Abstract

This article explores the relationship between social capital and interreligious practices in Indonesia. Most discussions of interreligious practices in Indonesia focus on how they directly contribute to discussions of tolerance and peace. Although this is not entirely wrong, the causal relationship between the two is not direct, but through a social process. Therefore, further analysis is needed, especially to unravel the social processes that cause interreligious practices to correlate with tolerance in peace. In interreligious practices, social capital has not yet been explored. This article focuses on finding answers to two main questions: first, what are the different forms of interreligious dialogue in Indonesia, and second, how can interreligious practices contribute to social capital formation in Indonesia. This study, conducted through a comprehensive literature review, shows that religious believers in Indonesia engage in several types of interreligious practices that actively shape their lives. The different practices, undertaken by various actors in all regions of Indonesia and pursued collectively, consistently, and simultaneously, foster bridging social capital that serves as a strong defense against religious conflicts in Indonesia, either by preventing them or reducing their impact.

Abstract

Indonesians have been known to be predominantly moderate Muslims to the present day. However, the developments show the rise of the Conservative and Radical Islam (CRI) movement that challenged moderate Islam’s dominance for the last two decades. Yet, there is a recent ideological shift among the groups towards a more inclusive standpoint. This research aims to provide a critical account of the ideological shift and religiopolitical behavior of CRI groups. This research employed a qualitative approach, in which the data were collected through a literature review and interviews with CRI figures. The study discovers that the sociohistorical origins, ideology, and religiopolitical behavior of CRI in Indonesia are rooted in the spread of Salafism and Wahhabism in the Middle East and East Africa. It also reveals that the rise of CRI movements in Indonesia is related to the development of political Islam since the rise of the reformasi era in 1998. Moreover, the study also finds that some CRI actors tend to lower their exclusive and radical approach to some extent as they tend to be more realistic toward current religious and political issues.

Abstract

Contemporary democracy often faces challenges in realizing inclusivity, particularly regarding minority groups’ access to the right to speak, participate, and make collective decisions. In this respect, this article examines inclusive democratic practices based on local values inherited from Minahasan ancestors, highlighting symbols and practices centered on the Watu Pinawetengan site. This research focuses on the Minahasan community’s acceptance of the Muslim immigrant community as a minority group that was vulnerable to being marginalized. Using descriptive qualitative methods and analysis based on Marianne Moyaert’s hospitality perspective, this article examines textual sources such as journal articles, books, and other relevant documents to understand how hospitality values are embedded in Minahasan social practices. The results show that deliberative practices at Watu Pinawetengan, where Minahasan ancestors divided territory dialogically and equally, symbolize a legacy of participatory and open democracy. These values continue to be lived out in inter-community relationships, including interactions with Muslims exiled to the region during the colonial period. This article argues that democracy can be constructed not only through formal institutions but also through the reinterpretation of local cultural heritage that upholds openness, equality, and hospitality across identities.

Abstract

This study explores community responses to the use of loudspeakers during the Dikili tradition in Tomulabutao, Gorontalo, Indonesia. Dikili, an overnight religious ritual, often features amplified chants and hymns as part of the local soundscape and cultural identity. While these sounds are familiar and accepted by indigenous Gorontalo residents, they have sparked varied responses from non-local newcomers living in mixed housing areas. Using a qualitative approach, the study draws on in-depth interviews with residents to gain an understanding of their perceptions of religious sound in shared spaces. Findings reveal that while many non-Gorontalo residents gradually acclimate to the broadcasts, concerns persist regarding excessive volume. In response, mosque management implemented volume adjustments to strike a balance between cultural expression and residential comfort. The study emphasizes the importance of dialogue and negotiated practices in fostering social harmony within diverse, multicultural communities.

Abstract

This article analyzes the Kotabaru Jazz Festival in Yogyakarta as a form of inclusive spatial production within the context of Muslim-Christian relationships. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and Edward Soja’s Thirdspace framework, this article explores how public space in the Kotabaru cultural heritage area has been reproduced through collaborative work across religions, communities, and social institutions. Data were obtained through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and field documentation. The research findings indicate that the festival is not merely a cultural event, but also a spatial practice that combines three spatial dimensions: physical space, representational space, and lived space. The use of spatial elements such as churches, mosques, heritage buildings, and public streets serves as a symbol of diversity and nationalism. Interactions between individuals and groups during the festival create tangible forms of interfaith solidarity. The visual representations, artistic expressions, and public narratives present in the festival form a symbolic space that encourages social inclusion and opens up space for interfaith pedagogy. This article confirms that festivals as social and cultural practices have the potential to create dialogical spaces and strengthen social cohesion in multifaith societies in a postcolonial context.

Abstract

The encounter between religion and various cultures often results in a dynamic interaction, as it has to adapt to the existing traditions lived by the people. Examining such studies will reveal the tension and the dialectical dimension, helping us better understand how people perceive religion. This article aims to understand the relationship between Islamic rituals and Acehnese cultural practices, an area known as the “Veranda of Mecca”. By analyzing and interpreting extensive sources from a literature review, including academic literature, local religious texts, and historical archives, this qualitative research reveals that religious practices in Aceh, particularly the Commemoration of the Prophet Muhammad’s birth, congregational dhikr, tahlilan, and tarekat traditions, are the result of a centuries-long dialectic between Islamic teachings and the local traditions. Furthermore, it reveals two main views toward the religion: the textual view, which emphasizes the essence of the teachings and rejects cultural innovation, and the contextual view, which accepts acculturation. These approaches sometimes trigger tension, but also enrich the treasury of Islam and strengthen the social solidarity of the Acehnese people. This study underscores the importance of an inclusive, dialogical understanding as an interpretive resource for building a distinctive, harmonious religious identity in Aceh.
