Living in a Broken World: Prophetic Anger and Public Compassion

Wednesday Forum – 16 March 2022

We are living through dangerous times. Many of us are unaware of the times we live in except for a few days when global mainstream media decide to feature it before another feel-good news takes over. We face critical problems, globally and locally, across the board. While a sense of urgency should govern our behaviour, most of us are quite relaxed and go in a ‘business-usual’ manner: even as our global eco-footprint gets larger and larger every year, as we break eco-planetary limits, as we lose species after species every day, and as over 500 of our below 15 young olds face death every hour. The list is long. All these ‘going-ons’ do not show that compassion governs much of our private and public life. At present, we face the danger of global temperature, increasing the danger the future will have on all life on Earth. I believe the only way to turn this around in the long term lies not in ‘technology-infatuation’ and ‘GNP-seduced economic performance’. It lies in our local and global sense of urgency guided by prophetic anger and public compassion.

Nadarajah Manickam (Nat) is a sociologist who has worked over the last 42 odd years in many capacities and positions in multi-faceted and inter-connected projects and initiatives.

April tahun ini cukup spesial. Di saat umat muslim April tahun ini cukup spesial. Di saat umat muslim menjalankan puasa Ramadan, sebagian umat kristiani juga tengah menjalani puasa prapaskah. Karenanya, pada #fkd2022 kali ini, kita akan berbagi pengalaman dengan teman-teman penghayat tentang makna dan praktik puasa atau berpantang diri ala Paguyuban Noormanto dan Paguyuban Budaya Bangsa. 

Malam Jumat, malamnya masyarakat adat dan penghayat. 

Rahayu
Dunia memang sedang tidak baik-baik saja. Kita tah Dunia memang sedang tidak baik-baik saja. Kita tahu itu dari rentetan peristiwa menyayat yang kadang nyempil di feed media sosial, dari berbagai stiker biru kuning yang sekarang berseliweran. Banyak ketidakadilan terjadi di sekitar, dan jujur atau tidak, kita sering menutup mata. Entah karena capek melihat itu terjadi setiap hari atau merasa tak berdaya meski di hati kita memendam amarah. Namun, bagi Nadarajah Manickam, kemarahan itu adalah energi yang memaksa kita untuk melakukan perubahan. Sebuah kemarahan kenabian, seperti marahnya Musa yang menghendaki perubahan lebih baik pada kaumnya. Sebuah kemarahan yang penuh kasih sayang untuk dunia yang sedang tidak baik-baik saja.

Where does interfaith dialogue come from? For Dian Where does interfaith dialogue come from? For Diane Butler, interfaith dialogue is an organic process. It cannot be forced and each person has a different path to get there. Her experience as a dance performer working in Indonesia shows that place, time, and condition greatly influence how a relationship interacts and grows.

Let's find our dialogue path together on #wednesdayforum
