Abstract:
Abstract Pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) has been continuously aligning its educational system with the needs of society and the times. The development of pesantren is inseparable from the role of kiai in carrying out the institutional transformation. This study focuses on transformational leadership of the kiai in developing the pesantren institution. The results of this study indicate that the concept of developing pesantren is transcultural with the principle of "accepting a new good culture and preserving the old one that is still relevant", based on the vision and mission, directed at an integrative education system which combines the mind and heart traditions using rational domain and spirituality in order to achieve worldly (profanistic) and ukhrawi (sacralistic) goals; transformational leadership styles of a kiai include idealized influence behavior, inspirational inspiration, intellectual stimulation, individual consideration, and individual spiritual greatness; and the implications of transformational leadership include two dimensions, namely the human resources and institutional resources. Therefore, this leadership can be said to be prophetic transformational leadership with the addition of individual spiritual greatness (Five I'S). Keywords: Kiai, Transformational Leadership, and Pesantren Abstrak: Pesantren secara kontinu menyelaraskan sistem kependidikannya dengan kebutuhan masyarakat serta perkembangan zaman. Pengembangan pesantren tidak terlepas dari peran kiai dalam melakukan transformasi kelembagaan. Penelitian ini memfokuskan pada kepemimpinan transformasional kiai dalam mengembangkan kelembagaan pesantren. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa konsep pengembangan pesantren bersifat transkultural dengan prinsip “menerima budaya baru yang baik dan melestarikan budaya lama yang masih relevan”, berpijak pada visi dan misi, diarahkan pada sistem pendidikan integratif yang memadukan antara tradisi akal dan hati menggunakan domain rasional dan spiritualitas untuk mencapai tujuan yang bersifat duniawi (profanistik) dan ukhrawi (sakralistik); gaya kepemimpinan transformasional kiai meliputi perilaku idealized influence, inspirational inspiration, intellectual stimulation, individual consideration, dan individual spiritual greatness; dan implikasi kepemimpinan transformasional meliputi dua dimensi, yaitu dimensi sumberdaya manusia dan kelembagaan. Karenanya, kepemimpinan ini dapat dikatakan kepemimpinan transformasional profetik dengan penambahan individual spiritual greatness (Five I’S). Kata Kunci: Kiai, Kepemimpinan Transformasional, dan Pesantren

Abstract:
This research was conducted to investigate the process of spirituality values in the counselling process carried by counsellors to students of Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Ummah Kota Gede Yogyakarta. The urgency of this study is according to the facts in which show that Guidance and Counselling is considered as something that is scary,shunned and becomes an enemy to students. This condition occurs because the majority of Counselling Guidance in schools are considered as school police, lawyers, guardians of the rules and courts for sanctioned students. This qualitative research was conducted by interviewing and observing counselling teachers at the Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Ummah regarding spirituality values in its implementation. Based on the results of the analysis, Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Ummah has unconsciously practiced spirituality values in the Guidance and Counselling process by conducting classical counselling services such as providing understanding and socialization about Guidance and Counselling, learning motivation, inspirational stories (role models). Besides that, the Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Ummah also teaches values and spirituality by commanding students to read the Asmaul Husna, and dhikr at every morning to strengthen their piety and characteristic.

Abstract This article constructs political theology for Pentecostals in a multi-ethnic and multi-religious country like Indonesia that can become a basis for their spirituality engaging in public affairs. The study is conducted on Isa. 42.1–9 according to Vernon K. Robbins’ socio-rhetoric criticism method. The results of the study show that the servant, who was anointed by the Spirit of God, became an agent to carry out the mission of liberation for all humankind from social injustice and of striving for social transformation as well. His work was ultimately regarded as God’s superiority over idols, therefore bringing praise to God. The Spirit encourages people of the Spirit to always work on missions, liberating from social injustice and transforming social structure. Any work produced could be considered as a participation in the Spirit’s inspirational work, and doxology is a way of discerning the Spirit’s work.

Abstract:
Leadership is an instrument to achieve the vision, mission, goals, targets, and success of an organization, so we need a good leadership. With good leadership a leader can achieve goals and be able to manage conflicts / obstacles that may occur in the leadership process. From this problem the authors conducted an analysis of the concept of Nehemiah's leadership, because Nehemiah was a leader who was able to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem that had been damaged. The author analyzes the biblical texts and various literatures relevant to the topic. The analysis shows that Nehemiah's leadership is visionary and inspirational leadership. The leadership is relevant to the management of Christian Religious Colleges in Indonesia (PTKKI) because it is built on the foundation of true spirituality, guided by a clear vision, a good management process. Kepemimpinan merupakan instrumen untuk mencapai visi, misi, tujuan, target, dan kesuksesan suatu organisasi, sehingga diperlukan sebuah kepemimpinan yang baik. Dengan kepemimpinan yang baik seorang pemimpin dapat mencapai tujuan serta mampu memanajemeni konflik/rintangan yang mungkin terjadi dalam proses kepemimpinan itu. Dari masalah tersebut penulis melakukan analisis terhadap konsep kepemimpinan Nehemia, karena Nehemia merupakan tokoh pemimpin yang mampu membangun kembali tembok Yerusalem yang telah rusak. Penulis melakukan analisis pustaka terhadap teks Alkitab dan berbagai literatur yang relevan dengan topik tersebut. Dari hasil analisis tampak jika kepemimpinan Nehemia adalah kepemimpinan yang visioner dan inspiratif. Kepemimpinan tersebut relevan dengan pengelolaan Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Kristen di Indonesia (PTKKI) karena dibangun di atas dasar spiritualitas yang benar, dituntun oleh visi yang jelas, dan proses manajemen yang baik.

Abstract:
Leadership is very important for the process of school improvement and implementation in the context of education (Colton, 2016). The purpose of this research was to determine the impact of principal transformational leadership that has been practiced in four main dimensions on the teacher‟s self-efficacy. Four dimensions of transformational leadership will be emphasized in this research such as idealized influence, individualistic consideration, intellectual stimulation, and inspirational motivation. The research problem of this research is how leadership practices practiced by leaders can improve the effectiveness of teachers in teaching needs to be addressed (Siti Noor Ismail et al., 2018). This issue has been supported by Dronnen-Schmidt (2014) about whether some strength in leader characteristics can predict a leader‟s transformational leadership style related to self-efficacy. Teachers with high self-efficacy should be studied to determine if having the possibility of spirituality is an important factor in why teachers believe that they are effective (Barsh, 2017). Therefore, this research is important to conduct because it focuses on the preschool context. Keywords: Transformational Leadership, Private Preschool, Self-efficacy, Principal

Abstract:
The recent interest in reconstructing the history of spirituality and religious belief is nowhere more welcome than in the history of Roman Catholicism in the United States. From the very point of its emergence as a recognizable subdiscipline at the turn of the century and lasting into very recent scholarship, American Catholic history has been a relentlessly “topdown”affair. It focused on the leaders of the church—almost all of them white males—and on official church institutions. Episcopal biography was the preferred form and, as often as not, “progress” was the theme: the hierarchy established itself steadily along the advancing frontier; populations of clergy, religious, and laity all increased heroically; immigrants once despised were transformed into the American mainstream. There was even an inspirational final chapter to the tale, as one American Catholic finally grasped the brass ring of acceptance and moved into the White House. The story was a deliberately edifying one, but it was a story primarily for insiders. Perhaps for that reason alone, American Catholic history seemed to remain, as Leslie Tender has recently observed, “on the margins” of serious scholarly discourse.

Abstract:
This research presents about Kyai's transformational leadership in managing Islamic educational institutions in order to have strong excellence and competitiveness, in the midst of competition between educational institutions. The study of Kyai's leadership has its own uniqueness, considering that Kyai is a charismatic figure and has a high spirituality value for a community of people, who must play a dual role as a leader and also a manager in the educational institution he leads, namely pesantren. This research uses a qualitative approach to with library research. The data analysis technique uses content analysis. The results showed that; Kyai as a transformative leader in managing his educational institutions, especially pesantren has four dimensions; First, charismatic leadership, where Kyai's position is used as a role model by his followers, secondly inspirational motivation, where a Kyai is able to inspire and motivate followers to achieve the goals of pesantren, third, intellectual stimulation which is able to foster ideas and ideas from others to advance pesantren educational institutions, fourth, individualized consideration, in which a Kyai wants to listen to the aspirations and input of others for the development of the educational organization he leads.

Abstract:
Religious, inspirational, and motivational storytelling can develop hard a work ethic, and also cultivate spirituality that implicates the nation's progress. On the contrary, storytelling that "lulled" people will make the nation's generation become lazy, thus do not have work hard ethic. Children's stories in Indonesia are still contaminated with Isra'iliyat stories and contain trickery, even mystique, and sexual contents. Therefore it has implications for the nation's condition which is corrupt, adolescent free-sex, and rampant practice of political shamanism. This research examines the storytelling in Early Childhood Education in the study of the neuroscience of Islamic education. The research setting was conducted at Early Childhood Education institutions in Yogyakarta. This research was using a descriptive qualitative approach. Research data were children's storybooks and storytelling methods in early childhood learning practices. Elements of children's stories were analyzed in descriptive, interpretative, and comparative ways based on neuroscience learning theories, thus can be known which stories fit the brain work characteristics. The results showed that children's stories can be divided into three, which are robotic stories, the stories that could be damaging children's brain potential; academic stories, stories that could be emasculating children's brain; and scientific stories or neurostory telling, the stories that have the potential to optimize the children's brain.

This study aims to examine the possibility of a spiritual course based on William James’ concept of spirituality. It begins with investigation of curriculum development, reflection on current orientation of curriculum development, analysis of spiritual education practice in British SMSC education, discussion about spirituality in Waldorf curriculum, and research content of James’ philosophical spiritual self extended from psychology. It then presents that when curriculum orients at the exploration of essence of life, the possibility of educational practice is positive. With extensive reading of James’ writings, this study proclaims that from James’ perspectives in spiritualism, the stream of thought, self-consciousness, and religious experience to realize his spiritual viewpoint, you could understand his statements about sensory experience, cosmology, self-consciousness, and personal life experience. Accordingly the study concludes that: firstly, James’ spiritual concept is based on his study of psychology and then extends to philosophical metaphysics; secondly, by means of analyzing James’ writings, it comes clear that James’ spiritual concept consists of multi-dimensional universe, individual religion, the stream of thought, and self-consciousness; thirdly, this paper proposes difficulties of spiritual education practice through analyzing the implementation of spiritual education in British SMSC education; fourthly, this paper illustrates the possibility of educational practice in Taiwan while spiritual education is defined as a concept of personal learning journey.

Abstract:
Rimmer, who did not always agree with Swedenborg, became a Spiritualist who tried to contact the dead through séances and had his own visions and his own visits to celestial spheres. Possibly manic depression played a role in these otherworldly experiences. Some of his pictures are clearly linked to apparitions that he mentioned experiencing. His largest surviving painting, which is mistitled English Hunting Scene, is a spring-time landscape with his daughters and a spiritual guide at the right, observing different overlapping scenes from the Middle Ages with a modern, railroad bridge in the distance. The daughters are observing ghosts who re-enact what they did in that space in the past. Some did not inhabit the space at the same time so they do not interact. This juxtaposition of different times occurs in two experimental drawings by Rimmer as well, suggestive of the passage of time. A number of his works reflect his otherworldly visions which might include angels or demons or imaginary beings such as those shown in Shooting Stars. The Hunting Scene also contains serfs or different social classes of ghosts related to the artist's empathy for the working poor. The picture pertains to teaching through seeing and Rimmer's inspirational role as an art instructor.

Abstract:
The importance of approaching life in an interconnected way seems to be on the rise. Interconnectedness, a concept that lies in the heart of many spiritual practices, stems from the realization that we inter-are with one another and everything in the universe. Just as our view of life undergoes profound evolution, the emergence of spirituality in the workplace advances at rapid speed. Today, more people are finding fulfillment, inspiration, and purpose in their jobs by bringing spirituality into their activities. This chapter addresses the increasing necessity of allowing spirituality to flourish in the workplace in the quest for better understanding our role as a whole. Furthermore, this chapter aims to provide organizations practical mindfulness-based strategies for enhancing self-management, productivity, and inside-out leadership in the workplace. Reinforcing an inside-out approach though the chapter, the author exposes the need for leaders to adopt an interconnected view into their workplaces in order to contribute in building a more sustainable and harmonious world.

Abstract:
At the same time that yoga was expanding in the adult education sector, Indian spirituality was also becoming popular amongst counter cultural milieus of the late 1960s and 70s. Press coverage of music celebrity interest in Indian spirituality and yoga was initially scornful. Yet during this period, yoga and Indian religiosity became an increasingly acceptable way of looking outside British culture for inspiration. This chapter identifies The Beatles’ search for musical inspiration, the popularization of yoga via the Asian Music Circle, the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) as being key influences in the increasingly mainstream attention to yogic practices. This chapter covers experiential centres such as Centre House, Muz Murry’s Gandolf’s Garden, the first Sivananda Yoga Centre and the Happy Healthy Holy Organization (3HO or Kundalini Yoga) becoming established in London.

Using examples from their work, this paper shows both authors’ sources of inspiration and highlights the means of expressing spirituality of a person going through an inner struggle. Although the authors describe a dark night, both of them they have a desire to overcome it, to reconcile with God, with the world and with themselves.

Capes, David B. "TOLERANCE IN THE THEOLOGY AND THOUGHT OF A. J. CONYERS AND FETHULLAH GÜLEN (EXTENDED ABSTRACT)." In Muslim World in Transition: Contributions of the Gülen Movement. Leeds Metropolitan University Press, 2007. http://dx.doi.org/10.55207/fbvr3629.

Full text
Abstract:
In his book The Long Truce (Spence Publishing, 2001) the late A. J. Conyers argues that tolerance, as practiced in western democracies, is not a public virtue; it is a political strat- egy employed to establish power and guarantee profits. Tolerance, of course, seemed to be a reasonable response to the religious wars of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but tolerance based upon indifference to all values except political power and materialism relegated ultimate questions of meaning to private life. Conyers offers another model for tolerance based upon values and resources already resident in pre-Reformation Christianity. In this paper, we consider Conyer’s case against the modern, secular form of tolerance and its current practice. We examine his attempt to reclaim the practice of Christian tolerance based upon humility, hospitality and the “powerful fact” of the incarnation. Furthermore, we bring the late Conyers into dialog with Fethullah Gülen, a Muslim scholar, prolific writer and the source of inspiration for a transnational civil society movement. We explore how both Conyers and Gülen interpret their scriptures in order to fashion a theology and politi- cal ideology conducive to peaceful co-existence. Finally, because Gülen’s identity has been formed within the Sufi tradition, we reflect on the spiritual resources within Sufi spirituality that make dialog and toleration key values for him. Conyers locates various values, practices and convictions in the Christian message that pave the way for authentic toleration. These include humility, trust, reconciliation, the interrelat- edness of all things, the paradox of power--that is, that strength is found in weakness and greatness in service—hope, the inherent goodness of creation, and interfaith dialog. Conyers refers to this latter practice as developing “the listening heart” and “the open soul.” In his writings and oral addresses, Gülen prefers the term hoshgoru (literally, “good view”) to “tolerance.” Conceptually, the former term indicates actions of the heart and the mind that include empathy, inquisitiveness, reflection, consideration of the dialog partner’s context, and respect for their positions. The term “tolerance” does not capture the notion of hoshgoru. Elsewhere, Gülen finds even the concept of hoshgoru insufficient, and employs terms with more depth in interfaith relations, such as respect and an appreciation of the positions of your dialog partner. The resources Gülen references in the context of dialog and empathic acceptance include the Qur’an, the prophetic tradition, especially lives of the companions of the Prophet, the works of great Muslim scholars and Sufi masters, and finally, the history of Islamic civilization. Among his Qur’anic references, Gülen alludes to verses that tell the believers to represent hu- mility, peace and security, trustworthiness, compassion and forgiveness (The Qur’an, 25:63, 25:72, 28:55, 45:14, 17:84), to avoid armed conflicts and prefer peace (4:128), to maintain cordial relationships with the “people of the book,” and to avoid argumentation (29:46). But perhaps the most important references of Gülen with respect to interfaith relations are his readings of those verses that allow Muslims to fight others. Gülen positions these verses in historical context to point out one by one that their applicability is conditioned upon active hostility. In other words, in Gülen’s view, nowhere in the Qur’an does God allow fighting based on differences of faith. An important factor for Gülen’s embracing views of empathic acceptance and respect is his view of the inherent value of the human. Gülen’s message is essentially that every human person exists as a piece of art created by the Compassionate God, reflecting aspects of His compassion. He highlights love as the raison d’etre of the universe. “Love is the very reason of existence, and the most important bond among beings,” Gülen comments. A failure to approach fellow humans with love, therefore, implies a deficiency in our love of God and of those who are beloved to God. The lack of love for fellow human beings implies a lack of respect for this monumental work of art by God. Ultimately, to remain indifferent to the conditions and suffering of fellow human beings implies indifference to God himself. While advocating love of human beings as a pillar of human relations, Gülen maintains a balance. He distinguishes between the love of fellow human beings and our attitude toward some of their qualities or actions. Our love for a human being who inflicts suffering upon others does not mean that we remain silent toward his violent actions. On the contrary, our very love for that human being as a human being, as well as our love of those who suffer, necessitate that we participate actively in the elimination of suffering. In the end we argue that strong resonances are found in the notion of authentic toleration based on humility advocated by Conyers and the notion of hoshgoru in the writings of Gülen.
