Pendidikan agama inklusif sebagai fondasi moderasi beragama: Strategi merawat keberagaman di Indonesia
Get PDFThe phenomenon of radicalism and religious extremism has strengthened in Indonesia in the last decade, even though Indonesia is known as a friendly and tolerant country. In fact, the religious education provided from elementary school to university has apparently not been able to build an inclusive religious perspective and attitude. It is assumed that religious education, including Christian Religious Education, which is taught is still oriented towards teaching a narrow doctrine so that many do not see diversity as an important context in the religious learning process. This article aims to promote inclusive religious education as the foundation of religious moderation in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative approach, with the method of analyzing the results of previous studies related to the policy and implementation of religious education in Indonesia, as well as conducting observations and interviews regarding the practice of religious education in schools on a macro basis, and making comparisons with the results of available research. This study finds that a paradigm shift in religious education is needed, both at the level of policymakers and education implementers. This study offers an inclusive religious education paradigm, which is seen as being able to change the perspective and attitude of exclusive religion because it prioritizes mutual trust and respect for human equality. AbstrakFenomena radikalisme dan ekstrimisme agama semakin menguat di Indonesia pada dekade terakhir ini, padahal Indonesia dikenal sebagai negara yang ramah dan toleran. Bahkan, pendidikan agama yang diberikan sejak masa Sekolah Dasar hingga perguruan tinggi rupanya belum mampu membangun perspektif dan sikap beragama yang inklusif. Diasumsiskan bahwa pendidikan agama, termasuk Pendidikan Agama Kristen, yang diajarkan masih berorientasi pada pengajaran doktrin yang sempit, sehingga belum banyak melihat keberagaman sebagai salah satu konteks penting dalam proses pembelajaran agama. Artikel ini bertujuan mempromosikan pendidikan agama inklusif sebagai fondasi moderasi beragama di Indonesia. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, dengan metode analisis terhadap hasil kajian sebelumnya terkait kebijakan dan implementasi pendidikan agama di Indonesia, serta mengadakan pengamatan dan wawancara sehubungan dengan praktik pendidikan agama di sekolah secara makro, dan melakukan perbandingan dengan hasil-hasil penelitian yang tersedia. Studi ini menemukan bahwa diperlukan perubahan paradigma pendidikan agama, baik pada level pengambil kebijakan maupun pelaksana pendidikan. Kajian ini menawarkan paradigma pendidikan agama inklusif, yang dipandang dapat mengubah perspektif dan sikap beragama eksklusif, karena mengutamakan sikap saling percaya dan penghargaan terhadap kesederajatan umat manusia
Konsep trinitarian pneumatologis sebagai landasan teologi agama-agama
Get PDFThe research explored the use of a pneumatological trinitarian theology as a basis of the theology of religions in the Indonesian context of diversity. We can develop a new basis of the theology of religions that goes beyond exclusivism and pluralism by using the trinitarian approach towards God??"s saving act in the Holy Spirit that moves beyond the church\u27s wall. The research used Veli-Mati Kärkkäinen??"s pneumatological trinitarian theology. Kärkkäinen explained that God??"s saving grace through the Holy Spirit, in the perichoretic movement, moved towards human boundaries, to call humans to experience God??"s saving act. At the end of the research, we would find that this specific theological approach is more suitable for Christians in understanding the Triune God but would be problematic to be understood by the people outside of Christianity. AbstrakTulisan ini mengangkat pendekatan trinitarian pneumatologis yang bisa digunakan sebagai dasar landasan teologi agama-agama dalam konteks keberagaman di Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan pemahaman teologi trinitarian dengan penekanan kepada karya keselamatan Allah dalam Roh Kudus yang melampaui batas gereja, sebuah teologi agama-agama dibangun atas basis baru yang melampaui eksklusivisme atau pluralisme. Penelitian ini akan menggunakan pemikiran teologi trinitarian pneumatologis Veli-Mati Kärkkäinen dengan metode penelitian kepustakaan. Kärkkäinen menjelaskan bahwa karya keselamatan Allah dalam Roh Kudus, yang tidak terlepas dari gerak perikoresis, bergerak melampaui sekat yang dibuat manusia, untuk memanggil manusia kepada karya keselamatan Allah. Pada akhirnya, pandangan trinitarian pneumatologis lebih khusus untuk orang Kristen sendiri dalam memahami Allah Trinitas namun mungkin akan lebih sulit untuk dipahami oleh orang di luar kekristenan

Covid-19 as paideia: reviewing the theological meaning of Covid-19 based on concept of the paideia in Hebrews 12:4-13
Get PDFDiscussions regarding the Covid-19 pandemic have been carried out by experts in the field of theology. They understood the pandemic as only punishment from God. The question that arises is, is the Covid-19 pandemic, solely a punishment from God? This question arises because, if God is only understood as an angry God, then that view will lead people to understand that God is evil. This article aims to examine the theological meaning of the Covid-19 pandemic based on the idea of paideia in Hebrews 12:4-13. My thesis is, Covid-19 is not only a form of punishment but also a manifestation of God\u27s love as well. The research method I use is qualitative research. Through that method, I offer a new perspective on the meaning of Covid-19 and demonstrate the theological meaning of Covid-19 as a form of education from God to shape human character for a better future
Harmonisasi masyarakat plural: Praktik sosial di sekolah teologi untuk membangun nasionalisme Indonesia yang inklusif
Get PDFIndonesian Nationalism is historic and ethical, not natural. It was born out of a shared history of various groups in Indonesia in their struggle against the colonials, and of an ethical decision that those groups consciously took to become one nation. Such an inclusive nationalism must be intentionally developed structurally, systemically, and continuously by all the elements of the Indonesian nation, lest it would be wiped out by centralism, primordialism disguising in the form of dominant-religion-based nationalism, and unjust distribution of membership along with all its respected rights. Using the analysis from the perspective of Character Ethics, this article shows that theological schools have an important role in the character formation of inclusive nationalism through social practice in theological schools. Social practice is not simply a series of activities, but a series of intentional actions which are done together repeatedly by the whole members of the community. The history of an institution that was intended to prepare pastor assistants in Yogyakarta until it becomes the Faculty of Theology, Universitas Kristen Duta Wacana, at present is presented in this article as a model of effective social practice in the formation of inclusive nationalism. The research focuses on the intersubjective relations between all members of the Duta Wacana community, which reflects the very rich and deeply human experience, that takes place in the local everyday life, including various policies that are born out of that relationship with the religious-cultural identity that becomes its context. AbstrakNasionalisme Indonesia bersifat historis dan etis, bukan alami. Ia lahir dari sejarah bersama kelompok-kelompok bangsa Indonesia melawan penjajah kolonial dan dari keputusan etis yang mereka ambil untuk menjadi satu bangsa Indonesia. Nasionalisme yang inklusif semacam itu harus dengan sengaja ditumbuh-kembangkan secara terstruktur, sistemik, dan berkesinambungan oleh segenap elemen bangsa agar tidak tergerus oleh ancaman sentralisme, primordialisme yang tersamar dalam bentuk nasionalisme berbasis agama dominan, dan ketidak-adilan distribusi keanggotaan beserta semua hak yang mengikutinya. Dengan menggunakan analisis dari perspektif Etika Karakter, tulisan ini menunjukkan bahwa sekolah-sekolah teologi memiliki peran penting untuk membentuk karakter nasionalisme yang inklusif melalui praktik sosial di sekolah-sekolah teologi terkait. Praktik sosial bukanlah sekadar rangkaian kegiatan, melainkan rangkaian tindakan yang dengan sengaja dilakukan secara bersama-sama berulang-kali oleh segenap anggota komunitas. Sejarah lembaga pendidikan asisten pendeta di Yogyakarta hingga menjadi Fakultas Teologi Universitas Kristen Duta Wacana diangkat dalam tulisan ini sebagai sebuah model praktik sosial yang terbukti efektif membentuk nasionalisme yang inklusif. Penelitian difokuskan pada relasi intersubjektif di antara segenap anggota komunitas ini, yang mencerminkan pengalaman insani yang sangat kaya dan mendalam, yang terjadi sehari-harinya dalam konteks lokalitas hidup, termasuk berbagai kebijaksanaan yang lahir dari relasionalitas tersebut serta identitas kultural religius yang menjadi konteksnya
