Abstract

The religious harmony in Indonesia has been carried out well by the community. Yet, it can be interrupted by the emergence of cases in the construction of the house of worship at any time. Even currently, people still find this case in several regions in Indonesia concerning the rejection that leads to building destruction due to a non-building permit (IMB). Fortunately, the rejection did not happen to all other religions that were different from the religion of the majority community. The type of qualitative research was aims to explore best practice cases in building houses of worship based on local wisdom through observation, interview, and document study methods. The results showed that a house of worship amid Muslim and Hindu communities was well received. Therefore, its development ran peacefully, without any criticism from the community because it gets a positive response, especially by the Muslim community as the majority, even initiated by the local community. Hence, the starting process to complete the construction of the Indonesian Christian Church of Bongo IV congregation was conducted well. The church’s construction ran without obstacles because the community implemented the values of local wisdom and the agreements that they built together as a bond in living a harmonious life. The principles of mutual cooperation, mutual respect, mutual support, good communication between the community become the social foundation that has been built collectively as support in actualizing best practices in religious relations, including in the construction of the GKI Bongo IV Congregation.
