Abstract

This research aims to examine the principles of moderation in Buddhism and their application in the context of inter-religious harmony in Indonesia. The methodology used in this research is a religious approach using the Library Research method, included in the qualitative research category which collects data from primary and secondary sources. The analysis carried out is descriptive analytical, aiming to interpret existing conditions. The findings of this research indicate that Buddhist teachings, which emphasize universal love, dialogue, deliberation, and the concept of the middle way, are a very important foundation for creating religious harmony. This concept firmly rejects extremism and encourages transformation towards salvation through the practice of simplicity. However, there are significant challenges in implementing moderation in inter-religious dialogue, such as reluctance from some religious groups, emotional conflicts, and limitations in verbal communication. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to non-verbal aspects of communication and involve all parties to create an environment conducive to constructive dialogue. With sustainable understanding and practice, it is hoped that harmony and peace can be built amidst the diversity of religions and beliefs

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of religious moderation as a strategy for building and maintaining social harmony amidst the increasingly complex dynamics of globalization. Globalization opens up space for cross-cultural and interfaith interaction, but it also increases the potential for conflict due to differences in perspectives and identities. This study employs a qualitative-descriptive approach with library research as the main method. Data were collected through a review of various relevant literature sources, including scholarly journal articles, books, policy documents, and religious texts related to issues of religious moderation, pluralism, and social harmony. The analysis focuses on the challenges, strategies, and effective implementation of religious moderation in the era of globalization. The findings indicate that religious moderation plays a vital role in mitigating potential conflicts, strengthening shared values, and shaping an inclusive and respectful society. Key strategies identified include the roles of religious and community leaders, inclusive education, interfaith dialogue, government policy support, and the use of digital media as a means to disseminate values of tolerance. The study also finds that obstacles such as fanaticism, radicalism, and the influence of extreme ideologies pose significant challenges to the implementation of religious moderation. Through a comprehensive and collaborative approach, religious moderation can serve as a crucial pillar in strengthening social cohesion in multicultural societies in this global era.

Abstract

This study examines how Muhammadiyah East Java advances progressive, moderate Islamic communication through three official portals, PWMU.co, Klikmu.co, and Majelistabligh.id. We conducted a qualitative content analysis of twelve purposively selected articles published between January 2022 and July 2024, complemented by three semi-structured interviews with editorial staff. The Mediatization of Religion framework provided a lens to trace adaptations to digital media logics, while Uses and Gratifications served as an interpretive lens rather than a formal coding dimension. A codebook defined three categories: (1) Moderation and Wasathiyah, (2) Progressive Islam and Muhammadiyah ideology, and (3) Religion–Science integration. Articles were coded by a primary researcher, with a limited secondary check on a subset; no formal inter-rater reliability was conducted. Findings indicate a preliminary pattern in the use of moderation and progressive frames across platforms, with PWMU.co emphasizing analytical organizational discourse, Klikmu.co prioritizing concise, shareable pieces, and Majelistabligh.id focusing on moderation and deradicalization materials. Religion–Science integration appeared less frequently. Editorial testimonies suggest perceived audience interest in moderation-oriented content, although these indicators were self-reported rather than analytics-based. The study offers preliminary evidence of coordinated platform differentiation that maintains ideological coherence within a regional Islamic organization. Limitations include small sample size, confirmatory sampling, and restricted reliability testing, which constrain generalizability and underscore the need for larger comparative studies that incorporate audience analytics.

Abstract

Religious moderation is a vital foundation for maintaining social harmony in Aceh, particularly among Muslim converts who often struggle with religious and social adaptation. This study aims to describe how converts understand and practice moderation, to explore mentoring strategies carried out by the Aceh Da’wah Council (DDA) through a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, and to assess the changes in attitudes and social interactions that occurred during the program. The mentoring program was implemented over eight weeks (October–December 2024) with 35 participants, including DDA leaders and converts from different districts. Activities were organized into three stages: education and socialization, focus group discussions, and monitoring and evaluation. Data were collected through FGDs, semi-structured interviews, and participant observation, then analyzed qualitatively through data organization, coding, summarizing, and interpretation, with triangulation and member checking applied to strengthen credibility. The study found clear improvements in both the understanding and practice of religious moderation values. Converts demonstrated greater openness, respect for diversity, avoidance of extreme attitudes, and more active participation in community life. At the same time, the program reinforced the institutional role of the DDA, enhancing its capacity to provide sustained guidance for converts. The PAR approach proved relevant for fostering moderate religious attitudes among Muslim converts in Aceh by integrating Indonesia’s nine values of moderation into daily practice. While limited to the DDA setting, the study offers evidence that community-based mentoring can serve as a practical model for religious institutions and policymakers seeking to strengthen moderation and social harmony in comparable contexts.

Abstract

Religious Trauma Syndrome (RTS) has gained increasing scholarly and clinical attention as reports of psychological and spiritual distress linked to religious environments emerge across diverse contexts worldwide. Introduced by Marlene Winell, RTS refers to symptoms such as guilt, shame, fear of divine punishment, anxiety, and depression that persist beyond the individual’s departure from a religious community. This study seeks to examine the root causes of RTS through a qualitative library research approach, drawing on Winell’s work and recent studies within the past five years. Findings suggest that trauma is more often generated by the interpretation and enforcement of doctrine rather than by religious teachings themselves. Four major contributing factors were identified: pathological altruism, spiritual abuse, fear-inducing dogmatism, and exclusive community pressure. By distinguishing religion as a value system from harmful practices, this study contributes theoretically to the conceptual understanding of RTS and practically to therapeutic, educational, and communal strategies for creating spiritually safe environments.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the challenges faced by Catholic couples in building marital relationships in the early years (0–10) and formulate a new catechetical model based on “Shared Christian Praxis” (SCP) to strengthen couples' love relationships. How can catechesis transition from a limited preparation model to a sustainable accompaniment model that is responsive to the specific challenges of young couples? The method used was a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, with in-depth interviews with 17 Catholic couples in Santo Damian Lau Baleng Parish, Archdiocese of Medan, as well as participatory observation and documentation study. The findings show that couples face various challenges, including economic problems, poor communication, and a lack of pastoral assistance from the Church. Despite this, couples show good resilience skills by integrating spiritual and practical aspects into their daily lives. High expectations for the Church's role in sustainable mentoring were expressed by informants, who wanted a more systematic and relevant program. This study recommends the development of a holistic and sustainable mentoring program, as well as the establishment of a community support network to assist young Catholic couples in facing the challenges of marriage. Thus, SCP-based catechesis is expected to bridge the gap between the Church's teachings and the experiences of young Catholic couples

Abstract

Faced with the deforestation crisis in Southeast Aceh, with the rate of forest loss reaching ±5,000 hectares/year based on KLHK data in 2024, and the phenomenon of ecological faith dissociation among Catholic Youth (OMK), this research develops an ecological catechesis model based on Shared Christian Praxis (SCP). This model is designed to transform OMK into agents of environmental conservation while overcoming the limitations of conventional catechesis, which is monologic and abstract. By applying Martin Heidegger's (1962) hermeneutic phenomenological method, data were collected through in-depth interviews (31 OMK and 14 community and church leaders), participatory observation of ecological catechesis and reforestation activities, and document study in Southeast Aceh (April-June 2025). The findings prove that (1) the SCP model succeeded in increasing the ecological awareness of 72% of OMK participants through spiritual transformation that interpreted “planting trees as a liturgy of life”; (2) the integration of Laudato Si' teachings with the local wisdom of Adat bak Poe Teumeureuhom strengthened context-based ecological identity; and (3) real action commitments were manifested in reforestation participation (80%) and reduction of single-use plastics (65%). Key recommendations include the adoption of an integrated catechesis module, the church and government, and advocacy for an “ecological refugee” policy based on the Vatican document (POCDP). Theologically, this research affirms the ecological crisis as a path of holiness while making a significant contribution to the development of practical theology, particularly in building a participatory, contextual, and action-oriented ecological catechesis paradigm as a manifestation of authentic faith.

Abstract

The Sekaten ceremony in Yogyakarta has been preserved for centuries as part of the commemoration of the Prophet Muhammad’s birth. This study analyzes how three central rituals of the Sekaten, namely Miyos Gongso, Miyos Dalem, and Grebeg Mulud, function as symbolic media for transmitting Islamic devotion, ethical guidance, and communal solidarity through Javanese cultural forms. The research applies a qualitative descriptive approach with a phenomenological and symbolic framework. Data are based on textual and historical sources that document Islamic acculturation and ritual practice. The analysis employs hermeneutic interpretation supported by triangulation of data and theory as well as interpretative phenomenological analysis to strengthen credibility and depth of interpretation. The findings show that Miyos Gongso conveys Islamic teachings through gendhing compositions that emphasize sincerity, repentance, and purity while remaining embedded in Javanese musical aesthetics. Miyos Dalem presents the Prophet’s biography as a form of ritual pedagogy that promotes ethical emulation and parallels the manaqib tradition. Grebeg Mulud culminates the celebration with gunungan offerings that express gratitude to God, dramatize life’s struggles, and reinforce communal solidarity through shared participation. The study demonstrates that the spread of Islam in Java was achieved not by rejecting existing traditions but by reinterpreting them symbolically. The Sekaten illustrates how Islamic values were embedded in cultural practices, producing a synthesis that remains socially persuasive and spiritually meaningful. This case contributes to scholarship on religion and culture by showing how faith becomes localized through cultural engagement and symbolic negotiation.

Abstract

This study investigates the inheritance rights of wives and children in unregistered (siri) marriages within the community of Silandoyung Village, Silau Kahean District, Simalungun Regency. Using an empirical socio-legal approach, the research combines field interviews with village officials, religious leaders, traditional leaders, and affected families, alongside a normative analysis of Islamic law, the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI), and Indonesian positive law. The findings reveal that the community acknowledges inheritance rights for wives and children from siri marriages based on religious values and customary norms, despite the absence of state recognition due to the lack of official marriage registration. This discrepancy creates potential inheritance disputes, reflecting a legal tension between religious-customary legitimacy and state law. From the perspective of Islamic law, siri marriages are valid if their pillars are fulfilled, granting wives and children inheritance rights; however, under Indonesian positive law, registration is mandatory for legal recognition. The study concludes that marriage registration is not merely an administrative formality but a crucial mechanism to harmonize state law with local wisdom, thereby ensuring legal protection and justice for women and children in siri marriages.

Abstract

Sibolga is a coastal city in Indonesia characterized by high ethnic and religious diversity, shaped by a long history of trade, migration, and cultural exchange. This study aims to examine how religious pluralism is managed and the challenges of tolerance in a multicultural society. Using a qualitative method through literature review and interviews, the research identifies two main realities: the potential for harmony through values of mutual cooperation, deliberation, and the local motto “berbilang kaum, satu tujuan” (“many groups, one goal”), as well as vulnerabilities caused by issues of ethnicity and religion (SARA), radicalism, economic inequality, and the politicization of religion. The findings highlight four strategies for strengthening tolerance: multicultural education, structured interfaith dialogue, the role of local leaders as mediators, and the revitalization of cultural values. The novelty of this research lies in its emphasis on solutions grounded in the social practices of Sibolga’s community, making it an adaptive model with potential for replication in other multicultural regions of Indonesia.
