Abstract

This study discusses the importance of religious policy in creating harmony between religious communities in the context of plural society in Indonesia. As a country rich in cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity, Indonesia faces significant challenges in maintaining social harmony. Although the 1945 Constitution guarantees freedom of religion, the implementation of policies often does not provide fair treatment, especially for minority groups. Through a qualitative approach that relies on literature reviews, statistical data, and interviews with stakeholders, this study highlights the importance of the role of Pancasila as the foundation of the state in building harmony. Pancasila contains universal values that encourage respect for differences and the need to create inclusive and fair policies. This study also identifies challenges in the implementation of religious policies, including the emergence of discrimination and resistance from certain groups. It is emphasized that interfaith dialogue and education on harmony are very important in fostering a tolerant attitude. In order to achieve this goal, collaboration between the government, religious institutions, and civil society needs to be strengthened. Overall, the results of the study show that through fair policies and active community participation, a harmonious environment can be created, where every individual is valued and recognized regardless of religious background

Now, digital existence is moving faster and faster among the activities of billions of people. With it, each individual is integrated. On the other hand, digital concepts continue to transform and capture everyone's attention. Various literacies also discuss the good sides, challenges and opportunities of digital for humans and their generations. Added to this is the innovation of copying machines whose functions are not far from humans. It's called Artificial Intelligence (AI), a human-made intelligent machine designed to make human work easier. Finally, several opinions say that this machine will be a big threat if not managed properly. In this article the author will explain the existence of digital AI from a Christian perspective. Because like it or not, the church must accept and apply AI technology and media in its ministry to repair a broken world. However, modern technology will deny God's birth when it is in the wrong hands with the wrong motivation. David in his composition in (Psalm 40:4), reminds us that God is the creator of all good things for the glory of His name, not to destroy His creation. In another sense, digital was designed not for humanity's fall into sin, but instead for the work of salvation through the redemption He provided. In order to avoid misunderstandings about the existence of digitalization, the author will clarify the concept of digital in church music by providing a general overview of developing theories.

The doctrine of the Trinity is one of the theological issues that is full of controversy until today, starting from the era of the church fathers to the contemporary era. It must be recognized that is impossible for the Trinity to be discussed and understood completely by limited human thought. This study aims to revitalize the doctrine of the Trinity in the midst of the rampant debate on social media, especially on the Youtube platform, which certainly creates an uncomfortable atmosphere. There are certain groups that vigorously reject the doctrine of the Trinity but claim to be Christians and their churches are legally recognized. The author will review the early history of the doctrine of the Trinity and examine its theological foundation to confront groups that oppose the doctrine of the Trinity. Althought the Bible literally does not write the term Trinity, the church and tradition contain it. A misunderstanding of God’s existences will also indirectly relate to and have an impact on other doctrines. The rejection pf the doctrine of the Trinity harms Christianity.
