Paul and Wendell Berry’s leadership in building Christian education management
The search for the concept of Christian school leadership is an ongoing endeavour. The main issue is that the models developed lack a biblical foundation and do not reflect the context and issues of Indonesia. Therefore, the idea of Paul’s transformational leadership and the spatial-temporal education concept adopted from Wendell Berry’s theo-ecological perspective serve as alternative approaches worth considering. In this regard, the Tonaas and Walian leadership models in Minahasa have long been embedded in the local community and can serve as a reference point for Paul’s transformational leadership and Wendell Berry’s ecological perspective. Ultimately, transformational leadership that is spatial-temporal and rooted in Minahasa traditions can serve as an alternative concept for leadership in the context of Christian education management in Indonesia.ContributionThe spatial-temporal transformational leadership model is relevant to education in Indonesia, integrating Christian, local, spiritual and ecological values. This approach aligns with the Minahasan leadership traditions, such as Tonaas and Walian, which emphasise balance between humanity, nature and spirituality. This model offers a sustainable leadership alternative that is well suited to the local context.

Popular image of students enrolled in Christian schools and the founding purpose of Christian schools – A study based on a survey of youth living in Tokyo/Kanagawa Prefectures
Despite the popularity of Christian schools in Japan, Christians account for only 1.6% of the nation’s population. In the attempt to explore this inconsistency, we conducted an online survey in January 2020 to those between the ages of 15 and 29 living in Tokyo and Kanagawa. Our subjects include those who have enrolled in Christian schools, those who have some sort of affiliation, and those who do not have affiliation. We attempted to measure the difference in attitude by the degree of their affiliation. We focused on the notion of 'triple faith' which was proposed by Inoue and others. Many people in Japan believe in both Buddhism and Shintoism because neither requires a rite such as baptism. Christianity requires baptism, but that aside, in practice, many Japanese have triple faith including Christianity. Prosperity of Christian schools, preferences towards Christmas, and popularity of Christian-style weddings, all testify to this. This argument by Inoue and others conflicts with the common belief that Christianity never got a foothold in Japan. The results of cross tabulation of key questions and affiliation with Christian schools, combined with our interview results, show that those who have enrolled in Christian schools are more likely to have what may be referred to as triple faith. We have also provided a discussion on the possible reasons behind this finding.

Activist women, schooling and the rise of grassroots Christian conservatism
This paper argues for the need to better understand the role of mothers and schooling in shaping modern conservative cultural politics. Arguing that 1970s-1980s was a critical period for anti-progressive politics surrounding
schooling, the paper examines the activism of Australian Christian morals campaigner Rona Joyner. Joyner's successful provocation of a 1978 governmental ban on social science curriculum materials was a signal event in an international
Anglophone reaction against what she and others theorised as dangerously permissive forces in public culture. Pitting 'Christian' parental authority against 'humanist' state overreach in relation to the upbringing of children, Joyner
created a detailed vision of the cultural-moral corruption of schools and other social institutions. This paper demonstrates how Joyner represented her labour as a project of both public motherhood and grassroots community activism, and
how activist women like Joyner were foundational to the growth of a new contemporary grassroots conservatism expressed as a popular politics of 'the people' against the state. [Author abstract]

Religious-social leadership values and principals’ morality in Christian school
Leaders’ morality in the context of principals in Christian school is of great significance in the education environment. However, there are gaps between religious insights, western education and principal’s leadership in Christian schools in Indonesia. Anthropological, social, cultural and other differences can pose hindrances to the effective implementation of external ideas. Therefore, this research emphasises the importance of embracing moral religious leadership values from local cultural heritage that are appropriate to the Indonesian context. Tonaas and Walian leadership in Minahasa are promising alternatives that can contribute to the discourse on principals’ morality in Christian school. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative methodology, critical analysis and argumentation to explore the intersection of moral leadership, local cultural heritage and educational leadership in Christian schools in Indonesia. As a result, the morality values of Tonaas and Walian religious leaders in Minahasa demonstrate the significance of responsibility towards the Christian school environment.Contribution: The results of this study contribute to the conversation about morality among leaders in the Christian school environment. Specifically, the religious leadership of Tonaas and Walian in Minahasa provides valuable local insights that are relevant to the context of education and principals in Indonesia.

The Registration of Ginling College and the Role of Wu Yi-fang, 1925–1930
This paper examines the role of Wu Yi-fang in the registration process at Ginling College. It explores the initial resistance exhibited by the missionary faculty and the Ginling College Committee toward registration, contrasting it with their subsequent change in attitude following the 1927 Nanking Incident. This incident forced Ginling to adhere to government regulations, appointing Wu Yi-fang as the Chinese president of the college. Through her exceptional negotiation strategies, Wu not only ensured Ginling’s smooth registration and prosperity after the political upheaval but also successfully claimed decision-making authority for herself. This paper argues that Wu’s contributions to Ginling’s registration demonstrate how Christian schools and liberal education played a significant role in nurturing the development of Chinese female leaders and preparing them for leadership roles. Simultaneously, these institutions benefited from the achievements of their graduates.

Leadership and Religious Schools
Leadership in religious schools is a complex and often misunderstood subject. Educational leaders must perform the dual task of encouraging religious identities while relating them to wider issues of citizenship. Religious identity needs to be made relevant to the whole school community – parents, staff, students – and leaders need to take care to expand how human identity is conceived and manifested. Given these challenges, learning and leadership take on a special importance in faith-based and religious schools. This unique volume brings together leading international scholars in the field to explore the many dimensions of leadership: religious, faith, spiritual, ministerial, educational, and curriculum leadership. The contributors demonstrate, through case studies and grounded theory, that these schools require leaders who are conversant with a very wide range of styles and issues. Other issues discussed include styles of leadership, relationships with stakeholders, motivation, satisfaction and stress, school culture, and ethos and charisma. This is an insightful collection of essays that will be of great use to all those studying and researching school leadership.
