Amidst Indonesia's pluralistic yet friction-prone religious landscape, the idea of religious moderation is crucial. This article presents a theological and practical model for the church to make substantive contributions to this agenda. Building on an exegetical-hermeneutical reading of Hebrews 13:2, this article argues that the practice of hospitality toward "strangers" is central to Christian faith identity and can be translated into a "churching model" that promotes religious moderation. Using qualitative literature studies, this article discusses the theological foundations of hospitality, connects them with the pillars of religious moderation, formulates a dialogical and diaconal model of churching, and identifies its practical implications and challenges. The result is a contextual ecclesiology that transforms the church from an inward-focused entity into an embracing community that provides grace to others, regardless of differences in religious identity.
Abstrak
Di tengah lanskap keagamaan Indonesia yang plural namun rentan terhadap friksi, gagasan moderasi beragama menjadi krusial. Artikel ini menawarkan sebuah model teologis-praktis bagi gereja untuk berkontribusi secara substantif dalam agenda tersebut. Berangkat dari pembacaan eksegetis-hermeneutis terhadap Ibrani 13:2, artikel ini berargumen bahwa praksis hospitalitas (keramahan) terhadap "orang asing" merupakan inti dari identitas iman Kristen yang dapat diterjemahkan menjadi sebuah "model menggereja" yang promotif terhadap moderasi beragama. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif studi literatur, artikel ini mendiskusikan landasan teologis hospitalitas, mengkoneksikannya dengan pilar-pilar moderasi beragama, merumuskan sebuah model menggereja yang dialogis dan diakonis, serta mengidentifikasi implikasi praktis maupun tantangannya. Hasilnya adalah sebuah tawaran eklesiologi kontekstual yang mentransformasikan gereja dari entitas yang berfokus ke dalam menjadi komunitas yang merangkul dan menjadi rahmat bagi sesama, terlepas dari perbedaan identitas keagamaan.
