Abstract

This study departs from the writer's observation that the Theological Colleges in Indonesia have one of the compulsory course in the Christian Education Program, namely Christian Religion Major in Compound Communities.  This course has a very central place in studying and seeing various problems that occur in this nation.  Based on these symptoms, the writer discusses the role of Christian religion course in plural society.  The author sees that the presence of Christian Religion Course in the midst of a plural society becomes very important so that believers can live and apply their faith in different areas.  The writer wants to convey that the followers of Christ should not be closed to differences, but believers must have the courage to demonstrate God's love in the midst of the world as a manifestation of God's presence itself since the condition of the Indonesian people is currently being shaken with various issues that can destroy the integrity of the Indonesian Nation.  One of the issues that often occur today is terrorism, religious intolerance, hoaxes and politics.
