Summary:The churches in Indonesia have been struggling to address the problems of poverty, injustice, radicalism, and ecological destruction. They believe that these matters are interlinked with and rooted in human greed, which threatens the unity of the nation. It is a problem of spirituality. The churches are committed to promoting spiritualitas keugaharian, or the “spirituality of moderation.” Only the love of Christ can move and change the hearts of people: from self-centredness to care for others; from the tendency to accumulate power and wealth to restraint and sharing of resources; from hatred to reconciliation; from disintegration to unity for justice and peace for all creation.
