It includes hundreds of languages, cultures and religions, including the world's largest Muslim population (more than the whole Middle East put together). Indonesia has a long and relatively successful history of dealing with diversity. This has given rise to many institutional mechanisms for dealing with diversity that are strikingly different from Western institutions. This rich Indonesian experience is an important global resource in learning to deal with diversity.1 online resource (384 pages)eng2014 Globethics.net ; Indonesian Consortium for Religious StudiesAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5 Generic deed (CC BY-NC-ND 2.5)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/Religious pluralismReligion--Study and teachingIndonesiaIndonesian Consortium for Religious Studies (ICRS)Religious pluralismCultural/intercultural ethicsReligious ethicsSocial ethicsSexual orientation/genderComparative religion and interreligious dialogueChristian-MuslimTeaching of theology, ecumenism, religionsBook
