Abstract

Rejection of leaders of different religions, ethnicities and so on is the main in the 2017 DKI Jakarta Governor Election, especially narratives of indigenous and non-indigenous sentiment. The church should take a role in responding to this problem. The research method that the author will use in this paper is the qualitative method of descriptive analysis. The author will also analyze the problem of why ethnicity is used as a political tool and will explore how the issue of ethnicity occurs in Indonesia and the functional role of the church in seeing this. This research uses theories about identity politics, religion in the public sphere by Habermas, Talcott Parsons' structural functionalism and Hendropuspito's religious functionalism. In a social society, of course religion as a social institution has a role and function in responding to situations that occur around it. The church does not mean being silent but has a prophetic voice to respond to this. This shows an important transformative role, namely instilling the value of renewing understanding in church members and the surrounding community about the importance of living together in a multiethnic society.

Abstract

This research examines local wisdom as a model for recognizing indigenous religions within the context of interfaith encounters through adat practices. While Indonesia’s diversity of beliefs is a significant cultural asset, it can also become a source of conflict if not properly managed, particularly concerning the recognition of indigenous religions. Indigenous religions serve as guardians of local wisdom and play a crucial role in fostering social cohesion. Therefore, the application of local wisdom through adat practices is vital for facilitating interfaith encounters in everyday life, aligning with the concept of lived religion. The interpretation of local wisdom and the practice of traditional ceremonies—comprising rituals, symbols, and oral narratives—play a pivotal role in acknowledging the existence and value of indigenous religions. By focusing on the case of Marapu, indigenous religion in Sumba, this research highlights the importance of recognizing indigenous religions within the broader Indonesian context. The study employs a qualitative methodology with a critical ethnographic approach, utilizing data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and literature review. The findings reveal that adat, as a lived religious practice among the people of Sumba, serves as a “womb” capable of providing social recognition for Marapu. Within the Christian-Marapu encounter, significant interpenetration occurs during the implementation of adat, emphasizing the deep entwinement of cultural practices and belief systems in sustaining mutual respect and coexistence.
