Religious plurality has existed in the midst of Indonesians since thousands of years ago. Unfortunately, this cultural asset is being slowly erased by the influence of foreign religious radicalization. The culture of tolerance and interfaith collaboration needs to be deepened and strengthened as a part of our nation\u2019s characteristics. Based on this spirit, Leimena Institute organized the Dialogue and Seminar \u201cBuiliding Interfaith Collaboration to Overcome Religious Radicalization\u201d, in collaboration with the Toraja Church Synod and Forum of Interfaith Harmony (FKUB) South Sulawesi (included in it: Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) in South Sulawesi, Regional Indonesian Council of Churches (PGIW), the Hindu Association of Indonesia (PDHI), Indonesian Bishops Conference (KWI), Representatives of Indonesian Buddhists (Walubi) and the Supreme Council for Confucian Religion in Indonesia (Matakin)). The event was held in the Training Center of State Islamic University Alauddin Makassar, on February 20th, 2016 from 9 am to 4.30 pm.<\/p>\n
