Abstract

Religious moderation relates to the middle way, harmony, and balance between religious extremes. The middle path of moderation is not mathematically middle, but harmony and balance are the best choices. In the Indonesian context, the struggle between religion and secularisation is a problem that needs to be answered. In the context of religious diversity, pluralism, and particularism are often in tension and blame each other. In the theology of religions, faith and rationalization often declare the other wrong. This article discusses moderation between these extremes with respect for their positions and deepening it as a contextual form of moderation in Indonesia. The research method used was qualitative, using library sources. This research aims to obtain a model of religious restraint in Indonesia by existing extremes. The research results show that moderation in Indonesia can be done by accommodating positive values ​​from these extremes. These results can answer the struggle regarding moderation in relations between religions and the state and in relations between religions.

Abstract

Moderasi beragama merupakan kebijakan pemerintah untuk menyikapi ekstrem beragama baik kiri maupun kanan di Indonesia. Kebijakan tersebut adalah baik karena berguna untuk menghadirkan kedamaian di tengah kemajemukan agama. Namun harus disadari bahwa hal itu juga dapat menyebabkan berkurangnya peran agama secara sosial. Agama yang seharusnya menjadi sumber bagi pembaharuan sosial, bisa ditumpulkan daya kritisnya dengan menjadikan moderasi beragama sebagai alasan. Artikel ini secara khusus bertujuan untuk mengungkap kontribusi orang Kristen dalam mewujudkan moderasi beragama di Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, penelitian ini menganalisis konsep moderasi Kristen berdasarkan Alkitab dan mengkaitkannya dengan praktik keberagamaan di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa nilai-nilai Alkitab tentang moderasi Kristen terletak pada kesederhanaan, jalan tengah dan keseimbangan. Konsep ini dapat diimplementasikan dalam bentuk toleransi, inklusivitas, dan pengembangan dialog antaragama. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi baru dengan menunjukkan relevansi iman Kristen dalam mendukung program moderasi beragama dan dapat menjadi referensi bagi umat Kristen dalam berkontribusi dalam keragaman agama di Indonesia, secara khusus Kristen Protestan. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa moderasi beragama memiliki implementasi dalam menguatkan nasionalisme di Indonesia, melalui militansi dan keimanan yang moderat.

Abstract

This article explores the transformative role of Christian hospitality in addressing religious violence, strengthening interreligious tolerance, and deepening dialogical engagement in plural societies. Using a qualitative and literature-based approach, the study draws upon biblical exegesis and contemporary philosophical thought, particularly from Derrida, Levinas, and Zizioulas, to frame hospitality not merely as a moral virtue but as a radical theological praxis. The findings show that hospitality, in its unconditional form, dismantles the boundaries that sustain violence by welcoming the stranger as a sacred presence, including those once perceived as enemies. Unlike passive tolerance which often reinforces hierarchical relations, hospitality fosters active encounters rooted in mutual respect and shared humanity. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that dialog grounded in hospitality surpasses pluralistic formalism by offering a genuine relational space where differences are neither denied nor diluted, but embraced as sources of mutual growth. This dialogical hospitality challenges the binary between particularism and relativism, positioning openness to the other as a sacred imperative of faith. The study concludes that Christian hospitality holds profound potential as an interreligious ethical framework that transcends theological abstraction and responds concretely to the social fractures of post-secular societies. As such, this research contributes to the broader discourse on interfaith ethics, offering a nuanced paradigm for theological engagement, conflict resolution, and civic reconciliation across religious and cultural boundaries.
