Abstract

This article discusses the role of Christian theological education in integrating an ecological vision into missional formation. Using Jakarta Theological Seminary's (JTS) Green Campus Blue Seminary program as a case study, it expounds on the contextuality and multidirectionality of this Indonesian theological seminary's educational program as eco-missional formation amid contemporary environmental problems, particularly the marine ecological crisis. My argument is twofold. First, eco-missional formation is imperative for theological education as part of its missional task amid the current ecological crisis. Second, envisioning theological education as eco-missional formation requires a reimagination of missiology from within the marine ecological crisis—thus, I refer to this as blue missiology. I identify the contextual-constructive dimension of blue missiology by interconnecting JTS's eco-missional formation, the history of environmental mission, local Indonesian narratives of the sea, and blue spirituality as the core of eco-missional formation.
