Abstract

This article aims to examine the practice of religious inclusivity in the Religious Moderation Village (Kampung Moderasi Beragama or KMB) of Senduro Village, Lumajang Regency. Known for its religious and cultural diversity, Senduro has become an important example of implementing principles of religious moderation in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach, this study collected data through in-depth interviews with religious leaders, community leaders, and village residents, as well as through participatory observation. The study’s findings reveal that KMB Senduro has successfully fostered a harmonious and inclusive environment through interfaith dialogue, joint activities, local wisdom, and supporting factors, which include inclusive and visionary leadership from the village head, religious figures, and community leaders. These findings further underscore the importance of interfaith cooperation and understanding in maintaining peace and social harmony in a multicultural society like Indonesia, especially in Lumajang Regency.

Abstract

This study explores the intersection of conspicuous consumption and the Hijrah movement within Indonesia's socio-cultural and economic transformations. The rise of the middle class, coupled with the proliferation of social media, has amplified conspicuous consumption, where symbols of wealth and social status are prominently displayed. In this context, religiosity emerges as a unique form of status signaling, referred to in this study as "conspicuous consumption of piousness." Simultaneously, the contemporary Hijrah movement has gained momentum, marked by its emphasis on personal transformation and lifestyle adjustments rather than political activism. Utilizing qualitative content analysis, this research reveals a reciprocal relationship between conspicuous consumption and the Hijrah movement. It highlights how middle-class anxieties and aspirations provide fertile ground for the Hijrah movement’s growth, while the movement itself fosters a platform for displaying religiosity as a marker of both piety and modernity. These findings contribute to theoretical debates on conspicuous consumption by extending its scope to include immaterial aspects and religious identities in a non-Western context, offering critical insights into the evolving dynamics of consumerism and religiosity.

Abstract

This research focuses on accommodating social interaction between Arab, Chinese (Chinese) and Malay groups as a model of multicultural education. This accommodative social interaction is very important because, without accommodative social interaction, different ethnic groups can't live together. This research answers the question of how accommodating social interaction between ethnic groups in Palembang is a multicultural education. This research method uses a qualitative approach to describe accommodative social interactions. Meanwhile, data collection techniques are carried out through interviews, observation and documentation. The research results show that accommodative social interaction is carried out by understanding religious and cultural values ​​between ethnic groups and implementing deliberative accommodation, positive law enforcement and tolerance.

Abstract

Humans will never be separated from their culture, and that is the basis for labeling cultured humans. Over time, the culture has developed, which has also received influence from the times. It is not surprising that in the current millennial era, many values ​​from culture have faded, or even experienced a transformation of meaning because they have to be adapted to the millennial era. Of course the study of theology, dogmatics, and practical ethics will not ignore the understanding of this reality. This article explains the Christian perspective on cultured humans in the millennial era. Used qualitative (literature) research methods, this article describe the Biblical basis of cultured humans from both the perspective of the Old Testament and the New Testament. This article develops Christian teachings on cultured humans in the context and millennial era through the perspectives of theologians, and then explains how the thread relates to the theological documents of the Huria Kristen Batak Protestant (HKBP) church in particular. Through this article, concrete contextualization from a Christian perspective on cultured humans in the millennial era will be clearly broken down, especially in the pluralistic Indonesian context.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

The position of women remains a sensitive topic, both within and beyond the Pesantren. This research aims to examine the social construction of the power relations of the Nyai whose Kiai has left behind. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with snowball sampling. Data collection techniques use interviews, documentation, and observation. The subjects in this study were 4 Nyai from Singoludiro Islamic Boarding School, Al Mubarrok Islamic Boarding School in Boyolali, Qoshul Qur'an Islamic Boarding School in Klaten, and Nyai Al Muayyad Islamic Boarding School in Solo. Social construction consists of three stages. First, externalization occurred during the adjustment period following Kiai's marriage. Second, the objectification stage is carried out by considering the needs of the Pesantren. Nyai then continued Kiai's public role as a wife. It is a sign that a devoted wife must continue Kiai's struggle. The third stage of internalization occurs when Nyai is fully aware of Nyai's position as the sole caregiver in the Pesantren. The parenting pattern used by Nyai is still the same as the Pesantren criteria in providing complete care for Kiai and Nyai. What differs is that the actor caring for him is now a single actor. The connection between power relations and knowledge production is shown in various forms. It can be seen from Nyai that inherent capital, such as capital, cultural capital, and intellectual capital, can produce knowledge according to their basic abilities. This ability was developed through the production process that Nyai and Kiai underwent while living together and through the initial skills they had when managing their care in the past. The notable finding is that Nyai's parenting patterns tend to mirror those adopted from Kiai.

Abstract

Unplanned pregnancies among teenagers are often perceived merely as a lapse in individual self-discipline. Nevertheless, in Paremono Village, located in Magelang Regency, a community that upholds strong Islamic values, this issue reveals a sociological contradiction. This research seeks to understand why the moral regulations associated with religion fail in deterring risky sexual activities among young people. Employing a qualitative case study method, data were gathered through comprehensive interviews with 20 participants: 10 adolescent girls who are pregnant, 5 parents, and 5 religious leaders. The study's results indicate a breakdown in informal social control structures. Cultural and religious stigmas surrounding sexuality create obstacles to communication within families, resulting in a “reproduction of ignorance.” Consequently, adolescents experience cognitive dissonance: they have theological awareness about what constitutes “sin,” yet lack meaningful moral support to withstand external pressures. Viewed through the framework of Social Learning Theory, the absence of parental and religious guidance is compensated for by peer groups that normalize a liberal dating environment and digital pornography. This research concludes that an abundance of religious symbols does not guarantee moral internalization without engaging in and facilitating open educational discussions. This study suggests enhancing the involvement of religious leaders to reduce the stigma surrounding reproductive health education and to transition the teaching approach from a rigid to a more conversational style.

Abstract

This research analyzes the utilization of religious sentiment in the political campaign strategies of local political parties during the regional head elections (Pilkada) in Sidoarjo. The study employs a qualitative field research method through in-depth interviews, media content analysis, and observation. The purpose is to explore how religious symbols, narratives, and identity politics are mobilized to gain political legitimacy and mass support. In particular, the study focuses on how candidates strategically employ religious expressions, such as references to Islamic values, practices, and symbols, to resonate with voters, especially in a region where religion plays a significant role in social and cultural life. The results show that several political parties in Sidoarjo intentionally used religious issues, particularly those tied to Islamic values and institutions, as campaign tools. These strategies include invoking Islamic symbols, securing endorsements from religious leaders, and framing political discourse within religious narratives to appeal to religious sentiment. It has significant implications for the democratic process, raising concerns about the potential polarization of society and the manipulation of religious identity for political gain. Additionally, such practices may impact religious harmony in the region, as political parties exploit religious sentiments to consolidate their voter base. Theoretically, this study contributes to the discourse of political sociology and the sociology of religion by highlighting how religion is instrumentalized in contemporary electoral politics providing insights into the intersection of religion and political strategy in local governance.

Abstract

Religious communities have an important role in shaping and strengthening democratic practices and political participation in Surabaya, Indonesia. This research employed a qualitative approach, incorporating field observations, in-depth interviews, and literature reviews. The purpose of this article is to understand how religious values and institutions influence the political behavior of citizens. To achieve this objective, the study employs a qualitative case study approach in Surabaya. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with religious leaders and political activists, and a review of relevant literature. All data were then analyzed thematically to identify patterns of political participation among religious communities and how religious values shape their political actions. The findings show that religious actors such as clerics, church leaders, and interfaith communities play an active role in shaping political awareness, encouraging ethical political practices, and mobilizing voters. However, there are challenges, including the politicization of religion and the dominance of exclusive narratives. This study contributes to the sociology of religion by demonstrating how religious life in a plural society can become a force for democratization. Further research is suggested to explore digital religious activism in political contexts
