Abstract

Conflicts and violence in the name of religion in Indonesia continue to increase from year to year. One of the issues that often disrupts harmonious relations between religious communities is the issue related to the establishment of houses of worship. This problem arises because there is a thin line between the right to worship and the right to establish a house of worship. Some religious groups may view the right to establish a house of worship as the same as an inviolable personal right. In fact, the matter of establishing a house of worship is actually a collective social realm. Establishing a house of worship in an inappropriate location or environment can result in discomfort or disturbance from other parties. Prolonged discomfort can lead to hatred and hostility. This study focuses more on the results of the continuation of the problem regarding the establishment or repair of a Christian house of worship at the HKBP Lau Dendang Church In Lau Dendang Village. The results of the study show that the HKBP Laut Dendang Church plays an active role in community life. The church not only functions as a place of worship, but also as a center for social, educational, and cultural activities for the congregation and the surrounding community. There are obstacles in understanding and communication between the congregation and the church, which can lead to misunderstandings, conflicts, and imbalances in church life. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve communication, understanding, and congregation participation so that the church can function well and provide the best services.

Abstract

Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world, with a land area that includes rich coastal ecosystems, including mangrove forests. Mangrove forests in Indonesia have a very important ecological role, such as protection against coastal abrasion, habitat for marine biota, and carbon absorption. However, these forests face threats due to land conversion for agriculture, housing, and industry. This study aims to explore the utilization of mangrove forests on Sicanang Island, Medan, with a focus on the social and economic impacts on local communities. The results of the study show that the community utilizes mangrove forests for fisheries, shrimp farming, and the use of raw materials for daily needs. Sustainable management of mangrove forests is very important to maintain the balance of the ecosystem and improve the quality of life of coastal communities.

Abstract

A place of worship is a very important component in a religion. Nothing can be called a religion without a clear worship system and a permanent place of worship. Christianity calls their place of worship a ‘Church’, which means a house where God and His people meet. The function of this church is to describe their faith by singing spiritual songs with the aim of worshiping or praising their God. The data analysis technique uses qualitative research as the data analysis method. This study uses a case study methodology to conduct qualitative research. The subjects studied in this case study approach. In fostering harmony between religious communities, there must be a gap between one and another. Regarding various social problems that contain the potential for conflict in the local community and can disrupt and harm various efforts to create harmony between religious communities, for example, residential areas that function as houses of worship are found in most of the districts/cities targeted by this study. Thus, it is important for all parties, including the government, religious figures, and civil society, to continue to strive to create harmony and mutual understanding, so that similar conflicts do not recur in the future. Multicultural education, interfaith dialogue, and fair law enforcement are some of the important steps that can be taken to build an inclusive and harmonious society.
