Indonesia
will host a conference of Asian Muslim and Christian leaders from Feb. 26 to
March 1, a report said on Wednesday.
Under the
theme “Bringing a Common Word to Common Action for Justice,” the religious
conference will be jointly held by the International Conference of Islamic
Scholars (ICIS), the Indonesian Bishops Conference (KWI) and the Indonesian
Church Association (PGI), at the Acacia Hotel in Central Jakarta.
The
conference is also supported by the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conference and
the Christian Conference of Asia.
“This forum
is hoped to be able to strengthen the personal relations between Muslim and
Christian leaders so that they can be open to each other and be able to conduct
joint actions to overcome problems of justice and socioeconomic conflicts,”
ICIS secretary general Hasyim Muzadi was quoted as saying by Antara news
agency.
Hasyim said
the conference would also be used to address the cases of intolerance that have
afflicted Indonesia in recent times.
“There are
cases of intolerance, but these are not thoughts of intolerance and we will
explain this,” Hasyim said.
He said the
trigger behind cases of intolerance in Indonesia were most often not religious
fanaticism but instead other socioeconomic and political factors.
PGI
secretary general Reverend Gomar Gultom was also quoted by Antara as saying
that in many cases, religion was used to hide other interests, including local
political considerations.
He said he
hoped the conference could explore the role of religion in battling corruption,
human trafficking and environmental problems.
“It is
hoped that a declaration such as that of the Asia-Africa conference, but from
religious leaders on how … new hope for civility in Asia can be produced,” said
Benny Susetyo, the secretary general of KWI.
The
conference will involve some 150 participants from 20 countries and will be
opened by Religious Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali.
Among the
speakers are leading religious thinkers such as India’s Asghar Ali Engineer,
Archbishop Ferdinand Capalla from the Philippines, Archbishop Felix Machado
from Hong Kong, Muhammadiyah leader Din Syamsuddin, and Indonesian academics
Komaruddin Hidayat and Azyumardi Azra.
Former Vice
President Jusuf Kalla is also scheduled to address the conference.
“The
delegations will also visit groups active in handling migrant workers’ issues
as well as those dealing with the environment, legal affairs and the Corruption
Eradication Commission [KPK],” said Nashihin Hasan, the head of the organizing
committee.

“ … Spirituality (Religions)
Number one: Spirituality. The systems of spiritual design on your planet are starting to change. This is not telling you that certain ones are going to go away. They're simply going to change. Some of the largest spiritual systems, which you would call organized religion on the planet, are shifting. They're going to shift away from that which is authority on the outside to authority on the inside. It will eventually be a different way of worship, slowly changing the rules while keeping the basic doctrine the same.
The doctrine of the Christ has always been to find the God inside. The teachings were clear. The examples of the miracles were given as an example of what humans could do, not to set a man up for worship as a God. So when that has been absorbed, the teaching of the Christ can remain the teaching of the Christ. It simply changes the interpretation.
The teachings of the great prophets of the Middle East (all related to each other) are about unity and love. So once the holy words are redefined with new wisdom, the Human changes, not the words of the prophets. In fact, the prophets become even more divinely inspired and their wisdom becomes even more profound.
You're going to lose a pope soon. I have no clock. Soon to us can mean anything to you. The one who replaces him may surprise you, for his particular organization will be in survival mode at that point in time. That is to say that fewer and fewer are interested in starting the priesthood. Fewer and fewer young people are interested in the organization, and the new pope must make changes to keep his church alive. That means that his organization will remain, but with a more modern look at what truly is before all of you in a new energy. It is not the fall of the church. It is instead the recalibration of the divinity inside that would match the worship that goes on. It's a win-win situation. The new pope will have a difficult time, since the old guard will still be there. There could even be an assassination attempt, such is the way the old energy dies hard. That is number one. Watch for it. It's a change in the way spiritual systems work. It's a realignment of spiritual systems that resound to a stronger truth that is Human driven, rather than prophet driven.…”
