Abstract

Krisis kepercayaan publik yang diakibatkan korupsi sistemik di Indonesia menandakan adanya masalah etis yang fundamental di kalangan pejabat publik. Pendekatan reformasi kontemporer (institusional, sosio-kultural, dan perilaku) cenderung sekuler-rasionalistik dan gagal menjawab pertanyaan teleologis mengenai tujuan hakiki kekuasaan. Untuk mengisi kesenjangan fondasi moral ini, penelitian ini berpaling pada etika politik Patristik. Dengan menggunakan metode studi literatur kualitatif, artikel ini menganalisis konsep oikonomia (penatalayanan) dari Basilius Agung dan iustitia (keadilan) dari Agustinus dari Hippo. Hasil analisis menunjukkan oikonomia Basilius mendefinisikan ulang jabatan sebagai penatalayanan bagi kaum miskin, sementara iustitia Agustinus menetapkan keadilan moral sebagai syarat legitimasi negara. Sintesis keduanya menghasilkan kerangka teo-etis yang mereformasi etos pejabat publik dengan mereorientasi tujuan jabatan dari kekuasaan menjadi pelayanan dan motivasi dari cinta diri menjadi cinta akan keadilan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kerangka Basilian-Agustinian menawarkan fondasi etika kebajikan yang melengkapi pendekatan reformasi yang ada dengan menggeser fokus dari sekadar “pejabat bersih” menuju “pejabat luhur” yang berintegritas moral.

Sugianto, STT Reformed Indonesia

Sugianto, M.Div., M.Th. is a lecturer at the Reformed Theological Seminary of Indonesia, serving in the field of theological education with a passion for developing Christian thought that is relevant to Indonesia's pluralistic society. His academic interests include comparative studies, intercultural studies, religious studies, citizenship studies, missiology, and issues of social justice within community life. His research focuses on the development of contextual theology and the effort to build interreligious and intercultural dialogue as a contribution to a more just and peaceful pluralistic society. Through teaching, research, and community service, he strives to bridge theological reflection with social realities, so that the Christian faith is not merely understood as doctrinal teaching but is also lived out tangibly in social relationships, care for others, and shared responsibility for common life. In his academic ministry, he seeks to create a learning environment that encourages students to think critically, be sensitive to their social context, and be capable of wisely presenting the values of the Gospel amidst Indonesia's diversity. He believes that theology is not only an effort to understand God conceptually but also a calling to manifest God's love and justice in human relationships and societal life.
