Abstract

The restrictions on physical interactions during the COVID-19 pandemic forced the church to look for ways to sustain its life and ministry. Finally, the church utilizes digital space, and every church member interacts with the other members online, even though they are physically separated. The basis used is the alignment of the sacred and profane dimensions of the congregation so that online worship can be implemented as a second option. However, the implementation of online worship has become popular and persists today, even though there is no urgency to limit physical interactions like during the COVID-19 pandemic. Online worship, once a second choice, is slowly moving to become the first choice. This article will explore the issue of online worship that correlates with digital ecclesiology. The basis used is the unity of individuals of faith converted into one metaphysical and concrete body. Society 5.0 also explores whether digital ecclesial life can substitute conventional ecclesial life. Therefore, this article will explore how the body of Christ can be converted into the digital world.

 

Abstrak

Pembatasan interaksi fisik selama pandemi Covid-19 memaksa gereja untuk mencari cara mempertahankan kehidupan dan pelayanannya. Akhirnya gereja memanfaatkan ruang digital dan setiap warga gereja saling berinteraksi secara daring, meskipun mereka terpisah secara fisik. Dasar yang digunakan adalah penyelarasan dimensi sakral dan dimensi profan yang dimiliki jemaat, sehingga ibadah daring sebagai pilihan kedua dapat terlaksana. Akan tetapi, pelaksanaan ibadah daring menjadi populer dan tetap bertahan hingga saat ini, meski tidak ada urgensitas untuk membatasi interaksi fisik seperti pada masa pandemi Covid-19. Ibadah daring yang tadinya adalah pilihan kedua, perlahan bergerak menjadi pilihan pertama. Artikel ini akan mendalami isu ibadah daring yang berkorelasi dengan eklesiologi digital. Dasar yang digunakan adalah persatuan pribadi-pribadi yang beriman, dikonversi menjadi satu tubuh yang metafisis dan konkret. Gagasan tentang society 5.0 turut diperhatikan untuk mendalami, apakah kehidupan gerejawi yang digital dapat menjadi pengganti kehidupan gerejawi yang konvensional. Oleh karena itu, artikel ini akan mendalami tentang sejauh mana tubuh Kristus dapat dikonversikan ke dalam dunia digital.
