Highlights
The reality of the plurality of religions, ethnicities, cultures and social conflicts in the 16th century is part of previous events, which we do not discuss here
As an institution that bear the authority to organize Christian Education, GMIH has a vision of Christian Education which is directed at the question: what generation does the church long for as a result of the learning process of Christian-pluralist-multicultural Christian Education; or theologically, ethically, socio-Christian, what quality of life is predicted by the church in a good and systematic way through Christian Education
From the perspective of the internal context of the church, this vision was born in the reality of the social conflict in North Maluku which resulted in the intactness of the GMIH in terms of the physical administration, as well as the organism, being scattered
Summary
The reality of the plurality of religions, ethnicities, cultures and social conflicts in the 16th century is part of previous events, which we do not discuss here. Because the Christian-Islamic encounter and social conflicts that occurred in the 16th century were closely related to ethnic plurality and social conflicts that occurred long before that. We need to remember that before the 16th century, which we recorded as the beginning of the Christian-Muslim encounter, there was an encounter between Islam and tribal religions in the 13th century. From the perspective of managing social conflict because of the differences in diversity, we must pay close attention to all of these. Because we do not talk about conflict from a historical perspective, this research will emphasize at the urgency of the need for Christian education by utilizing the pluralist-multicultural perspective. The historical records shown earlier only attempt to draw the threads of the conflict that occurred in 1999-2003 with its historical roots
