Abstract

Harm done to the environment and violence perpetrated against women prove to be entangled realities, insofar as both women and nature suffer interlocking experiences of exploitation and oppression. Movements advocating for women’s rights to an improved quality of life are inextricably linked with the survival of the earth itself, thereby birthing notions of ecofeminism that thematically center environmental conservation as emblematic of widespread struggle. In our paper, we show how women’s movements in various parts of the world—such as the indigenous peoples of Indonesia—emerge from a sense of responsibility to nature as well as affective commitments to sustain life. The breadth of Western, Latin American, and South Asian Indian (and other Asian) ecofeminist thought—from Sallie McFague, Rosemary Radford Ruether, and Elisabeth A. Johnson, to Ivone Gebara, Aruna Gnanadason, and others—are manifest in the philosophical notion of the motherland. The very concept of Mother Earth begets a personification of “Indonesian Earth” (bumi Indonesia) wherein nature becomes both subject and source of life. Reinforcing such a personification is our reading of Job 12:7-10, which instructs humankind to hear and learn from nature in order to gain wisdom. Our construction of an ecofeminist theology will inform, in turn, the protection of nature.

Abstract

In SETARA's account, cases of intolerance against churches in a decade (2007-2016) reached the highest number compared to other houses of worship, namely 186 cases. Unfortunately, the attitude of the church tends to be passive towards this reality. We see that the issue of intolerance to the church does not seem to be a common problem with churches, especially mainstream Protestant churches. On the other hand, especially in Christian-majority areas, the church is repressive towards religious freedom in its environment. To that end, we will first review the church's attitude towards cases of intolerance towards the church. Next, we will analyze these attitudes with Catherine Keller's postcolonial perspective to criticize and even reconstruct the church's idea of transformative religious freedom amid various cases of intolerance in Indonesia. This can be done by dissecting the four main issues we offer, namely the traditional conflict culture, neglect by the state, the rise of Islam, and the indifference of churches to various cases of intolerance in Indonesia.AbstrakDalam catatan SETARA, kasus intoleransi terhadap gereja dalam satu dekade (2007-2016) mencapai angka tertinggi dibanding rumah-rumah ibadah lainnya yakni 186 kasus. Sayangnya, sikap gereja cenderung pasif terhadap realitas ini. Kami melihat bahwa persoalan intoleransi terhadap gereja tampaknya belum menjadi persoalan bersama gereja-gereja terutama gereja Protestan mainstream. Di pihak lain, terutama di wilayah mayoritas Kristen, gereja malah bersikap represif terhadap kebebasan keberagamaan di lingkungannya. Untuk itu, pertama-tama kami akan meninjau sikap gereja terhadap kasus-kasus intoleransi terhadap gereja. Selanjutnya, kami akan menganalisis sikap tersebut dengan perspektif poskolonial Catherine Keller untuk mengkritisi bahkan merekonstruksi gagasan gereja tentang kebebasan beragama yang transformatif di tengah-tengah berbagai kasus intoleransi di Indonesia. Hal ini dapat dilakukan dengan membedah empat isu utama yang kami tawarkan yakni budaya konflik tradisional, pembiaran oleh negara, kebangkitan Islam, dan ketidakpedulian gereja-gereja terhadap berbagai kasus intoleransi di Indonesia.
