Religious Moderation
This book aims to explain the questions of what, why, and how in relation to religious moderation. What is religious moderation? Why does it matter? And how to implement it? There are three main parts to answering the aforementioned three questions, namely: Conceptual Study of Religious Moderation; Empirical Experience of Religious Moderation; and the Strategy for Strengthening and Implementing Religious Moderation. The first part contains conceptual explanations related to religious moderation, starting from its definition, basic values and principles, sources of references in various religious traditions, and indicators. In this section, the discussion of fair, balanced, accommodative, inclusive and tolerant principles will be an important part as an indicator of moderation. The second part discusses the background and sociocultural context of the importance of religious moderation, as well as examples of its implementation in the empirical experience of Indonesian society. Moderation is used as a perspective in all religious life practices. Lastly, the third part maps the steps required be taken in strengthening and implementing religious moderation. This strengthening aims to structurally advocate religious moderation as a national program; thus it becomes a perspective for either individuals or institutions. Strengthening religious moderation is carried out through three main strategies: firstly, disseminating the idea, knowledge, and comprehension of religious moderation to all levels of society; secondly, institutionalizing religious moderation into binding programs and policies; and thirdly, integrating the formulation of religious moderation into the National Medium-Term Development Plan (Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Nasional - RPJMN) year 2020-2024. This structural strategy complements and strengthens other steps that have been taken so far, which increasingly require strenghtening by facilitating the meetings between groups of people to build up the values of inclusiveness and tolerance, for instance, in the form of interfaith dialogue. The book is expected to be referenced by as many people as possible who desire a harmonious and peaceful life in diversity. This book of Religious Moderation must belong to everyone; not only to those of a certain religion. Hopefully.
