Abstract

This study explores the intersection between spiritual ecology and indigenous wisdom as foundational elements for sustainable environmental practices in Indonesia. The research aims to address the underexplored integration of cultural and spiritual values within modern environmental policies by demonstrating how traditional ecological knowledge and spiritual beliefs foster pro-environmental behaviour. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with four individuals actively engaged in conservation work across non-profit, indigenous, household, and educational sectors. Thematic analysis was used to identify key motivational patterns rooted in religious responsibility, spiritual reflection, gratitude for nature, and concern for future generations. The findings reveal that spiritual and indigenous values serve as intrinsic drivers of ecological behaviour, aligning with the Bio-Psycho-Social-Spiritual (BPSS) framework. These values are translated into practical conservation efforts, such as forest protection, biodiversity preservation, and environmental education. The study suggests that the incorporation of indigenous spirituality into environmental governance can produce culturally grounded, ethically robust sustainability models. The originality of this research lies in its empirical linkage between lived spiritual experiences and policy-oriented environmental practices, offering a transdisciplinary perspective that bridges scientific rationality with cultural relevance.

Abstract

This study explores how members of the Dayak Tunjung Christian community in Lamin Telihan, East Kalimantan, continue to practise and affirm traditional beliefs in reincarnation (Suli) and ritual healing (Belian) despite their formal affiliation with the Evangelical Christian Church (GKII). The research aims to understand the dynamics of religious identity negotiation between institutional Christianity and local cosmological frameworks that have long shaped the community’s worldview. Using a qualitative approach and grounded theory methodology, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and field notes involving traditional leaders, church members, and community elders. The findings reveal that Suli and Belian persist not merely as residual pre-Christian practices but as active, meaningful expressions of lived religion that contribute to spiritual resilience and cultural continuity. These practices function as alternative frameworks for interpreting life, death, and healing—often offering more inclusive and contextually relevant narratives than doctrinal Christian eschatology. The study shows that religious conversion among the Dayak Tunjung is not a linear or total rupture from the past but a layered process of hybridisation and negotiation. The research contributes to scholarship on syncretism, vernacular religion, and ethical pluralism by presenting a unique Indonesian case where indigenous cosmologies coexist with global religious structures. This originality lies in its focus on reincarnation within a Christian setting—a subject rarely explored in Southeast Asian contexts—highlighting the adaptive and dialogical nature of religiosity in multicultural societies.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of interfaith relations and religious tolerance among students and lecturers in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), Indonesia—a pluralistic region known for its strong communal values and peaceful coexistence. The research aims to uncover how everyday interfaith interactions, embedded in local traditions, contribute to maintaining religious harmony amidst global trends of rising extremism and polarisation. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 961 respondents across 47 universities through a structured questionnaire. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA, were conducted to explore patterns of interfaith engagement, negative experiences, and exclusivist attitudes. Findings indicate a high frequency of positive interreligious interactions and minimal negative experiences such as discrimination or exclusion. Both students and lecturers strongly reject religious exclusivism and violence, with lecturers demonstrating slightly higher tolerance levels. Based on these insights, the study introduces the NTT Interfaith Pluralism Model, which comprises four core principles: interpersonal proximity, cultural anchoring, mutual visibility, and educational responsibility. These principles reflect how religious harmony in NTT is sustained through daily practices, local wisdom, and the role of educators as moral exemplars. The study offers practical implications for fostering inclusive religious environments, especially in multi-faith societies across the Global South. Rather than focusing solely on policy or formal dialogues, this model highlights the power of informal social interaction and community-embedded ethics. The originality of this research lies in its context-sensitive approach and contribution to understanding pluralism in peaceful settings, offering a scalable and replicable framework for other plural societies.

Abstract

This study explores assessment practices in Catholic religious education across junior secondary schools in Indonesia, with the primary aim of understanding how teachers evaluate student learning in plural and culturally diverse contexts. Set against the backdrop of Indonesia’s multicultural society, the research addresses the growing need for inclusive, value-based, and contextually adapted religious education. Employing a qualitative narrative phenomenological approach, the study draws upon semi-structured interviews with six Catholic religious education teachers from Western, Central, and Eastern Indonesia. Supplemented by curriculum documents and analysed using thematic analysis with ATLAS.ti, the research captures teachers’ lived experiences and assessment strategies. The findings reveal that teachers employ a hybrid model of evaluation—combining written tests, projects, discussions, and reflections—that aligns with students’ social realities and moral development. Assessment is used not only to measure knowledge, but also to reinforce ethical behaviour, religious tolerance, and community engagement. The study highlights the importance of parental involvement, technological integration, and context-responsive pedagogy in enhancing learning outcomes. The implications suggest that Catholic religious education can play a strategic role in promoting social cohesion and intercultural understanding in a plural society. This research contributes original insights by providing a regionally comparative and empirically grounded account of assessment in faith-based education, emphasising the role of teacher agency in navigating doctrinal integrity and multicultural sensitivity.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of ethnicity and family structure on childhood sexual abuse (CSA) experiences among women in Nigeria, with a particular focus on the moderating role of religious affiliation. Recognising the alarming national prevalence of CSA—estimated at 35%—the study addresses critical gaps in understanding how socio-cultural and familial variables intersect with religion to shape vulnerability. Using a cross-sectional, quantitative design, data were collected from 2,757 women across rural and urban areas in Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones through a multistage probability sampling method and structured electronic interviews. Descriptive, bivariate (Chi-square, Cramer’s V), and multivariate (logistic regression) analyses were conducted to assess the relationship between CSA, ethnicity, and family dynamics. Findings reveal that women from Igbo, Yoruba, and minority ethnic groups—particularly within Muslim and Christian communities—are significantly more likely to report CSA, especially those raised in polygynous households or by single parents or grandparents. Notably, Christians reported a higher prevalence of CSA than Muslims, suggesting religious variations in disclosure or exposure. These findings underscore the need for culturally and religiously sensitive interventions, policies, and child protection strategies that address ethnic and familial vulnerabilities. The originality of this study lies in its intersectional and nationally representative approach, offering a nuanced understanding that transcends the limitations of prior localised studies and contributes meaningful insights for policy and practice in child protection.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of integrating the Iceberg Analysis and the U-Process as a pedagogical framework to promote religious moderation in a multifaith Indonesian secondary school. Given the rising concern over religious intolerance and youth vulnerability to radical ideologies in pluralistic societies, the study addresses the urgent need for reflective and participatory learning approaches that can transform attitudes and behaviours. Employing a mixed-methods design, the research involved 100 students of different religious and ethnic backgrounds at SMA Negeri 1 Barus Jahe, North Sumatra. Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, questionnaires, classroom observations, and student reflections. Thematic and statistical analyses revealed significant improvements in students’ understanding, awareness, and enactment of religious moderation values, with average cognitive scores increasing from 55 to 81.5 and behavioural awareness from 48.75 to 78.25. These findings suggest that integrating the Iceberg Analysis and U-Process facilitates cognitive development and deep emotional and ethical internalisation of interfaith values. The study contributes to religious education by proposing a culturally contextualised and empirically validated model that bridges conceptual understanding and real-world practice. Its originality lies in synthesising two transformative learning approaches into a unified pedagogical strategy tailored for pluralistic and multicultural settings, with practical implications for curriculum design, teacher training, and interfaith peacebuilding.

Abstract

This study explores how African Christians in Germany navigate the tension between maintaining their confessional identity and engaging in increasingly pluralistic and secular societies. Recognising the pastoral and theological challenges posed by epistemological relativism and interreligious equality, the research introduces the Christomatric Model as a relational framework for Christian missions. Employing a qualitative methodology with a reflective-hermeneutic approach, data were collected through informal conversations, participant observation, and written reflections within the African Catholic Community in Mannheim. Thematic analysis revealed that believers frequently moderate their expressions of faith—avoiding exclusivist language, concealing religious symbols, and adopting neutral terminology—due to fear of rejection or social stigmatisation. These findings underscore Christians' internal and external pressures in pluralistic settings and highlight the need for alternative pastoral strategies. The Christomatric Model responds by reframing Christian witness as relational accompaniment rather than doctrinal confrontation, offering a theologically grounded and contextually sensitive approach that upholds faith integrity while fostering interfaith respect. This study contributes original insights into contextual missiology by shifting the mission's focus from conversion to presence and by providing a concrete theological response to the lived experiences of believers in pluralistic societies. Its originality lies in articulating a mediatory paradigm that integrates doctrinal fidelity with relational openness, filling a significant gap in current theological and pastoral discourse.

Abstract

This issue presents interdisciplinary research that explores the intersection of religion with contemporary global and local challenges, including ecological sustainability, pluralism, and social vulnerability. The articles in this issue introduce significant contributions to religious studies by examining how religious practices can respond to environmental and social crises. Key contributions include the role of indigenous wisdom and ecological spirituality in environmental conservation, as well as the impact of religious pluralism in educational contexts that foster interfaith understanding and tolerance. Additionally, this issue discusses the importance of a pastoral approach emphasising relational accompaniment in pluralistic societies and the need to develop policies that are sensitive to social trauma. Through these approaches, this issue affirms that religious studies must be viewed as a source of ethical reflection and social transformation in addressing the complexities of the contemporary world. The primary focus of this issue is on integrating theological perspectives, ethics, and social action as a step towards building inclusive and just societies.
