Abstract

One of the characteristics of religion education is endeavoring to establish and develop individual piety and social piety. Individual piety is personal, while social piety always pays attention and cares about the social conditions. In social life, school is one of institutions which represents the social environment and become the agent of social education in shaping the behavior of learners who always have open and tolerant attitudes in building a spirit of brotherhood. The responsibility of education in learning activities can develop the ability to dialogue and seek common ground which shall become the foundation and provision for learners to engage in dialogue with the surrounding reality, especially the reality of diversity. In the context of Indonesia, the models of religion education "beyond the wall" can be an alternative in response to conservative forces (in the wall and at the wall) which only teach the religion-doctrinal inclusive manners. The education and study of religion with beyond the wall model not only show the attitudes of acceptance or dialogue with people of different religions, but also emphasize on the religious attitudes of tolerance and cooperation in building peace, justice, harmony, and active involvement in humanitarian activities.
