  BERITA ANDA  
an open letter from a friend

Oleh: fr/theo

Dear friends,

Most of you are now in Advent time awaiting Christmas . In our country Indonesia
minorities are facing difficulties .

We are now helping churches and pastors whose Sunday services are forced to be
closed down .Thousand of students of Christian theological school have to leave
their boarding school because they were forced to do so by the radical Muslims .

A recent study shows that most Islamic studies teachers in public and private
schools oppose pluralism . The study shows 62.4 percent of the surveyed Islamic
teachers, including those from Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah - the country"s two
largest Muslim organizations - reject the notion of having non-Muslim leaders .

The study also reveals 68.6 percent of the respondents are opposed to non-Muslim
becoming their school principle and 33.8 percent are opposed to
having non-Muslim teachers at their school .

Some 73.1 percent of the teachers don't want followers of other religions to build
their houses of worship in their neighborhoods, it found .

For more information about the findings of the survey, which was conducted by
the Center for Islamic and Society Studies at Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic
University in Jakarta, please kindly read the attachments .

I also put a good news in the attachment about my friend Ms. Dr.Musdah Mulia, a
prominent pluralism campaigner, who has been named the winner of the 2008 Yap Thiam
Hien human rights awarded for her courage and obstinacy in pushing for civil
liberties and dialogic, inclusive Islam in Indonesia .

All reports were brought by the English news paper The Jakarta Post
www.thejakartapost.com

I wish you all good Advent time

Theophilus Bela
Secretary General of Indonesian Committee of
Religions for Peace
President of Jakarta Christian Communication Forum (FKKJ)
Ambassador for Peace
