By focusing on the issue of the Lord’s Supper, this article explores the contextual theological responses of three Protestant churches in the eastern part of Indonesia towards the Covid-19 pandemic. The article argues that discourses on the Lord’s Supper in response to the pandemic reflected the mission theology of these communities in terms of their beliefs (doctrine) and practices (rites, structures, order, community). Through online interviews and document analysis, the researcher discovered that churches made significant contextual transformations during the first period of the pandemic. The pandemic challenged these churches to make significant theological responses to fulfill their mission. They changed traditional rituals to adapt to distancing guidelines. In contrast to the belief in the importance of church buildings, the homes of church members were transformed into church-centers. Solidarity among congregational members was stronger than before the pandemic, with ways for members to contact and support each other from home.

改变主的晚餐:印度尼西亚新教徒对 Covid-19 大流行的反应

本文通过关注主的晚餐问题,探讨了印度尼西亚东部三个新教教会对 Covid-19 大流行的背景神学反应。这篇文章认为,关于圣餐以应对大流行的话语反映了这些社区在信仰(教义)和实践(仪式、结构、秩序、社区)方面的使命神学。通过在线采访和文件分析,研究人员发现教会在大流行的第一阶段发生了重大的背景转变。这场流行病挑战这些教会做出重大的神学回应来完成他们的使命。他们改变了传统仪式以适应疏远准则。与对教堂建筑重要性的信仰相反,教会成员的家变成了教会中心。会众成员之间的团结比大流行之前更加强大,成员之间有多种方式可以在家中相互联系和支持。
