Abstract

The lifelong faith struggle of Christians who live as a minroty group, as well as a concern for the preferential option for the poor, constitute significant issues in Indonesia. When encountering such challenges, faith formation becomes an important instrument by which one may integrate the characteristics of Catholic faith in individuals and encourage concrete services within the local Christian community. For effective faith formation, Basic Ecclesial Communities (BECs) are a primary means of formative activity. To respond to ministerial needs within the INdonesian context, this thesis proposes a program of adult faith formation for BECs. The 'program' refers to the praxis of process of developing faith formation based on contextual needs. This process will enable the Church to play a significant role in shaping Christian identity for disciples and in forming evangelizing communities thorugh diakonia or service for the poor.
