Abstract

The Sacrament of Reconciliation, central to Catholic doctrine, facilitates the restoration of relationships between the penitent, the community, and the divine. This study examines the implementation and experiences of the sacrament through the essential acts of repentance, confession, and penance, highlighting their roles in spiritual and moral transformations. Employing a qualitative approach, the research gathered data through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation at Stasi Santo Thomas Rasul Onan Rihit. The findings reveal that repentance initiates spiritual renewal while confession promotes transparency and humility, thereby strengthening communal bonds. Penance, tailored to individual transgressions, not only addresses past wrongs but also fosters spiritual growth and community harmony. Challenges remain in fully engaging penitents with the sacrament, pointing to the need for enhanced pastoral support and theological education. This study underscores the sacrament's enduring relevance and its capacity to facilitate profound spiritual life within the contemporary Catholic context.

Abstract

In Indonesia, religious life is a crucial aspect of national identity, as reflected in the 1945 Constitution. In Mbawa, a village in Donggo Ipa, religious diversity and local cultural values, such as tolerance and mutual respect, play a key role in fostering social harmony and preventing interfaith conflict.

Employing a descriptive qualitative research method, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. The findings reveal that interfaith tolerance in Mbawa Village is fostered through a strong kinship system, the Kaco'i Angi culture, and the practice of mutual assistance, supporting robust social harmony. The study concludes that interfaith tolerance in Mbawa Village reflects a deep integration of cultural and religious elements. The implications of this study suggest the need for policies supporting the preservation of cultural rituals like Raju to strengthen communal solidarity.

Abstract

This study explores the widespread issue of sexism in Malaysia, focusing on its impact on Muslim and Buddhist female workers. Employing a qualitative approach, the research involves observations, interviews, and documentation to examine how sexism affects women's job opportunities across various sectors. The findings reveal that despite legal progress, sexism remains deeply ingrained, manifesting through discriminatory practices that impede women’s professional advancement and reinforce gender stereotypes. Muslim women encounter additional challenges related to compliance with Islamic teachings in the workplace, while Buddhist women face cultural prejudices that impact their employment opportunities. This study contributes to the gender equality discourse by providing insights into the specific experiences of women in Malaysia, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to combat sexism and promote a more equitable society.

Abstract

The concept of "Kampung Toleransi" (Tolerance Village) is becoming increasingly significant in Indonesia as a strategy to promote ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity. This study explores the implementation of the Kampung Toleransi initiative in Jamika Village, Bojongloa Kaler District, Bandung City, which serves as a model for fostering interfaith harmony. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, involving observations, in-depth interviews with community and religious leaders, and documentation analysis. The results indicate that Kampung Toleransi has successfully promoted interfaith harmony through diverse social and religious programs, educational initiatives, and economic activities. However, challenges such as funding constraints, scheduling conflicts among religious activities, and external threats from radical ideologies remain. The study concludes that enhancing community participation and improving coordination can further strengthen the sustainability of Kampung Toleransi. These findings offer valuable insights for replicating this model in other diverse communities across Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to uncover the impact of Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and hedonism on consumptive behavior among Muslim millennials in Sibolga, North Sumatra, and how these behaviors interact with religious and social values within a culturally and religiously significant context. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research collected data through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving eleven Muslim millennials in Sibolga. The findings reveal that FoMO and hedonism contribute to increased consumption of luxury goods and experiences, driven by the desire to stay connected with global trends and achieve instant gratification, often at the expense of local religious values and traditions. This tension between engaging in modern lifestyles and maintaining cultural and religious identities presents a significant dilemma for the youth. The study suggests that educational and social interventions focused on sustainability values and spiritual awareness are necessary to help the younger generation balance the pressures of hedonism and excessive digital connectivity.

Abstract

The differences in thought between Abraham Geiger and Al-Ghazali in understanding Islam reflect two contrasting approaches to the Qur’an and the influence of tradition in religious education. This study aims to analyze how their intellectual perspectives have shaped theological development within their respective traditions and their impact on the broader study of religion. The research employs a qualitative method, focusing on an in-depth analysis of Geiger’s and Al-Ghazali’s works, alongside a comprehensive literature review to contextualize the historical and philosophical dimensions of their arguments. The findings indicate that Geiger, through his historical-critical approach, presents a more flexible interpretation of sacred texts, whereas Al-Ghazali upholds the authority and wisdom of the Qur’an as the primary foundation of Islamic knowledge. This intellectual discourse highlights the tension between rationalism and traditionalism in Islamic studies while illustrating the dynamic interplay between radicalism and religiosity within the Muslim world. Furthermore, this controversy underscores internal debates across various religious traditions and offers valuable insights into how interfaith dialogue can enhance the understanding of Islam and spirituality in the modern era. Ultimately, this study aims to contribute to a broader academic discourse on the interaction between religious tradition and critical thought in a global context.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of fanaticism and religiosity on verbal aggression among K-pop fans, particularly EXO-L fans in Medan City. A quantitative survey approach was used, involving 55 respondents as the research sample. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed with SPSS version 25 to assess the relationships between fanaticism (X1), religiosity (X2), and verbal aggression (Y). The results indicate that fanaticism has a significant correlation with verbal aggression, with a correlation coefficient of 0.508, while religiosity also shows a significant correlation with a coefficient of 0.550. Furthermore, a significant combined relationship was found between fanaticism and religiosity with verbal aggression, with a correlation coefficient of 0.685. This study concludes that fanaticism toward K-pop idols can drive aggressive behaviors, including verbal aggression, especially when idols or fan communities are perceived as being attacked. Religiosity, on the other hand, has a dual role: it can mitigate aggression through spiritual self-control or trigger aggression when religious values are perceived to be threatened by K-pop culture.

Abstract

This article considers the importance of religious tolerance especially in Islam and Hinduism amid religious conflicts and social tensions that often arise as a result of miscommunication with other religious teachings, especially in pluralistic societies such as Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to examine the concepts of religious tolerance taught in Islam and Hinduism through analysis of the holy scriptures of the Qur 'an and Veda. From qualitative methods with comparative approach and literature studies, this study shows that Islam and Hinduism both emphasize the importance of honoring differences, justice, and harmony in a common life. However, there is a difference in the theological approach, where Islam emphasis more on constancy, while Hinduism is more inclusive of its various spiritual pathways. It is hoped that the study can strengthen cross-religious understanding, enhance interfaith dialogue, and promote harmonious and peaceful social harmony.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of religious moderation as a moderator in the relationship between local wisdom and the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Indonesia. Local wisdom is a foundation of values that support social harmony, environmental sustainability, and economic sustainability, but its implementation often faces challenges in plural societies. Religious moderation, which emphasises tolerance, balance and the rejection of extremism, is considered a solution to maintaining social stability and enhancing the connectivity of local values with sustainable development. While there have been many studies on local wisdom and SDGs, there is a lack of studies linking religious moderation as a moderator variable. Using a quantitative approach, this study measures the effect of local wisdom on the achievement of SDGs and examines the moderating role of religion in strengthening the relationship. PLS-SEM analysis shows interesting results regarding the influence of local wisdom, religious moderation, and the achievement of sustainable development goals. The significant path coefficient indicates a strong relationship between local wisdom with religious moderation as a moderator. This finding supports the hypothesis that the higher the level of local wisdom in a community, the stronger the role of religious moderation in mediating the relationship with other variables. However, the analysis also shows an interesting negative relationship between religious moderation and sustainable development. This indicates that an increase in sustainable development is not always directly proportional to an increase in religious moderation.
