The 52nd<\/sup> Citizenship Education in Rantepao began with an opening service led by Rev. Dr. Sulaiman Manguling, of the Toraja Church Synod\u2019s Discipleship Department.

The 53rd<\/sup> Citizenship Education was conducted in the Toraja Church\u2019s Ministry Hall in Palopo. Participating in the program were around 70 people from the 16 church districts in Tanah Luwu region. Among them were pastors, church elders, legislative candidates, teachers, and businessmen. The program was opened by Rev. Yahya Boong, a member of the Toraja Church Synod\u2019s Executive Body in the Luwu region.<\/p>\n
As a followup to this Citizenship Education program, the Discipleship Department of the Toraja Church Synod will work on developing Citizens\u2019s Discussion groups using the guideline and discussion materials provided by the Institut Leimena. These resources are available free on the Leimena website.<\/p>\n

The following are some comments from the Citizenship Education\u2019s participants:<\/p>\n
This activity answers my struggle all this time, about how (in method and resources) to raise the awareness and participation of Christians as citizens. Especially the Toraja Church\u2019s young people as future leaders in church and country.<\/em> (Soni Budi Pandin \u2013 Toraja Church \u201cRama\u201d in Makassar)<\/p>\n
The program brings the awareness of the need for a political education for citizens, both sociologically and theologically. It clarifies the important things in a citizenship education to be included in a political education curriculum for citizens, in both competency and character development aspects. <\/em>(Rev. Dr. Sulaiman Manguling \u2013 Toraja Church Synod\u2019s Discipleship Department)<\/p>\n
The benefit of this Citizenship Education is extraordinary for me, because this is the first time I understand what politics means and how to live as a responsible citizen.<\/em> (Akis Nuru \u2013 Toraja Church \u201cImanuel\u201d in North Luwu)<\/p>\n
