Broad Meaning

Religious pluralism is a constructive attitude, not only theological normative awareness but also social awareness, where we live in a pluralistic society in terms of religion, culture, ethnicity, and various other social diversity. In addition, religious pluralism must also be understood as a true affinity for diversity. Religious pluralism is a concept that has a broad meaning, is related to the acceptance of various religions, and is used in different ways. Pluralism aims to deconstruct absolutism, asserting relativism and underlying tolerance for differences, heterogeneity, and pluralism not only as facts that must be recognized but pluralism is seen and treated as a form of positivism, not negativism. Besides religious pluralism is also used as a unifying tool and glue for a country, both from the lower, middle and upper classes. In addition, a pluralist who promotes pluralism through pluralism must acknowledge and defend these differences, pluralism, and heterogeneity to be used as useful things. But in fact until now in the midst of society, there are still different perceptions in interpreting plurality and the term pluralism, understanding multicultural meaning based on sharia, not just mere personal perception.

The United States has never been culturally or religiously homogeneous, but its diversity has greatly increased over the last century. Although the U.S. was first a multicultural nation through conquest and enslavement, its present diversity is due equally to immigration. In this paper I try to explain the difference it makes for one area of thought and policy – equal opportunity – if we incorporate cultural and religious pluralism into our national self-image. Formulating and implementing a policy of equal opportunity is more difficult in diverse, pluralistic countries than it is in homogeneous ones. My focus is cultural and religious diversity in the United States, but my conclusions will apply to many other countries – including ones whose pluralism is found more in religion than in culture.

In and of itself a constitutional democracy is meaningless. It is the extent to which our rights as individuals in a pluralistic society are given effect and respected that brings to life the constitutionally enshrined values and principles. Religious diversity in a secular society acts as a catalyst of ingredients for conflict in the workplace. Specific legislation has been enacted to give effect to the right against unfair discrimination. Our courts have implemented and interpreted such equality legislation as imposing a duty of accommodation on the employer with regards to the employee’s religion. Our labour-law jurisprudence on transfers of business has recognized a duty offairness that cuts both ways in favour of the employee and employer. In operational requirement exercises the co-operation of both parties is required. In Canada, a duty of mutual accommodation has been utilized in religious discrimination cases. The current duty of accommodation should be extended to include a duty of mutual accommodation given that religious pluralism is a phenomenon affecting both employee and employer, thus enjoining both parties to engage in realistic measures to embrace diversity.

Pluralism is not only a theological consciousness, but also social consciousness. This has implications for the awareness that humans live in a pluralistic society in terms of religion, culture, ethnicity and various other diversity. According to Nurcholish Madjid, Islamic education, both formal and non-formal, is a bridge to internalize pluralistic values or inclusive creeds to students. Al-Quran is the main foundation of Islamic education practice. On that basis, Islamic education is required to present social morality so that the humanistic messages contained in the holy book can be used as guidelines for civilized social life. This research wants to look in more detail about Nurcholsih Madjid's framework of thinking about religious pluralism in Islamic education. This research uses the literature review method, so that the writing refers to the sources of writing, such as articles, journals, books that are in accordance with the discussion of this research.

Using Meditation as a medium in Counseling makes the counseling process fresher and more interesting. Because one of the challenges a counselor must face in the interfaith Guidance and Counseling process is how to respond to religious differences. Religious differences should not be an obstacle in the counseling process. Understanding religious pluralism is a need for a counselor in the counseling process in a pluralistic society. Religious pluralism is based on the assumption that all existing religions are equally valid paths to God. The practice of meditation at Vihara Karangdjati is a clear example of the attitude of pluralism. There, people from different religious backgrounds gather and socialize in a peaceful and understanding manner between religions. Counseling and religious pluralism in meditation at Vihara Karangdjati is the provision of counseling services to meditation participants of different beliefs or religions with a meditation guide as a counselor. The awareness of the guides and meditation participants on religious pluralism makes the process of meditation as interfaith counseling run well
