This article examines the implementation of the RPP HKBP concept and how the experience of shame should be understood, addressed, and internalized by members subject to the RPP HKBP. Through narrative criticism of the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32) and qualitative analysis of HKBP church documents, the study demonstrates that the RPP HKBP should be seen as a process of separation aimed at restoration, rather than marginalization. The church is called to actively engage in the mission of seeking and celebrating the recovery of the 'lost'. Accordingly, the application of the RPP HKBP must not reinforce stigma but should foster an environment of care and restoration. Shame, rather than being dismissed, should be viewed as a constructive step toward repentance and reconciliation.
