“Through this orientation, we are reinforcing two key principles: religious moderation to foster harmonious relationships among fellow human beings, and eco-theology to maintain harmony with nature. ”Religious moderation is not just for a single institution or group, but rather a perspective on fostering harmony amid diversity,’ emphasized Dr. H. Amrullah.”.
Through this activity, participants in Phase II, Cohort IX of the PPPK program are expected to understand and apply the orientation material in their daily work.
