Abstract

Handep is a culture that has positive value for the churches in their existence in the midst of Dayak Ngaju people in the Province of Central Kalimantan Through Handep’s role, the church builds good communication with culture. The purpose of this research is to find out the role of Handep in communication between the church and culture, and to see the challenges of the church in practicing Handep culture. The descriptive qualitative method is used in this study and it is found that Handep’s role in communication is as a form of group communication that carries out its functions as social communication, expressive communication, and ritual communication. The implementation of Handep certainly cannot be separated from various challenges. These challenges are related to several aspects, namely education, economy, and culture. Through this research, we hope it can help the church and the community to preserve the Handep culture and have a positive impact on the church, community and cultural life in Central Kalimantan.
