Abstract

Religious conflict remains a complex issue worldwide, including in Indonesia. The rise of digital spaces, particularly social media, has not only expanded the religious public sphere but also offered new opportunities for conflict resolution. This article examines the potential of social media as a medium for mediating religious conflicts by highlighting interfaith dialogue, peace-oriented narratives, and the role of religious actors in managing tensions. Employing a qualitative approach grounded in a literature review, the study uses John Paul Lederach’s Conflict Transformation theory as the primary analytical framework to conceptualize digital space as a relational, structural, and narrative environment in which religious conflict is continuously reproduced and potentially transformed. The findings suggest that while social media algorithms tend to amplify hate speech and deepen echo chambers, these same platforms also enable participatory, wide-reaching initiatives for conflict mediation. Thus, digital spaces can be transformed into inclusive arenas for constructive engagement, symbolic rituals, and collaborative practices that foster positive peace and social justice while at the same time facing structural constraints, such as algorithmic polarization, digital inequality, and performative peacebuilding.

Abstract

This article aims to describe the history of Christianity in Madura, Indonesia, and its relations with Islam as the religion of the Muslim majority. The data has been collected through observation and interviews, as well as documentation of academic references and the booklets of the local churches. This research found that Christianity has persisted in Madura for centuries through cultural routes such as migration, marriage, and personal choice. Despite its exclusivity as a European faith in the era of the Dutch, Christianity was consciously accepted by the Chinese community in Madura and even by some Madurese themselves. The history of Christianity in Madura is one of long acculturation and interfaith encounters based on social interaction. It has survived the historical flames since the beginning of the VOC period. It continues to be a significant factor in the construction of the current social life of the Madurese people. The implications of this research lie in its contribution to the study of interreligious coexistence and minority–majority relations in Indonesia. The originality and value of this study rest in its focus on Madura—an area largely neglected in Indonesian church history—thereby filling a gap in scholarship and providing new perspectives on the dynamics of Christianity within a predominantly Muslim cultural context. Christianity and Christians have become essential elements within the cultural, political, and economic social relations of contemporary Madura.

Abstract

The construction of the Cirata Reservoir fundamentally restructured the geographic and socio-economic profile of the Cipeundeuy community, forcing a rapid transition from a terrestrial agrarian society to an aquatic-centered ecosystem. This study investigates the resulting tension and synergy between individual spiritual experiences and collective local wisdom within this transitional landscape. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach grounded in field data, the research applies a theoretical synthesis of Symbolic Interactionism and Bourdieu’s concept of Habitus to analyze cultural adaptation. Results indicate a significant “institutionalization of the ineffable,” where the majority of respondents reported new transcendental states only after joining local Majlis Taklim (religious assembly), positioning these assemblies as “spiritual incubators” that provide a new semiotic framework for mystical encounters. Simultaneously, the data reveals a state of “normative fragmentation” regarding ancestral taboos (pamali), reflecting a habitus in flux as it encounters modern structural demands. The discussion posits that the community exhibits “Prismatic Resilience,” characterized by a recursive symbiosis: spiritual experiences provide the internal vitality to sustain cultural traditions, while local wisdom offers the necessary grammar to articulate these experiences. Ultimately, the survival of Cipeundeuy’s identity amidst displacement is contingent upon the mutual preservation of subjective mystical encounters and ancestral symbolic frameworks.
