<![CDATA[This study focuses on the phenomenon of Multiple Religious Belonging (MRB) in the community of Aluk To Dolo adherents in Suppirang and Mesakada villages, bordering Tana Toraja. MRB is understood as a religious practice where individuals integrate elements from more than one religious tradition, in this context, Aluk To Dolo and Christianity. This phenomenon challenges the traditional paradigm of exclusive religion and creates a unique socio-religious dynamic. The purpose of this research is to explore the religious experiences of Aluk To Dolo adherents who participate in Christian practices without abandoning their ancestral traditions. A qualitative descriptive phenomenological approach was employed to understand the behaviors and life patterns of this community. The study also reviews relevant literature to strengthen the analysis of Christian missions and cultural interaction with Aluk To Dolo. The findings reveal that MRB fosters harmonious relationships between Christianity and Aluk To Dolo through the adaptation of traditions and shared practices. However, challenges such as the risk of syncretism and religious identity conflicts remain. In conclusion, MRB serves as a platform for interreligious dialogue, enriching the religious experiences of individuals and communities while reflecting the dynamics of Christian mission transformation in a local cultural context.]]>
