MEETING POINT FORUM
Just like it's name says, Forum Titik Temu is a meeting forum that brings together religious leaders, cultural practitioners, academics, and politicians to discuss humanity and Pancasila.
Human Brotherhood, Peaceful Living and Coexistence
Indonesia is diverse in race, religion, tradition and culture. Unfortunately this diversity isn't always followed with harmonization, but also with disunity. Many communities are easily enraged when they are provoked in the name of religion. As pre-election politics heats up, tensions continue to rise.
In response to this situation, Nurcholish Madjid Society, Maarif Institute, the Wahid Foundation, Jaringan Gusdurian, and Yayasan Indonesia Sejahtera Barokah held Forum Titik Temu. As it’s name says, this forum is a meeting point for nationalist figures, interfaith leaders, academics and policy makers with the goals of exchanging ideas so that the diversity in Indonesia can be maintained.
This forum was held on April 10, 2019, calls for the importance of every Indonesian citizen to be able to synergize in building Indonesia and to revitalize the Indonesian core values of mutual cooperation and tolerance. It is hoped that it will broaden the horizons and hearts of religious people to keep the nation united so that it will not be easily divided by political interests.
