THE ROLE OF FKUB IN "SAPA PELAJAR" ACTIVITIES TO IMPROVE RELIGIOUS MODERATION IN PEKALONGAN

Abstract

Indonesia is a country that has high diversity. Many differences ranging from ethnicity, race, religion, and so forth. That diversity can backfire if it is not accompanied by moderation. Religious moderation is a form of moderation towards the diversity of religions in Indonesia. Therefore, it is necessary to instill an attitude of moderation from an early age in students in the hope that students will have a moderate attitude so that divisions due to differences can be minimized. This study aims to explain the role of the Forum for Religious Harmony (FKUB) in increasing the attitude of religious moderation in the city of Pekalongan. This study uses a qualitative approach. The research subjects were the head of the FKUB in Pekalongan, members of the FKUB, and religious leaders in Pekalongan. Data collection used interviews and was taken from journals, books and articles related to the Forum for Religious Harmony (FKUB) in increasing the attitude of religious moderation in Pekalongan. Based on the literature research method that has been carried out by researchers, this study found that the Forum for Religious Harmony (FKUB) played a role in increasing the attitude of religious moderation among students in Pekalongan. This can be seen from the various activities or work programs carried out by FKUB such as the Sapa Pelajar activity at several schools in Pekalongan.
