<![CDATA[Yusuf Bilyarta Mangunwijaya (often referred to as Romo Mangun; YBM) stands out as one of Indonesia’s architectural luminaries, and his architectural vision is deeply rooted in his religious background as a Catholic priest. This article delves into the intrinsic religious values embedded within one of Romo Mangun’s architectural masterpieces, the Church of Maria Assumpta or Gereja Maria Assumpta (GMA) in Klaten. This structure emanates a profound and sanctified ambiance by merging traditional Javanese architectural elements with a contemporary sensibility. By adopting a qualitative approach, explicitly employing a constructivist paradigm of symbolic interactionism and phenomenology theoretical schools, this research raises a question on how Mangunwijaya engraved his understanding and discernment of religiosity in his architectural work of GMA. By using Mangunwijaya’s GMA as a material object and his concept of religiosity as a formal object, it is found that he engraved his understanding and discernment of religiosity through his architectural work of GMA. To be religious is (1) to be a part of our own culture, which is shown by the space order; (2) to be focused on the Most High, shown by the orientation, ornaments, and liturgical light and colors; and (3) living in harmony, well-engraved in the proportion.]]>

<![CDATA[The Constitutional Court granted the petition for judicial review of the regulation to empty the religion column for indigenous faiths in family cards and electronic ID cards on November 7, 2017. This research focuses on the role of local religions in interfaith relations as a manifestation of religious moderation in Indonesia. Using qualitative data through literature study, this research explores the contribution of local religions in creating moderation, especially through moderation values that accommodate local wisdom. Local religions and moderation in religion can coexist, creating harmony in interfaith relations. This study highlights that ancestral and local religions have continued relevance in the face of changing times, making them important contributors to religious moderation and interfaith relations in Indonesia. By considering the Pancasila perspective of local religions, this study reveals how national values and history shape religious moderation. Meanwhile, local religions provide a foundation for building a harmonious society by raising awareness of relationships with nature and the environment. The findings suggest that history, nationality and the preservation of natural harmony by local religions simultaneously contribute to religious moderation in the context of local religions in Indonesia. ]]>

<![CDATA[This research focuses on how the cross culture of religion becomes social capital in maintaining religious harmonization in Rama Agung Village. In order to identify and examine in depth the social harmonisation created through the cross culture of religion in Rama Agung Village, the research method used is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques were non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and document studies. The informants are people who know and understand the research topic and come from different religious and ethnic backgrounds. The data analysis technique used the Miles and Huberman approach. The results showed that the cross culture of religion in religious communities in Rama Agung Village includes physical and non-physical aspects. Non-physical aspects include the emergence of values and norms in religious communities in Rama Agung Village related to social harmonisation through daily interfaith actions and behaviours such as visiting each other when adherents of other religions celebrate religious holidays, not disturbing each other in worship and others. The physical aspect is illustrated by the existence of FPUB (Forum of Religious Representatives) and acculturation in building ornaments and public places in Rama Agung Village.]]>

<![CDATA[In Indonesia, pervasive discrimination against women prompts this legal research to scrutinize the significance of women's presence in parliament. Cultural and structural barriers fuel gender inequality, rooted in patriarchal norms and religious doctrine. Laws restricting women to domestic roles and regional regulations further compound these challenges. Employing a multifaceted approach—analyzing statutory rules, exploring expert opinions, and studying relevant cases—the research focuses on women's representation in parliament. Cultural biases and structural discrimination are addressed, calling for a comprehensive strategy involving legal amendments, societal paradigm shifts, and political party reform. Gender quotas, such as affirmative action, are proposed to boost women's political participation. Success relies on sincere commitment from political entities and society, aiming for a democratic, inclusive Indonesia free from gender discrimination. This approach seeks to create a space for diverse citizen needs, embodying principles of democracy and equality.]]>

<![CDATA[Runtuhnya Orde Baru pada tahun 1998 menjadi titik balik upaya penataan institusi dan peran militer Indonesia. Penempatan militer pada jabatan sipil menjadi isu penting dalam penataan ini, sebab preseden Orde Baru memperlihatkan kondisi demikian tidak hanya mengganggu profesionalitas militer, tetapi juga konsolidasi demokrasi karena militer menjadi alat penopang kekuasaan Orde Baru. Penelitian ini merupakan tipe penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus yang dilakukan dengan proses pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam dengan informan yang dipilih secara purposif dan analisis dokumen terkait. Penelitian ini menunjukkan adanya perbedaan fundamental dalam fenomena penempatan militer pada jabatan sipil. Jika masa Orde Baru penempatan tersebut merupakan aktualisasi doktrin dan regulasi, maka pascareformasi penempatan tersebut merupakan perluasan posisi militer pada jabatan sipil. Keduanya memiliki dampak yang sama, yakni regresi demokrasi melalui bentuk kontrol sipil subjektif (subjective civilian control). Kondisi demikian juga memperlihatkan kendala dalam upaya penataan reformasi TNI yang terjadi pascareformasi.]]>

<![CDATA[Religious conflicts still occur in the social life of pluralistic Indonesian society, one of the causes is the absence of peace values that are manifested in the religious behavior of citizens. Researchers have the assumption that the values of peace understood by students as young citizens can affect the religious behavior displayed. Therefore, this study aims to find how much influence the perception of peace values has on the religious behavior of young citizens at State Religious Universities in Central Kalimantan. This research uses a quantitative approach with a correlational research type. The research was conducted at 3 (three) State Religious Universities in Central Kalimantan Province with 183 respondents as samples, namely students as young citizens with an age range of 18-24 years. This study uses data collection techniques in the form of a questionnaire using a Likert scale. Validity and reliability test used the help of the SPSS application with the normality test stage using the Kolmogorov Smirnov test, the linearity test with a significance value criterion of 0.05 and the hypothesis testing stage using the simple linear regression equation formula. Results of the data analysis of this study indicate that peace values affect the religious behavior of young citizens in State Religious Universities in Central Kalimantan Province by 65%. The existence of a strong correlation between peace values and religious behavior provides an important recommendation for government policy as well as supporting UN 2030 Agenda. Improving peace building in this case can be taught in the implementation of peace education with peace values consisting of making peace with God, self, others, the environment and other incidental themes.]]>

<![CDATA[Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pendirian Museum Holocaust Indonesia oleh diaspora Yahudi Sulawesi Utara dalam melawan antisemitisme yang relevan dengan kajian identitas dalam Hubungan Internasional. Kerangka konseptual meliputi dimensi antisemitisme serta adaptasi dan orientasi diaspora untuk mendapatkan pemahaman komprehensif mengenai eksistensi diaspora Yahudi terkait dengan fenomena antisemitisme. Dengan metode penelitian kualitatif, pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara dan studi pustaka yang dipisah, digabung, diinterpretasi, dan disimpulkan. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa diaspora Yahudi yang menjadi minoritas kerap mendapatkan sikap antisemitisme dari kelompok non-Yahudi di Indonesia, sehingga terdapat kepentingan peran untuk mengedukasi bahaya rasisme dan kebencian melalui museum. Komunitasnya yang ada di Sulawesi Utara menggunakan langkah komunikatif dan dialogis dengan masyarakat lainnya dan berhasil menjadikan Museum Holocaust Indonesia sebagai sarana edukasi sejarah Holocaust yang diharapkan dapat meminimalisir potensi antisemitisme di Indonesia. Hal ini menjadikan edukasi sebagai upaya eksplisit dan dialog sebagai upaya implisit dalam perjuangan mereka melawan antisemitisme yang mereka hadapi. Meskipun hasilnya belum terlihat signifikan, peran aktif diaspora dalam menjadikan museum sebagai media melawan antisemitisme dan dialog multikultural mengundang atensi dan partisipasi masyarakat baik secara lokal maupun internasional. Temuan tersebut mendukung argumen bahwa diaspora Yahudi di Sulawesi Utara memiliki kemampuan adaptasi yang cukup baik serta komitmen yang kuat dalam orientasi pada pemeliharaan sejarah.]]>

<![CDATA[The phenomenon of religious communication through online media, such as YouTube, has introduced a new mode of religiosity. This mode can be categorized into two types: religion online and online religion. Religion online involves using online media as a tool for disseminating religious messages and storing religious information, such as digital manuscripts and sermons, accessible anytime. Online religion, however, transcends this by making online media a space for religious communication and activities, as seen during the COVID-19 pandemic when religious practices moved online. This study focuses on the online religion aspect, examining the spiritual experiences expressed by Sundanese cultural figure Kang Yat R through the Si Rawing story series on YouTube. Using a qualitative case study approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews with Kang Yat R and analysis of YouTube content. The findings reveal that Si Rawing reflects Kang Yat R’s religious experiences in three forms: thought (doctrine), action (ritual), and community (group), aligning with Joachim Wach's perspective. This research highlights the importance of online platforms in preserving and conveying religious and cultural heritage to younger generations.]]>
