Peran Kreativitas dalam Penggunaan Media Alat Peraga dan Teknik Berhomili di Stasi Santo Bonaventura Situnggaling, Paroki Santo Fransiskus Asisi Saribudolok

Abstract

The creativity of church administrators in homily in Stasi Santo
Bonaventura Situnggaling Paroki Santo Fransiskus Asisi
Saribudolog became the orientation or concern in this research
because the Medan Archdiocese Church tried to educate the laity
through pastoral functionaries taking an active part, especially in
leading the celebration of the word on Sundays without faith and
giving homilies. This approach uses three techniques, including
interviews with informants directly with listening techniques, data
collection through observation, and supporting documents as part
of the documentation. The stages of data analysis began with
data reduction, displaying data, and testing the truth of the data
by triangulating techniques and sources. Efforts made with this
approach found two essential aspects of the creativity of Church
administrators in domicile, which are used as findings: (1) Church
administrators have creativity in presenting homilies, especially
the use of props, although not yet optimal, body language: facial
expressions, body gestures, voice intonation and dialogue
contact with the congregation. (2) Homilies bear fruit for the
faithful in this parish, such as churchgoers who experience a deep
understanding of the meaning of the word of God for life,
experience the presence of God in life now, and change life in true
repentance. People feel prosperity in life. However, many people
in this Stasi still have not been able to make homilies good fruits
in their daily lives.
