The Dynamics of Church Life in the Global Era Towards Theological Equilibrium

Abstract

— The digital industrial revolution in the era of globalization where the church lives today is a challenge for church services, especially in implementing their theological views that must be adapted to the times. The essence of theology will never be rewarded. Still, the way and opinions of the church's theology in history have permanently changed; that's why the church needs to find the right formula so that its theological building today does not become a partition and wall between groups but moves in an increasingly unifying movement. as expected by today's millennial generation. The results of this study state that differences in theological views in the history of church development do not make the church better in carrying out its mission in the world; it is like building a wall of exclusivity in each group. The story of the era of globalization accompanied by many challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic in the last two years has changed the paradigm of the church in understanding theology. The pride of each pole of theology in the church has undergone a significant change. It has begun to meet in a new theological paradigm, or we call theological equilibrium, where there is no separation from one another but returns to the awareness of the church's unity, namely one God, one faith, and one baptism .
