Jakarta School of Theological Philosophy or Jakarta Theological Seminary (Sekolah Tinggi Filsafat Theologi Jakarta, STFT Jakarta) is the oldest Christian theological college and university in Indonesia. It was founded in 1934. [1] [2]
In 1936 this school was moved to Jakarta, then in 1954 its name changed to Jakarta Theological College. STT Jakarta was born as a higher education institution that seeks to implement the Tri Dharma of Higher Education.
Prof. Dr. Mulller Kruger, rector of STT Jakarta (the first rector was Dr. J.R. Slottemaker de Bruine), in that year also introduced what was called theologia in loco, a theology which he hoped would be familiar to Indonesia and could bear fruit for the Churches in Indonesia. At that time the education period lasted six years and was expected to produce Indonesian pastors in the shortest possible time and with the best possible results.
Between 1942-1945, during the Japanese occupation, HTS lecturers were taken prisoner and lectures stopped. As a result, schools were forced to close. When it reopened in 1946, the need was felt to educate as many Indonesian workers as possible in a short time, for the future service of the churches. Therefore, educational programs are directed at producing professionals in the field of theology who have an ecumenical outlook.
When the Republic of Indonesia was proclaimed on August 17 1945, HTS was developed into a theological education institution that was fully equivalent to university education. On 27 September 1954 the name of HTS was changed to Jakarta Theological College, and this date was taken to commemorate the founding of STT Jakarta. Since 27 September 1954, for the first time a high school diploma was required as a condition for entering STT Jakarta. In addition, the ecumenical nature of this school is becoming increasingly clear according to churches in Indonesia, which is marked by the rotating position of rector by Indonesian lecturers.
In 1958, STT Jakarta opened its own advanced study program, and since 1966 it has also developed the South East Asia Graduate School of Theology (SEAGST) advanced study program, within the framework of a consortium of Theological Schools in Southeast Asia which has succeeded in diverting the flow of advanced studies to the Asian region yourself.
Since 2003, STT Jakarta has developed the Community Learning Center Church (PPWG) program, which is intended to carry out educational activities and training for churches and church members, especially those in the DKI Jakarta area and its surroundings. However, currently PPWG's work can also be felt by various parties in remote areas of the archipelago.
