Abstract

Environmental degradation in Jambi City such as the pollution of the Batanghari River, increasing floods, and the decline of green open spaces demonstrates the urgent need to strengthen environmental conservation movements based on religious values. In this context, women activists occupy a strategic position as agents of change due to their close connection with community social dynamics. This community service program focuses on strengthening the capacity of women activists in mainstreaming ecotheology, utilizing local assets as internal community strengths, and developing cross-sector collaborative networks. The objectives include enhancing conceptual and practical competencies, optimizing local assets for ecological movements grounded in religious values, and expanding support through multisector partnerships. The program’s implementation shows that capacity building for women is a key factor in developing ecological awareness and encouraging environmental preservation at the community level. Conceptual and practical training strengthened skills in advocacy, leadership, and program management, enabling women to act as strategic drivers of change. The Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach ensures program sustainability by utilizing individual, social, cultural, and physical community resources. Networking with government, religious institutions, educational organizations, media, environmental communities, and the business sector reinforced movement consolidation and opened broader collaboration. These efforts have the potential to foster an inclusive, participatory, and sustainable ecotheology movement.

Abstract

This article focuses on examining structur contributions in the community and the participation of local actors in maintaining religious harmony in Kuala Tungkal. This article uses qualitative research methods, data obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted by following the stages: data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. This article finds that the contribution of the structural approach in maintaining religious harmony is inseparable in managing religious harmony. Structures in society, religious organizations, religious institutions, pesantren, and the government have become systemic networks that can collaborate in social work, especially maintaining religious harmony. This can be maintained if there are local actors who have power and interest in religious harmony. Local actors become an important and strategic consideration as a figure and are considered a person who practices religious teachings and can be a role model for their worshipers. Therefore, this article concludes that the elite-structural approach is not relevant if it is only carried out separately, but must involve local non-structural actors who have complementary roles in mobilizing society and peacemaking.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the paradigm shift in the study of orientalism through the thoughts of contemporary orientalists such as Karen Armstrong, Annemarie Schimmel, Martin Lings, John Obert Voll, and Charles Kurzman. This article attempts to show how their approaches correct the bias of classical orientalists by offering a more sympathetic, holistic, and internally based perspective on Islam. This research uses a qualitative approach through literature studies with descriptive analysis methods. This study finds that the paradigm shift from classical to contemporary orientalism was triggered by historical, religious, political, cultural, and intellectual factors after the end of colonialism. These contemporary orientalists emerged and brought major contributions such as a humanist approach that emphasizes an empathetic narrative of Islam, a deep spiritual and esoteric understanding of Islam, and a critical analysis of the dynamics of contemporary Islam in responding to modernity and democracy. Together, they challenge the stereotype of classical orientalism by showing the diversity, depth, and relevance of Islam in a global context. This article concludes that the thoughts of contemporary orientalists have represented a new generation of Islamic studies in the West that is fairer and more objective. They not only correct the misperceptions of past orientalism, but also pave the way for a more productive dialogue between Islam and the West. Keywords: Contemporary Orientalism; Classical Orientalism; Paradigm Shift.

Abstract

Digital media have reconfigured religious authority by expanding the role of audiences in evaluating, affirming, and contesting religious legitimacy. This study examines how YouTube audiences interpret and negotiate representations of religious authority in digitally mediated religious communication. Using a qualitative approach informed by Stuart Hall's reception framework, the study draws on netnographic observation of audience comments collected between January and May 2025 from 10 videos across five YouTube channels selected for their relevance to debates on religious authority. The comments were analysed through Hall's decoding positions dominant, negotiated, and oppositional to identify how audiences recognize, qualify, or reject authority claims. The findings show that audiences evaluate religious authority through interrelated epistemic, institutional, performative, moral, experiential, and relational-digital criteria. Dominant readings tend to affirm scholarly competence and recognized religious credentials, negotiated readings introduce additional criteria such as communication style and audience experience, while oppositional readings challenge authority when public conduct is perceived as inconsistent with moral expectations. These intersecting evaluations indicate a hybrid configuration of religious authority in which traditional sources of legitimacy interact with audience-based judgments formed through digital engagement. The study contributes to scholarship on digital religion by showing that audience reception is not merely a response to established authority but an active site in which the foundations of religious legitimacy are continuously negotiated.
