Menyoal Fakta Pusara Korban, Membangun Budaya Damai Di Halmahera
Abstract
Abstract: Among the interesting phenomena in Halmahera’s post conflict era are the permanently built tombs of victims in the courtyards of houses of worship (churches and mosques). An important question which arises from this phenomenon is: why were the tombs of victims built in the courtyards of the houses of worship? What is the meaning of this reality for promoting reconciliation and peace in Halmahera? According to the writer, an analysis on the way the Halmaherans comprehend this practice is important. By understanding the way the Halmahera people view and live out the meaning of the tombs of the victims, we can understand and anticipate any further impact of this practice. Through this article, the writer offers a sociological and theological study so that a road to promote peace building in Halmahera can be paved.
