RELIGIOUS MODERATION IN PUBLIC SERVICE POLICY: BRIDGING BUREAUCRATIC NEUTRALITY AND SOCIAL HARMONY IN INDONESIA

Abdul Hafith, Abdul Malik, Winengan
Abstract: Religious moderation serves as a fundamental principle in the context of public service in Indonesia, where religious, cultural, and ethnic diversity demands fair, inclusive, and civilized governance. This study aims to… analyze the role of religious moderation in public service policy in Indonesia, particularly in bridging the relationship between bureaucratic neutrality and social harmony within a multicultural society. To date, studies on religious moderation have largely focused on education and interfaith dialogue, while the dimensions of public policy and bureaucratic culture remain underexplored. Using a qualitative approach through policy analysis and literature review, this research examines how the values of religious moderation tawasuth (balance), tasamuh (tolerance), ‘adl (justice), and musawah (equality) can be integrated into an inclusive, fair, and ethical public service system. The findings indicate that the internalization of moderation values within public policy can strengthen governmental ethics, enhance public trust, and reinforce social cohesion amid diversity. This study also proposes a conceptual model called Moderation-Based Public Service Governance (MBPSG) as a new framework for public service management grounded in the values of religious moderation, balancing administrative efficiency with social justice.

The research uses a qualitative method, with data collected through observation, interviews, and… and documentation. The informants in this study consist of five individuals with different occupational backgrounds. The findings show that: (1) The local government’s strategy for developing tourism in North Galesong focuses on infrastructure development, digital promotion, and community empowerment through Pokdarwis (Tourism Awareness Group) training. Although there are still challenges such as limited facilities, insufficient promotion, and uneven mentoring, this strategy demonstrates the government’s commitment to achieving sustainable tourism. However, more systematic planning, technological support, and active community participation are needed to enhance tourism attractiveness. (2) The process of formulating the tourism development strategy begins with identifying obstacles such as limited funding and human resources, which are addressed through collaboration among the government, community, academics, and private sector. Strategic priorities are determined by considering economic factors, local culture, and environmental sustainability. Furthermore, the community is empowered through Pokdarwis and supported by village funds, culminating in the implementation of a pentahelix collaboration model to ensure that the strategy is well-directed, participatory, and sustainable.

Nurul Pratiwi, Eka Fitra Ramadani, Yudhi Andrew Pratama Lumoindon
Abstract: The study aims to analyze the role of the Office of Women’s  Empowerment and Child Protection (DP3A) in handling cases of child abuse in Gowa Regency. The research employs a qualitative approach, with data collected through… hrough observation, interviews, and documentation. The focus of this study is to examine how DP3A carries out its role in addressing child abuse in Gowa Regency and to identify the inhibiting factors it faces in handling such cases. The findings reveal that DP3A Gowa Regency plays a strategic role in addressing child abuse through preventive measures such as community outreach and education, case handling through the UPTD PPA with legal and psychological services, and child recovery programs including counseling, therapy, and social reintegration. Collaboration with schools, the police, the Social Affairs Office, NGOs, and the establishment of a Children’s Forum further strengthens the child protection system in the region. However, the study also identifies several inhibiting factors, including a shortage of professional human resources, limited operational funding, and low public awareness influenced by patriarchal culture and the normalization of violence. These obstacles result in limited services, delays in case handling, and a large number of unreported cases. In conclusion, DP3A Gowa Regency plays an essential role in creating a comprehensive child protection ecosystem, although it still requires greater support in terms of human resource capacity, funding, and shifts in societal paradigms to ensure optimal child protection

QUALIFICATIONS OF THE SPIRITUAL INTEGRITY OF JESUS’ LEADERSHIP IN THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW: IMPLICATIONS FOR CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP IN INDONESIA

Waruwu, Elianus, Sihotang, Korintus, Paimon, Edi, Jacky, Jacky
Abstract: Penelitian ini menyoroti krisis integritas kepemimpinan yang melanda Indonesia dan gereja, yang kerap dipengaruhi oleh adopsi model kepemimpinan sekuler yang pragmatis serta mengabaikan spiritualitas Alkitabiah. Walaupun… keteladanan Yesus menjadi acuan utama, kajian teologis khusus tentang integritas spiritual kepemimpinan-Nya dalam Injil Matius masih terbatas. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis integritas spiritual Yesus dalam Injil Matius serta menggali implikasinya bagi kepemimpinan Kristen di Indonesia, khususnya bagi guru Pendidikan Agama Kristen dan pemimpin gereja. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan studi literatur serta eksegesis historis-gramatikal dan teologis terhadap Injil Matius. Hasil penelitian mendefinisikan integritas secara holistik sebagai kesatuan identitas diri, keaslian hidup, keberanian moral, kedekatan dengan Allah, dan kompetensi praktis. Integritas ini berakar pada relasi dengan Allah dan menuntut keselarasan antara perkataan, tindakan, serta kehendak-Nya. Kepemimpinan Kristen dipahami bukan sekadar kapasitas manusiawi atau posisi, melainkan panggilan ilahi yang menuntut visi rohani, integritas, dan pelayanan kasih. Empat kualifikasi integritas kepemimpinan Yesus yang ditemukan adalah: (1) Kepemimpinan melalui kehidupan doa yang tekun sebagai dasar ketergantungan total pada Allah dan ketaatan kepada kehendak-Nya; (2) Kepemimpinan sesuai tuntunan Roh Kudus sebagai sumber wibawa dan kuasa yang bersumber dari pengurapan ilahi; (3) kepemimpinan berdasarkan kebenaran firman Tuhan sebagai otoritas tertinggi, sumber kebenaran, inspirasi, hikmat, dan pendoman kehidpan; dan (4) kepemimpinan berkarakter ilahi yang nyata melalui kasih agape, kerendahan hati, belas kasihan, kejujuran, ketulusan, serta penolakan terhadap kemunafikan. Kesimpulannya, integritas kerohanian merupakan pilar fundamental yang menyatukan kedalaman spiritualitas dengan kredibilitas praktis, sekaligus memberikan kerangka teologis yang kokoh untuk membangun kepemimpinan Kristen yang otentik dan transformatif di tengah krisis integritas.

Sofwatillah, Sofwatillah, Anwar, Kasful, MY, Mahmud, Asrulla
Abstract: Education is a fundamental pillar in shaping a superior and character-driven generation, with boarding schools providing a unique 24-hour integrated learning and living environment that acts in loco parentis. This study… examines the implementation of service quality in Islamic boarding schools in the Riau Islands Province and its influence on academic achievement, focusing on SMPIT Assakinah Tanjung Pinang, SMPS Al-Himmah Karimun, and SMP BP Tahfidz Attaubah Batam. Service quality in this context is defined as a student-centered paradigm that integrates academic, pastoral, and social dimensions. Drawing on perspectives from Crosby, Sallis, and Brewster, quality is measured by responsiveness to needs, continuous improvement, and the integration of academic rigor, pastoral care, and co-curricular enrichment. Academic achievement, as described by Bloom, is shaped by cognitive, affective, and environmental factors, where the structured environment of boarding schools can maximize outcomes. This research employed a qualitative case study approach with data gathered through observation, interviews, and documentation, analyzed using an interactive model. Findings reveal that service quality is implemented through four stages: (1) conceptualization with a vision integrating national and diniyah curricula; (2) implementation involving active learning, dormitory services, extracurricular programs, and Islamic character building; (3) improvement via SWOT-based evaluation, facility upgrades, teacher development, and digitalization; and (4) continuous evaluation for relevance and effectiveness. The study concludes that comprehensive, integrated service quality is a decisive factor for success in boarding schools. Effective service quality fosters both academic achievement and the development of religious, independent, and morally sound students. By applying Total Quality Management principles, Islamic boarding schools can establish an optimal educational ecosystem, producing a superior and globally competitive generation rooted in Islamic values.

LEGAL CERTAINTY OF FINANCING OF MERAH PUTIH VILLAGE COOPERATIVES: INSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS BETWEEN THE PRINCIPLE OF COOPERATIVE INDEPENDENCE AND STATE INTERVENTION

Hasanudin, Adnan, Winanti , Atik, Jilena Meliala, Aurora
Abstract: This study examines the legal certainty of financing for Indonesia's Desa Merah Putih Cooperative (KDMP) initiative, analyzing the institutional tension between cooperative independence and state intervention. Rooted in… the constitutional mandate for cooperatives as a cornerstone of the Indonesian economy, the KDMP program aims to establish 80,000 village-level cooperatives through state-facilitated credit lines and technical assistance. However, this top-down model raises concerns about undermining cooperative autonomy enshrined in Law No. 25/1992 and the principle of subsidiarity. Employing a normative juridical research design, this study draws on secondary data from legal literature and primary legal materials to systematically examine relevant norms and doctrines. Findings reveal a tenuous alignment between state financing mechanisms and cooperative autonomy, primarily due to the proposed reliance on state-owned bank credit lines rather than direct state budget grants, leading to legal ambiguity regarding accountability and oversight. The potential for mass loan defaults and the contentious use of Village Funds as collateral further complicate legal certainty and risk hidden liabilities. Comparative insights from India's Amul cooperative and the Philippines' barangay cooperatives illustrate successful models where government acts as a facilitator without impinging on cooperative self-governance or member control. This study advocates for a recalibrated regulatory approach featuring transparent oversight, proportional supervision, and participatory decision-making to reconcile developmental imperatives with cooperative principles, ultimately enhancing legal certainty and ensuring that state-supported cooperatives remain genuinely member-driven enterprises.
