Abstract

The Inkulturasi Pangururan Catholic church (GKIP) is a place of worship for Catholics in Pangururan City, Samosir, North Sumatera. The architectural and interior forms are results of inculturation of Catholic traditions with Batak Toba cultures and hence the meaning behind the building elements becomes a very interesting issue of study. This research uses the iconological study method proposed by Panofsky which aims to uncover the meaning contained in an object through a set of desciptional stages that concists of pre-iconography, analysis of iconography and iconological intepretation, in which all of the three stages are inter-connected. Pre-iconography aims to acquire the prime or natural meaning (factual and expressional meaning), analysis of iconography is to obtain the secondary/conventional meaning while iconology is to uncover the intrinsic meaning (symbolical meaning). The prime meaning that was discovered in the stage of pre-iconography reveals that the architectural and interior form of GKIP has simililarities to tradtional houses of Batak Toba, displaying the vernacular Batak Toba style. Meanwhile, the secondary meaning resulted from the iconography stage shows that the spatial and ornamental arragnement inside has undergone transformations, adaptations and even tiggered new meanings that do not exist in Batak Toba traditional houses. And last but not the least, the intrinsic meaning yielded from the iconology stage shows that the meeting of Catholic culture and Batak Toba tradition produced mutual enrichment through the process of inculturation. On one hand for the preservation of Batak Toba culture, and on the other hand for the expression of faith and trust of Pangururan Catholics in Batak Toba culture. Disclosure of this faith will bring changes to the Catholic church, from the Catholic church in the land of Batak Toba to the process of "Batak Toba-nisation" of a Catholic church. In this case, inculturation is the method or tool while evangelism to the Batak Toba people is the symbolic value.

Abstract

Huria Kristen Batak Protestant is the largest Protestant church of the Lutherian denomination in the Batak society that was historically formed as a result of the RMG mission (Reinische Missions-Gesselschaft) from Germany. Apart from evangelising, their missions also brought in the building typologies of RMG churches in Germany to their Batak land, which can evidently be sensed from the HKBP church in Pearaja, Tarutung, Sumatera Utara. HKBP Pearaja has thus been a typological reference for many HKBP church builders throughout Indonesia, including HKBP Surabaya, in terms of their architectural and interior designs. This research is a qualitative study using the descriptive method of analysis and the approach of semiotics. The approach was adopted by Charles Sanders Peirce and this has been combined with theological intepretation to discover the relationships between the signs and symbols observed in the altar of HKBP Surabaya. This apprach emphasizes on the process of Semiosis that has taken place in the design of the church?s altar resulting in the formation of icons, index and symbols in the overall arrangement of the altar. Icons appear to be the most dominant form of signs and thus it can be concluded that the supportive elements of the altar that consist of the altar table, cross, cloth, candle and the ??(Alfa-Omega) symbol possess iconic relationships with the church altar of HKBP Surabaya. These signs themselves convey the theological messages of: ?God?s Ark?, ?Holy Communion?, ?Christianity?, ?Law of Love? and the ?Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.?
