PERAN KOMUNITAS TLASIH 87 SUMBERGIRANG MOJOKERTO DALAM MEMBANGUN HARMONI AGAMA
ABSTRACT: The article
scrutinizes the role of the actor of Tlasih 87 community in coping with social
problems and his efforts to create harmony and peace among interreligious
adherents in Sumbergirang village of Mojokerto East Java. The writer puts
emphasis on the discussion about the methods employed by the actor to achieve
his goals. In addition, the form of teaching proposed by the actor to
Sumbergirang society will be another focus of the discussion. The writer finds
that humanist approach has become the main tool used by the actor of Tlasih 87
in dealing with social problems. Such approach has brought about success to
help the marginalized people in Sumbergirang. Regarding the teaching
promulgated by the actor of Tlasih 87, the writer argues that this is a sort of
cultural and religious syncretism between Javanese and Balinese culture as well
as religious teachings of Islam and Hinduism along with kejawen. Although this
teaching has encountered challenges during its dissemination, the number of the
followers of Tlasih 87 have significantly increased. Tlasih 87 has widely
spread out of Sumbergirang in a number of regions in East Java such as Gresik
and Surabaya. The main spirit held by the actor of Tlasih 87 is building
harmony and creating peace towards the unity of interreligious adherents as
well as preserving culture inherited from the past generations.
