Meretas Jalan Damai di Perbatasan Panti Rao Pasaman Sumatera Barat

Abstract

The Pao Rao Pasaman area is a multi-ethnic area that is not only inhabited by Minangkabau ethnic as an indigenous ethnic group, but some ethnic migrants such as Mandailing, Malay and Toba Batak. In addition to ethnic diversity, in Rao there is also a diversity of religious beliefs embraced by ethnic groups that inhabit this border area. Islam is a religious identity for Minangkabau and Mandailing in Rao. While the Toba and Javanese Batak ethnic groups adhered to Catholicism and Protestant Christianity. The problem that arises in this Panti is that understanding understanding diversity still contains sentiments and considers them the most correct, cultural and religious dialogue spaces between plural community communities are still lacking and have not yet formed a peaceful community in the Panti community based on places of worship and social institutions. The results of the empowerment of the multicultural and religious communities showed that there was an understanding of the workshop participants living harmoniously between religious communities and not the community did not consider it the most correct, and the formation of inter-community cultural and religious dialogue at the Pasaman Home.  Keywords: hacking, peaceful way, border   Daerah Panti Rao Pasaman merupakan daerah multi etnik yang tidak hanya dihuni oleh etnik Minangkabau sebagai etnik asli, tetapi beberapa etnik pendatang seperti Mandailing, Melayu dan Batak Toba. Di samping keragaman etnik, di Rao juga terdapat keragaman keyakinan agama yang dianut oleh etnik-etnik yang mendiami daerah perbatasan ini. Islam merupakan identitas keagamaan bagi etnik Minangkabau dan Mandailing di Rao. Sedangkan kelompok etnik Batak Toba dan Jawa menganut agama Katolik dan Kristen Protestan. Permasalahan yang muncul di Panti ini adalah pemahaman keagaman masih mengandung sentimen dan menganggap mereka paling benar, ruang dialog budaya dan agama antar Komunitas masyarakat plural  masih Minim dan belum terbentuk komunitas damai  dalam  masyarakat Panti  yang berbasis rumah ibadah dan lembaga social. Hasil pemberdayaan komunitas multicultural dan agama menunjukan bahwa adanya pemahaman peserta workshop hidup rukun antar umat beragama dan tidak komunitas tidak menganggap paling benar, dan terbentuknya ruang dialog budaya serta agama antar Komunitas di Panti Pasaman.
