The International Conference on Religion and Public Civilization was held May 3 -5, 2018, by the Graduate Program of Theology. UKIM aims to analyze the reality of religions on public spheres in Indonesia/Maluku from different scientific perspectives by scholars whose interdisciplinary expertise is from Indonesia and abroad. It is driven by the reality that Indonesian society nowadays is forced by the politicization of religious symbols and the vulnerable position of religion in political games. The main concern of the conference is to present critical analyses about the theme that, in turn, it would be published for wider audiences, discussed by more groups of people and as a document for reconstructing inclusively religious education curriculum to empower capacity building of civil society for managing plurality and potential conflict in the multicultural society of Indonesia.
