350 Children from Various Religions Join Barikan Anak Nusantara in Malang City

350 Children from Various Religions Join Barikan Anak Nusantara in Malang City

A total of 350 children from early childhood education to junior high school took part in the 5th Barikan Anak Nusantara held by the Interfaith Communication Forum (FKAUB) at Alun-Alun Merdeka, Malang City, Sunday (8/16). This event was to welcome the 81st anniversary of Indonesian independence while instilling a spirit of diversity. FKAUB Secretary General David Tobing said that children were directly involved, including in joint prayers involving six religions. This aims to foster a sense of nationalism amid current media challenges. Malang Mayor Wahyu Hidayat considered this activity important for instilling national values and tolerance from an early age. In addition, Barikan is also an effort to preserve the cultural traditions of the people of Malang City. The series of activities ended with the Children of the Archipelago Pledge, where participants committed to practicing the values of Pancasila, loving the homeland, and maintaining brotherhood in diversity. https://kabarbaik.co/barikan-hari-kemerdekaan-350-anak-serukan-persatuan-dan-toleransi-anak-nusantara-di-kota-malang/

The mayor says this preserves cultural traditions, but don't let local traditions lose their Islamic spirit. Hopefully the committee is wise in sorting out what's culture and what's worship.

The Ikrar Anak Nusantara is good, but children also need to understand that true brotherhood doesn't erase differences in aqidah. Tolerance doesn't mean making everything equal.

Why is the focus on the kids? It's actually the adults who need to learn tolerance from them. Hopefully this event also touches the hearts of the parents who attended.

This little parade of the nation's children reminds me of my childhood when I joined a similar procession. But back then it was simpler, no interfaith prayers. I hope the kids stay safe in their faith.

Kids from PAUD have already been invited to join interfaith prayer together, hope it doesn't confuse their beliefs. Parents need to be there and give them the right understanding.
