Abstract

Humans are social creatures, and pluralism is a necessity in human tradition and culture. Through culture, humans can live together, adapt, and inculturated according to the context of place and time. Gereja Kristen JawaDagen-Palur is one of the churches that develops local theology, in the context of contextual cultural inculturation. Kejawen culture in the land of Java is not an obstacle in interacting horizontally between people and the surrounding community but is also able to interact vertically through liturgical facilities that build human interaction with God. Riyaya undhuh-undhuh celebration is a form of inculturation in which church culture and teachings blend, building social togetherness and togetherness in worship in the church. The local theology developed by the Javanese churches, in this case, GKJ DagenPalur, became the starting point for the development of a very diverse cultural inculturation in Indonesia. Through this paper, it is hoped that studies of local culture will emerge, which can be studied academically. This study and research are also expected to be able to contribute to the preservation of indigenous culture which is the most beautiful and precious gift from God for the Indonesian people who live in a diversity of ethnicities, cultures, and languages.
