Abstract

This is a study of liturgical inculturation at Gondokusuman Javanese Christian Church that arose from the clash of two cultures, between the West and the East, in the context of Javanese Christian worship. The purpose of this study is to analize the application of Javanese gamelan in their liturgy in order to revive the values of the local culture that was marginalized by false presumptions of Western missionaries in the past. This study uses qualitative research methods with ethnographic research design and interdisciplinary study approach. We found that the implementation of Javanese gamelan in their liturgy is able to raise cultural awareness and foster social and cultural values of spirituality, integrity, and aesthetics.
