This paper aims to discover how to frame Muhammadiyah’s political direction news in the 2019 Presidential Election on Republika.co.id, Kumparan.com, and Tribunnews.com. From this phenomenon arises a question of precisely the political direction of Muhammadiyah in the 2019 Presidential Election? The method used in this research is the framing analysis of Robert N. Entman’s model, which states that each media constructing news must go through two stages, namely the selection of issues and the highlighting of aspects. Analyzing data obtained through 4 steps, (1) Define problems, (2) Diagnose causes, (3) Make moral judgment, and (4) Treatment Recommendation. This research shows that Muhammadiyah is a social organization in an association engaged in da'wah Amar Ma'ruf Nahi Munkar and Tajdid. Muhammadiyah as a religious movement has always been a lyric for the participants of the presidential election because it has an excellent political power second after Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), which is said to be a representation of the voice of Muslims. In early September, the number one vice-presidential candidate, Ma'ruf Amin, visited the central office. Muhammadiyah, and the previous month, the number two pair, Prabowo-Sandiaga, also asked for a blessing to participate in the 5th Annual event. After that, I reveal that this study showed three online mass media: Republika.co.id, Kumparan.com, and Tribunnews.com in their coverage of Muhammadiyah's political direction in the 2019 presidential election were neutral. Muhammadiyah, as a religious organization, chose consistency to maintain neutrality in the presidential election and give all Muhammadiyah citizens freedom to vote at the five-yearly event.Paper ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana pembingkaian berita arah politik Muhammadiyah pada Pemilihan Presiden tahun 2019 di portal berita Republika.co.id, Kumparan.com dan Tribunnews.com. Dari fenomena ini muncul sebuah pertanyaan kemana sebenarnya arah politik Muhammadiyah pada Pemilihan Presiden Tahun 2019? Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis framing model Robert N. Entman, yang menyatakan bahwa setiap media mengkontruksi berita harus melalui dua tahap, yaitu seleksi isu dan penonjolan aspek. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis melalui 4 tahap, (1) Define problems, (2) Diagnose causes, (3) Make moral judgement, dan (4) Treatment Recommendation. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Muhammadiyah merupakan organisasi sosial kemasyarakatan dalam bentuk persyarikatan yang bergerak pada wilayah dakwah amar ma’ruf nahi munkar dan tajdid. Muhammadiyah sebagai gerakan keagamaan selalu menjadi lirikan bagi peserta pemilihan presiden di setiap waktunya, sebab digadang-gadang memiliki kekuatan politik yang menjanjikan kedua setelah Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) yang konon merupakan representasi dari suara umat Islam. Pada awal bulan September yang lalu, calon wakil presiden nomor urut 1 Ma’ruf Amin berkunjung ke kantor PP. Muhammadiyah, dan bulan sebelumnya, pasangan nomor urut 2 yaitu Prabowo-Sandiaga juga meminta restu untuk mengikuti ajang 5 Tahunan tersebut. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan ketiga media massa online yakni: Republika.co.id, Kumparan.com dan Tribunnews.com dalam pemberitaannya terhadap arah politik Muhammadiyah dalam Pilpres 2019 bersikap netral. Muhammadiyah sebagai ormas keagamaan memilih istiqomah menjaga netralitas dalam Pilpres tersebut dan memberikan kekebasan bagi seluruh warga Muhammadiyah untuk memberikan hak suaranya pada perhelatan lima tahunan tersebut.

<p><em>Th</em><em>e Presence of Jehovah’s Witnesses which has contradictory concepts has harassed mostly Christian people, but it attracts many people to join this group. Even nowadays this denomination has a significant progress in number of population. This research is aimed to find the answer of the above problem and to describe about whether Jehovah’s Witnesses as a Christian denomination or religious sect in which its existence are opposed by Christian community in general. Subject of this research is focused on Jehovah’s Witnesses in Yogyakarta.   This Christian denomination becomes an international religious movement and has been assured in the 1945 Constitution as well as gets recognition from the government as a religious organization who has equal rights. In Yogyakarta, this group is also accepted; this is a picture of Yogyakarta as a multicultural city, and a town with high tolerance. In contrast, other Christian’s denominations have rejected this sect because it has different basic theology. The emergence of new denominations is caused by the absence of limitation in this open room. Therefore, it needs a “re-thinking” whether to leave this phenomenon free or to create a rule to control this situation so as to create harmony in managing religious life.</em></p>

Kedua, berbagai jawaban yang diberikan Ustadz Aam Amirudin dalam sesi tanya-jawab selalu memberikan alternatif dalam setiap permasalahan, namun demikian tetap tegas dan jelas sehingga menjadi kenyamanan tersendiri bagi mustami. Ketiga, MPI membuka peluang bagi dai-dai lain yang berasal dari Nahdhatul Ulama, Persatuan Islam, Muhammadiyah, Persatuan Umat Islam dan organisasi keagamaan lainnya atau praktisi akademisi untuk menjadi narasumber dan saling bahu membahu dalam rangka mencerdaskan umat, sehingga terjalin harmoni ditengah heterogenitas keberagamaan. Keempat, MPI hadir untuk memadukan nilai-nilai agama dengan budaya dan kearifan lokal yang yang diimplementasikan melalui model dakwah dengan mengedepankan spirit harmoni.  Kata Kunci: Majelis Percikan Iman, Dakwah, Harmoni, Organisasi Keagamaan, Bandung.   Abstract This article presents the results of research on the role of Majelis Percikan Iman (MPI) in bulding harmony in the heterogeneity of religious organizations in the Bandung city. This theme is important to study because there were many frictions between majelis taklim due to differences in ideas and views. This research was conducted with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection was done by interviewing, observing and studying literature on various documents related to the research theme. Based on the results of inductive analysis, some conclusions could be drawn as follows: First, the model of Ustadz Aam Amirudin's delivery which was friendly, relaxed and did not impeach certain groups in the learning process was the main attraction for MPI members from various ages and religious organizations. Second, various answers given by Ustadz Aam Amirudin in the question-and-answer session always provided alternatives in every problem, but remain decisive and clear, so that it brought a cosiness for the listeners. Third, MPI opened up opportunities for other Dai from Nahdhatul Ulama, Persatuan Islam, Muhammadiyah, Persatuan Umat Islam and other religious organizations or academic practitioners to be speakers in order to create a mutual support to educate the people, so that harmony was established in the heterogeneity of religiosity. Fourth, MPI is present to integrate religious values with culture and local wisdom that are implemented through the da'wah model by promoting the spirit of harmony. Keywords: Majelis Percikan Iman, Harmony Dakwah, Religious Organization and Bandung City.

Preferential Treatment

Legally preferential treatment of a religious organization is the legal conferral of a status that is more favorable than that accorded to other religious organizations. This essay introduces and analyzes the contrasting concept of deferential treatment. “Deferential treatment” refers to forms of favorable treatment that are cultural rather than legal. While the problems posed by legally preferential treatment of religion are well known, the problems posed by deferential treatment have received little attention. One problem is that when a religious organization receives deferential treatment, its authorities are not compelled to exercise their power in ways that track the interests of those over whom they exercise it. This leaves those subject to their power liable to abuse. Another is that deferential treatment encourages “benchmark traditionalism.” Benchmark traditionalism is problematic because it is politically unreasonable. These problems with deferential treatment give all citizens, including religiously committed citizens, reason to favor a culture of non-deference.

Validated Questionnaire

Objective: Religious organizations may influence health behaviors by exerting social influence and reinforcing cultural beliefs. We tested the hypothesis that social influence, constituted by affiliating with or attending religious organizations, was associated with exercise and weight in South Asians. Methods: Multilevel, cross-sectional data were collected from participants in the Mediators of Atherosclerosis in South Asians Living in America (MASALA) study. Participants (n=700) were surveyed about their affiliation/membership in religious organizations (e.g., churches, temples, mosques) where South Asians participate using a comprehensive roster. MASALA participants who reported affiliating with or attending the same religious organization were classified as co-attendees. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated from measured height and weight, and physical activity (PA) was assessed using a validated questionnaire. The dependent variables were BMI categories (normal and overweight/obese), and meeting the minimum recommended amount of exercise (≥500 metabolic-minutes/week of moderate-vigorous PA). The main independent variable was affiliation exposure, a measure of the level of exposure to overweight/obesity and PA level among co-attendees at religious organizations, which is an indicator of social influence. Exponential random graph models were conducted to examine associations between exposure to co-attendees’ overweight/obesity and PA and individuals’ overweight/obesity and PA. Models controlled for individual-level sociodemographic, cultural, and network characteristics. Results: Participants (average age 59 years, SD=9 and 43% female) affiliated with 163 unique religious organizations, and the median number of affiliations was 3 (IQR 2-7). Participants were significantly more likely to be overweight/obese (aOR=2.3, 95% CI=1.1, 4.8) as they were increasingly exposed to other overweight/obese participants through co-affiliation in religious organizations. Individual-level network characteristics (e.g., number of overweight/obese friends/family) were not associated with overweight/obesity. Co-affiliation in religious organizations was not associated with PA; however participants with less traditional South Asian cultural beliefs were more likely to exercise at least 500 met-min/week (aOR=2.5, 95% CI= 1.4, 4.7) than those who held more traditional cultural beliefs. Conclusion: South Asians who were exposed to other overweight/obese South Asians through co-affiliation in religious organizations were more likely to be overweight/obese. These results provide evidence of multilevel social and cultural influences on health. Lifestyle interventions that address social and cultural drivers of behaviors and are implemented in partnership with religious organizations could be effective at reducing CVD risk in South Asians.

AbstractThis article studies the interplay between Siddha medicine and Santhigiri, a Hindu guru organization in South India. Based on insights gained through ethnographic research in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, it analyzes how Santhigiri fashions itself as an indispensable actor in the restoration of Siddha medicine and valorizes its current Siddha medical activities. The article examines the dynamics that facilitate Santhigiri’s patronage of Siddha medicine and contribute to its continuing participation in the Siddha medical system. This social formation is conceptualized through the Bourdieusian framework of capital, arguing that Santhigiri’s appropriation of Siddha medicine bestows symbolic capital upon the organization, enabling it to secure and maintain a favorable position in the field of Hindu guru organizations. Furthermore, the article shows how, by adopting Siddha medicine, a religious organization such as Santhigiri with the necessary structural and financial means and a reputation for transcending economic interests extends the distribution of Siddha medicine beyond the Tamil community. Thus, the article emphasizes the reciprocal relationship between a religious organization and a medical system, arguing for the explanatory potential of conceiving of medicine as effective capital for religious organizations and, vice versa, of religious organizations as actors shaping the realm of medicine in India.

Russian Federation, as well as a number of European states, has started with a kind of revision of the views on activity of non-traditional, foreign religious organizations, world wide known as sects. In Russian Federation there has been a ban on activity of a “Aum Shinrikyou” sect, and in the city of Moscow the activity of “The Witnesses of Jehova” has also been banned. In France, “The Order of the Temple of Sun” and so-called Church of Scientology have been banned lately, while in Italy there have been close monitoring and controlling of occult religious organization going on. In regard to these recent events it was discovered that some religious organizations (sects) contributed to destabilization of society, strengthening of criminality and drug addiction, to the change of cultural standards and national thinking as well as to political destabilization of society and state. In addition to it, attention has also been paid to the children and family abuse and disrespect of the Labor Law.

New Generation

The subject of the article – the religious organization “New Generation” – is discussed as a new religious movement, and in the aspect of sociology of religion is to be typologically interpreted as a Christian neo-charismatic evangelical movement having formed as a result of cleavage. Attention is focused on the ways of political collaboration of the movement “New Generation” and the fundamental aspects of its political ideology. The choice of the study subject is grounded on the lengthy and active activity of the group in the territory of Latvia, its topicality, popularity and dynamic growth in the material as well as in the social and political aspects. It is proved by several indicators of social attention and identification – the number of publications in press, intensity of thematic discussions and forums on the Internet, publicity measures, TV broadcasts, political and public activities. The aim of the paper is to identify the main aspects of the political ideology of the religious organization “New Generation” by analyzing the available sources. In order to clear up these aspects, it is necessary to view the courses of activity of the religious organization and its activities in the spheres of civil, public and political participation. As the reference objects, mass media materials have been used as well as periodicals featuring the discourse of the organization (interviews with the organization leaders). As the primary source, the book New World Order by Alexey Ledyaev, the founder and main leader of „New Generation”, has been used in which he voices the main postulates of his revelation as well as the political guidelines for the future development of the system of administration of the world and of Latvia. The book of A. Ledyaev is to be judged as the quintessence of the political ideology of „New Generation” following which the social life in the congregation of this movement has been formed and ensured and which determines the degree of political participation and content of the movement adherents. The following hypothesis is brought forward in the study – the elements and aspects forming the political ideology and the system of world-outlook and values of the religious movement “New Generation” clearly indicate a representation of the ideology of the Christian reconstructionism and its adaptation to the context and political situation of Latvia. Factors like the social agents involved in the formation of communication networks, the rhetoric of expression used in the construction of the space for discourse, the content of ideas reflected in the narratives applied in the context of the organization, models of development planning of the strategic policy and political slogans allow identification of “New Generation” as a religious movement oriented to Christian fundamentalism, which construct its political ideology using the political technologies and action models of the rightist Christians. The political ideology realized by the organization contains features of Christian reconstructionism – political programmes and strategies. On this score, „New Generation” belongs to those Christian fundamentalist organizations that practise a radical and clearly targeted policy.

State Separation

Almost 24 years have passed since the adoption of the Constitution of Ukraine, however, the term «church» remains unclear in the legislation of Ukraine. Simultaneous using the terms «church» and «religious organizations» in some provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine and using only the term «church» in other provisions create the basis for an ambiguous interpretation of the constitutional principle of church-state separation and church-school separation. Such legal uncertainty in practice leads to a violation of the rights of believers in the application of constitutional provisions, in particular in the process of registration of religious organizations as a legal entity. The Constitutional Court of Ukraine decided that there were differences in the substance of the terms "church" and "religious organizations", which are primarily used in the legislation, but a clarification of these terms is the power of a legislative body, not the Constitutional Court of Ukraine. Nevertheless, the Parliament of Ukraine has not yet resolved the issue of interpretation of the term "church", which is used in the Constitution of Ukraine and is a legal ground to the whole sphere of legislative regulation of state-church relations. In all the provisions of the Law of Ukraine "On Freedom of Conscience and Religious Organizations", the term "religious organizations" is used, avoiding terminological ambiguity. The use of the term "religious organization" in the legislation of Ukraine is justified not only because of the universality caused by the lack of denominational affiliation but also because this term denotes the specific form of legal entities. In the article, the author gives arguments justifying the actuality for correction of the terminological conception, which is used in article 35 (3) of the Constitution of Ukraine, with the aim of introducing a unified approach in the whole legislation of Ukraine. However, it is permissible to use the term "church" for research purposes, giving it broad meaning as a public institution that embodies the diversity of religions and denominations.
