Religious Dialogue

Indonesia faces the problem of differences for many year ago until now. Even though, Pancasila symbolizes the unity but mostly in religious relationship have a cliff between ''us’’ and ‘’them’’ for many reasons recently. Another problem emerges in area of  Religious pluralism, makes the situation more difficult. The reality of religious diversity is isolated by misleading and shallow interpretations. The space for dialogue is insulated by religious formalism and theological claims of truth. The dialogue of agreement, both inclusivism and pluralism, has not been able to knit religious plurality. Traditions, symbols, rituals, ethical dimensions and universal core in religious dialogue as a precondition do not find space. In this context, the author is trying to offer the idea of "Global Ethics" by Hans Küng as a new understanding of religious dialogue.   === Indonesia menghadapi masalah perbedaan selama bertahun-tahun yang lalu hingga sekarang. Meskipun Pancasila melambangkan persatuan, tetapi sebagian besar dalam hubungan agama memiliki jurang antara '' kami 'dan' mereka 'karena banyak alasan baru-baru ini. Masalah lain muncul di bidang pluralisme agama, membuat situasi lebih sulit. Realitas keragaman agama diisolasi dengan interpretasi yang menyesatkan dan dangkal. Ruang untuk dialog terisolasi oleh formalisme agama dan klaim kebenaran teologis. Dialog kesepakatan, baik inklusivisme dan pluralisme, belum mampu merajut pluralitas agama. Tradisi, simbol, ritual, dimensi etis, dan inti universal dalam dialog keagamaan sebagai prasyarat tidak menemukan ruang. Dalam konteks ini, penulis menawarkan ide "Global Ethics" oleh Hans Küng sebagai pemahaman baru tentang dialog agama.

Religious Dialogue

ABSTRACT: Religious pluralism in Indonesia is currently in a state of confusion. The reality of religious diversity is insulated by misguided and superficial interpretations. The space for religious dialogue is entangled by group selfishness, squeezed by religious formalism, as well as claims of theological truth. The approach of dialogue, both exclusivism and inclusivism and even pluralism, has not been able to knit religious plurality. Traditions, symbols, rituals, ethical dimensions and the universal core in religions as a precondition of dialogue are actually a ignored. Such pluralism leads to the relativism of the teachings of religions. In that context, the author offers two approach concepts as a new way of interreligious dialogue. '' Global Ethics '' by Hans Kg and '' Perennial Philosophy '' by Seyyed Hossein Nasr. These two concepts provide an understanding of the unique and unique dimensions of religions that must be observed and should not be ignored. KEYWORDS: global ethics, Perennial Philosophy, traditions, dialogue, exclucivism, inclusivism, pluralism

How should Christians, who possess the awareness that seemingly benevolent and intelligent people hold different and even contrary religious convictions, respond to the epistemic dilemma of religious plurality? What might an epistemologically and missiologically justifiable response to the reality of religious diversity and disagreement look like? Are Christians under any obligation to resolve such epistemic conflicts? Five approaches (non-exclusivism, religious pluralism, epistemic permission, hard exclusivism, and soft exclusivism) that answer these questions differently will be evaluated both on the merits of philosophical plausibility and missiological viability.

The Relationship

The philosophical challenge that religious diversity poses for religious belief has become in recent years the focal point of a very engaging theological and philosophical debate. The debate began in the Christian context and it would be fair to say that its main issue remains the relationship of Christianity to other major religions. Traditionally Christian thinkers faced with the fact of religious plurality have assumed that Christianity is the only way to salvation, and the truth-claims of other religions can be refuted by way of argument. This position is described today as 'exclusivist'. John Hick's name has become synonymous with a radically different approach to the whole issue. Hick argues that all religious traditions make contact with the same Ultimate Reality ('the Real'), each encountering it through a variety of culturally shaped forms of thought and experience, but all offering equally effective paths to 'salvation/liberation'. Hick's pluralistic hypothesis, although very popular in some quarters, appears to many Christian and non-Christian thinkers as highly controversial.

Abstract: The article aims to offer the perennial philosophy can be used as an alternative method of resolving a conflict of religion in Indonesia. For this purpose the perennial philosophy offers several approaches were: a.) Offering a dialogue method, perennial philosophy offers a method of inter-religious dialogue, the method of phenomenology (phenomenology of religion). This method is a way of understanding the appreciative attitude without the attitude of conquest and accused infidels other faiths. This method avoids the external attitude that considers religion of others is definitely wrong and only the one true religion. Then the ethics of dialogue is not intended to interfere in the affairs and other religious teachings, nor to make others fall into his faith, but to deepen their own faith traditioncritically. b.) the inevitability of their commitment to religious plurality. Perennial philosophy in the context of religious plurality believes that inview of this religious plurality perennial philosophy seeks to find common plat forms or common vision in tracing the chain of the historicity of religious growth, searching for the essence of the plurality exotericesoteric in each of the religions. Perennial philosophy in view of religious pluralism believe that every religionis derived from the same source, namely from the Absolute, the truth comes from the One. Abstrak: Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menawarkan filsafat perennial dapat dijadikan sebagai alternatif metode resolusi koflik agama di Indonesia. Untuk maksud tersebut filsafat perennial menawarkan beberapa pendekatan antara lain yaitu: a.)Menawarkan metode dialog, filsafat perennial menawarkan suatu metode dialog antar umat beragama, yaitu metode fenomenologi (fenomenologi agama). Metode ini merupakan cara memahami dengan sikap apresiatif tanpa sikap pe-naklukan dan pengkafiran penganut agama lain. Metode ini menghindari sikap eksternal yang menganggap agama orang lain pasti salah dan hanya agamanyalah yang benar. Maka secara etik dialog tidak dimaksudkan untuk mencampuri urusan dan ajaran agama lain, juga tidak untuk menjadikan orang lain masuk dalam keyakinan yang dianutnya melainkan untuk memperdalam tradisi agama sendiri-sendiri secara kritis.b.)Komitmen keniscayaan adanya pluralitas dalam agama. Filsafat perennial dalam konteks pluralitas agama meyakini bahwa dalam melihat pluralitas agama ini filsafat perennial berusaha mencari titik temu (Common Platfom atau Common Vision) dalam menelusuri matarantai historisitas tentang pertumbuhan agama, mencari esensi esoteris dari pluralitas eksoteris pada masing-masing pada agama yang ada. Filsafat perennial dalam melihat pluralism agama meyakini bahwa setiap agama berasal dari sumber yang sama yaitu dari Yang Mutlak, kebenaran berasal dari Yang Satu.

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.

AbstractIn his most recent work, John Rawls argues that political theory must recognize and accomodate the ‘fact of pluralism’, including the fact of religious diversity. He believes that the liberal commitment to individual rights provides the only feasible model for accomodating religious pluralism. In the paper, I discuss a second form of tolerance, based on group rights rather than individual rights. Drawing on historical examples, I argue that this is is also a feasible model for accomodating religious pluralism. While both models ensure tolerance between groups, only the former tolerates individual dissent within groups. To defend the individual rights model, therefore, liberals must appeal not only to the fact of social pluralism, but also to the value of individual autonomy. This may require abandoning Rawls’s belief that liberalism can and should be defended on purely ‘political’, rather than ‘comprehensive’ grounds.

Abstract Scholarly predictions of the secularization of the world have proven premature. We see a heterogeneous world in which religion remains a significant and vital social and political force. This paper reflects critically upon secularization theory in order to see how scholars can productively respond to the, at least partly, religious condition of the world at the beginning of the twenty first century. We note that conventional multiculturalism theory and policy neglects religion, and argue the need for a reconceptualization of understanding of religion and secularity, particularly in a context of multicultural citizenship — such as in Australia and Indonesia. We consider the possibilities for religious pluralism in citizenship and for “religious citizenship”. Finally, we propose that religious citizenship education might be a site for fostering a tolerant and enquiring attitude towards religious diversity.

ABSTRACTThis article presents an ethnographic case study of Chrislam, a series of religious movements that fuse Christian and Muslim beliefs and practices, in its socio-cultural and political-economic setting in Nigeria's former capital Lagos. In contrast to conventional approaches that study religious movements in Africa as syncretic forms of ‘African Christianity’ or ‘African Islam’, I suggest that ‘syncretism’ is a misleading term to describe Chrislam. In fact, Chrislam provides a rationale for scrutinizing the very concept of syncretism and offers an alternative analytical case for understanding its mode of religious pluralism. To account for the religious plurality in Chrislam, I employ assemblage theory because it proposes novel ways of looking at Chrislam's religious mix that are in line with the way in which its worshippers perceive their religiosity. The underlying idea in Chrislam's assemblage of Christianity and Islam is that to be a Christian or Muslim alone is not enough to guarantee success in this world and the hereafter; therefore, Chrislam worshippers participate in Christian as well as Muslim practices, appropriating the perceived powers of both.
