Membangun Teologi Ekologi dari Tradisi Memindahkan Hujan Masyarakat Halmahera
Abstrak
Penelitian ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi potensi tradisi memindahkan hujan dalam masyarakat Halmahera sebagai sumber pengembangan ekoteologi kontekstual bagi Gereja Masehi Injili di Halmahera (GMIH). Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif melalui wawancara mendalam dengan tokoh adat, pemuka gereja, dan masyarakat, observasi praktik budaya, serta studi literatur mengenai kosmologi lokal dan teologi ekologi. Data dianalisis secara tematik untuk mengidentifikasi nilai-nilai ekologis yang terkandung dalam tradisi tersebut dan relevansinya bagi refleksi teologis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa praktik memindahkan hujan merefleksikan pemahaman tentang keterhubungan manusia, alam, dan Yang Ilahi, serta tanggung jawab manusia dalam menjaga keseimbangan ciptaan. Berbagai simbol ritual yang digunakan merepresentasikan pandangan kosmologis masyarakat mengenai harmoni antara manusia dan lingkungan. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa tradisi memindahkan hujan dapat menjadi sumber penting bagi pengembangan ekoteologi kontekstual di Halmahera. Karena itu, nilai-nilai ekologis dalam tradisi lokal perlu diintegrasikan ke dalam refleksi dan praksis teologis GMIH guna memperkuat kesadaran ekologis gereja di tengah krisis lingkungan kontemporer.
