2015 International Summer School on Pluralism, Development and Social Change

The Kosmopolis Platform of the University of Humanistic Studies (the Netherlands), in cooperation with HIVOS (Humanist Institute for Cooperation with Developing Countries), the Center for the Study of Religion & Democracy (PUSAD – Pusat Studi Agama & Demokrasi), ParamadinaFoundation, and the Center for Religious and Cross-Cultural Studies of Gadjah Mada University (Indonesia), the Institute for Reconciliation and Social Justice of the University of the Free State (South Africa) and a to be confirmed university in India, welcomes applicants for the 2015 International Summer School on Pluralism, Development and Social Change.

Abstract:
The kind of conflict that has kept one HKBP Church community in Bekasi (Greater Jakarta) from having its own house of worship is almost unknown over the building of mosques in the Christian-majority city of Manado in northern Sulawesi. Why? This question about religion, politics, and society in contemporary Indonesia was triggered by the presenter’s research on houses of worship in four parts of Indonesia: Bekasi, Manado, Pontianak (West Kalimantan), and Bali. To answer this question, my Wednesday Forum presentation will discuss two questions: (a) what is the public perception of houses of worship in these two areas, including those of other religions? (b) How does social change (mainly caused by migration) affect interfaith relations and the recognition and protection of houses of worship in the local areas? I usequantitative and qualitative analysis to answer the research questions. I interviewed more than fifty local religious leaders in the aforementioned areas gathered more than 660 questionnaires in order to give a deeper and more satisfying explanation for conflict over houses of worship in Indonesia than has beendone before. My hope is that greater analysis of regional differences will lead to breakthroughs in peacebuilding in Indonesian society.

Abstract
During the Jacob’s early journey, when he had reached certain place, he stopped for the night to rest. He took one of stones to rest his head down to sleep. He had a dream which he had an encounter with God and received blessings from him. Next morning he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.” Then he poured oil on top of the stone that he had used as pillow. He called that place Bethel.
Do we need a physical place to express our belief or to have a relationship with God or gods? For a long history of humanity has been having a special ‘site’ to gather to worship and share their faith with one another or a secret personal place to adore a higher being. During the Forum, I will use a variety example of places globally visiting temples and sites in Indonesia, korea, Germany, and Tunisia, during the 9th century to compare each other cultures and belief. And temples and ‘site’s that they built will be analyzed to understand their differences and their communalities relation to their belief at that time. The research for their relationship between faith and their special ‘site’ can also leads to ask another questions like do we also need a physical place in the same manner as before? Is there any change in our concept in desire for the worship fashion? If there is any change, what or where is the new place can be substituted the old sites?
