural elements can lead to a loss of authentic Christian
identity, while too little adaptation can make Christianity difficult to be
accepted by society. To deal with this kind of conflict, churches in East Asia
have endeavored to develop theologies rooted in their local traditions. In this
way, churches in East Asia seek to create a deeper understanding of how the
gospel can interact with the social, cultural and spiritual needs of local
communities. One of the important findings of this study is also the
importance of active congregational participation in the contextualization
process. This congregational participation and diologetics help local churches
to be more sensitive to existing social and cultural dynamics, as well as make
a greater contribution in determining relevant forms of worship and teaching.
This includes the avoidance of practices that could lead to syncretism, i.e. the
mixing of Christian teachings with traditional elements that are contrary to
the Christian faith.
