Abstract

This article explores the Tombor Maghi ritual among the Fakfak community in West Papua Province, Indonesia, which strengthens interfaith relations, particularly between Muslims and Christians. Originally part of a traditional marriage custom, the ritual has developed into a broader form of community solidarity involving cross-religious cooperation. While scholars in anthropology and sociology have extensively studied rituals, research that focuses explicitly on rituals within the context of inter-religious relations remains relatively underdeveloped. This study addresses three main research questions: how the Tombor Maghi ritual is practiced and interpreted by the Fakfak community across religious affiliations; what role the ritual plays in fostering interfaith cooperation and reinforcing communal solidarity; and what symbolic and social significance the ritual holds within the broader framework of lived religion and indigenous approaches to peacebuilding. This study employs a qualitative methodology, utilising a realist ethnographic approach. Data were collected through interviews and field observations conducted in Fakfak Regency. The findings indicate that Tombor Maghi continues to be preserved as a form of cultural dialogue that weaves together interfaith relations. The ritual reflects cultural knowledge that is created, transmitted, and practised in daily life. It provides a space for Muslims and Christians to collaborate through community-based initiatives, such as at mosques and churches. In light of these findings, further research related to this topic is suggested because there are still many interesting issues to discuss in connection with rituals that have become a philosophy in social life.

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.

Abstract

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kontribusi toleransi antar-agama dalam menjaga harmoni sosial serta dampaknya terhadap kehidupan masyarakat Kota Kupang dalam perspektif Civil Sphere. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dan pendekatan fenomenologi, data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan studi pustaka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa praktik toleransi di Kota Kupang terwujud melalui dialog antar-agama, keterlibatan aktif komunitas dalam perayaan keagamaan, serta tindakan simbolik yang mencerminkan solidaritas sosial. Dalam perspektif Jeffrey Alexander, Kota Kupang mencerminkan ruang sipil yang memungkinkan integrasi sosial melalui simbol-simbol yang membangun narasi kebersamaan. Sementara itu, dalam pandangan George Herbert Mead, makna toleransi terbentuk melalui interaksi sosial yang memungkinkan individu dari berbagai latar belakang agama menginternalisasi nilai-nilai kebersamaan. Praktik seperti keterlibatan pemuda Kristen dalam membantu perayaan Idul Fitri dan partisipasi umat Muslim dalam menghias pohon Natal menjadi contoh nyata bagaimana simbol dan interaksi sosial memperkuat kohesi masyarakat. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa harmoni dalam keberagaman tidak terjadi secara alami, melainkan merupakan hasil dari upaya kolektif berbagai pihak dalam membangun ruang publik yang inklusif dan toleran. Kata Kunci: Toleransi Antar-agama, Civil Sphere, Interaksi Simbolik, Simbol Keagamaan.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the functions of religion in the religious experiences of elderly members involved in a religious WhatsApp group at GKI Tegalrejo, Salatiga. This study employs a qualitative descriptive–interpretative approach supported by descriptive quantitative data. The participants consisted of 12 elderly individuals aged 60–75 who had been actively involved in the religious WhatsApp group for at least six months. Data were collected through a 1–4 scale questionnaire to map the intensity of digital religious experiences, as well as semi-structured interviews to explore the meanings of those experiences. The findings indicate that the WhatsApp media group functions as a digital religious space that primarily strengthens the social and emotional functions of religion, such as a sense of togetherness, emotional support, and the presence of a faith community. These findings suggest that digital media function not only as communication tools but also as a medium of religious experience that is relevant to the lives of the elderly today.

Abstract

TikTok can serve as an ecclesiological space, a platform for exploring the meaning of life, nurturing faith, and fostering spiritual growth. From a missiological perspective, TikTok offers opportunities for proclaiming salvation and facilitating digital encounters that engage individuals in meaningful ways. The primary aim of this PkM initiative is to educate and mentor the youth of GMIT Betania Teubaun Rabe, Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara. The project seeks to develop their capacity to utilize TikTok as a tool for church service and the proclamation of the Gospel of Christ. The approach integrates lectures, collaborative discussions, and hands-on training in using TikTok as a medium for ministry and digital evangelism. As a tangible outcome, the youth, alongside the church's multimedia team, were encouraged to form a church creative team. This team is tasked with producing innovative social media content for the church. Participants received training on creating engaging and meaningful videos, utilizing accessible and cost-effective tools such as standard smartphones.
