Abstract

This paper observes youth expressions of religiosity through inter-religious dialogue in Indonesia. It focuses on how Indonesian youth examine their interpretations of their own religions and their efforts at building interfaith and peace networks through various programs. It then explores these initiatives using the theory of the seven moments of dialogue proposed by the Indonesian theologian J.B. Banawiratma. By examining these initiatives, the paper offers some grounded observations on the positive contributions that Indonesian youth has made amidst the changing religious proclivities of their peers toward a more conservative turn.
