Interfaith Against Intolerance in Indonesia

Posted on News by Global Ministries · July 08, 2020 11:59 AM · 1 reaction

In Makassar, the largest city in eastern Indonesia (about 1.5 million population), the history of religious relations has its ups and downs. In 2019, Setara Institute, a nationally renowned research institute, declared Makassar as one of the 10 most intolerant cities in Indonesia. This is supported by a number of aggressive actions of Islamic intolerant groups in this city. Islamic internal intolerance towards Shi'ites and Ahmadis is common. Also, intolerance towards other religious communities with cases of rejection of the construction or renovation of Christian worship buildings. There have been the closings of restaurants that sell pork as well as eliminating books at bookstores that are considered to teach communism or Marxism.

The impact of COVID-19 lockdowns from partners in Southern Asia

Posted on News by Deenabandhu Manchala · May 05, 2020 2:17 PM

The Southern Asia region, comprising of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, East Timor, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam, is one of the most populous regions in the world. Although many of these countries have reported fewer deaths and confirmed cases, as per some analysts, it is hard to be definite about these claims in view of the limited testing and monitoring capacities. With the indefinite nature of the lockdowns, and with most services and industries shut, and with hardly any economic activity, millions of people who live on daily wages are now exposed to hunger and homelessness. Churches in this region, although small and many, are actively engaged in community awareness and in reaching out to the most marginalized sections with daily supplies.
