The debate between the culture and religion in Minahasa invites attention. The culture considers the existence of religion as a threat and potentially could destroy indigenous cultural identity. On the flip side, the religion regards cultural activities as an ancient legacy that bears no significance to theological worldview and modern civilization. Adventism, a Protestant denomination that shares extra attention to food doctrine, performs inhospitality toward Minahasan culinary identity. Engagement to consuming animal’s flesh, and even extreme food such as pork, rat, bat, dog, cat, spices ingredients, cap tikus, and related festivals that involves potluck, however, against Adventist teaching. Therefore, this essay conducts exploration to grasp how Adventism teaching could perform hospitality toward Minahasan culinary identity. This research occupies a qualitative approach and equips journals, books, and other references to contribute to the tension. In conclusion, Adventism should define the culture as a social bonding and expression of Minahasa. Minahasan culinary identity is not a theological or religious concern; instead, it should be defined as a sociology reflection. By doing so, Adventism will able to perform hospitality toward the culture.
This essay attempts to portray the Spirit's personality to Minahasan Christian with its ancestral spirits tradition. Minahasan culture contains rich beliefs and rituals relate to ancestral spirits activities. This work prepares Minahasan Christian's practice such as kampetan, foso, mu'kur, and mumper together with the Spirit's personality throughout the Scripture. In the next stage, the Spirit's personality seeks an opportunity to engage with Minahasan Christian. However, intelligence, wisdom, and skill of the Spirit share possibility and constructive contribution toward ancestral spirit beliefs of Minahasan Christian. On the flip side, Minahasan culture openly receives works, characters, features, and impacts rather than a real figure and appearance of the Spirit. In conclusion, the Spirit's personality is not in conflict with the indigenous tradition. In contrast, it offers a new perspective and acts as a companion or partner of ancestral spirits tradition.
Agama Kristen menampilkan kearogansian dan superioritas terhadap kebudayaan penyembahan roh nenek moyang di tanah Batak. Hal ini menyebabkan pertarungan dan pergulatan antara agama dan budaya, selain itu ruang publik menjadi tempat untuk saling melakukan penetrasi. Pendekatan pendidikan Agama Kristen menawarkan pendekatan yang lebih ramah sehingga agama Kristen bisa lebih menunjukan sikap kolaboratif dan reseptif karena mengedepankan karakter, moralitas, kebangsaan dan multikulturalisme. Sebagai akibatnya, pendidikan agama Kristen bersikap antroposentris, memusatkan perhatian pada nilai-nilai luhur manusia dan tidak mempersalahkan kebudayaan dengan ketentuan dokmatika agama.

This finding could be a formula for other context and future agenda that could bring together education, religion and culture
