PELINTAS BATAS YANG DIALOGIS

Abstract

Indonesia as a country is devided into some provinces, regencies and
municipalities. It consists of islands with a pluralistic society due to ethnic groups,
religions and races living together in it. In such a pluralistic society, if it is well
managed then it will give positive impact for a change toward a more prosperous,
peaceful and safer Indonesia. But if it is not well managed then it will cause a lot of
problems that give negative impact for Indonesia, such as a very susceptible relation of
inter-religions with conflict. In this sort of society we must build up a bridge for
dialogue. The church, therefore, invites all her members to involve in dialogue and
cooperation with the member of other religions. For this purpose, we are expected to be
figures of dialogic borderer crossing for better future of Indonesia. For the church,
dialogue is promoted because it is a new way of missionizing the border crossing in the
pluralistic society for creating a harmonious, tolerant and peaceful situation in which all
people, especially people of Indonesia will live together as brothers and sisters. That is
why, all members of the church are invited to partake in any type of dialogue in
accordance with roles and jobs played by people while they are trying their best to
anticipate and prevent every potential problem so every problem we have and every
difficulty we face we can solve it easily-peacefully without any violence.
