Book excerpt: We are grateful that the book in your hands now is eventually published after a prolonged process. It came through as a manifestation of longing and hope to share theological reflections of Indonesian Church with a wider community, especially with English-speaking readers. I am sure that the special and dynamic life context of Indonesian Church is the fertile soil for the seedling growth of rich theological reflections. If my memory serves me right, this is the first English book published by the Bishops’ Conference of Indonesia. With the publishing of this book, we have confidence that Indonesian theologians will be encouraged to share the fruits of their experiences and thoughts with others across countries. Hopefully, this book will become impetus for more books to come. The availability of English books written by Indonesian theologians will allow Indonesian contextual theological sights to be recognized by and to give contribution to the world of theology in general. I would like to extend my gratitude to all contributors of this book. The theme of multiculturalism is chosen because it is the distinctiveness of Indonesia as well as the pluralistic reality of the world. I hope you gain many insights from the theological reflections that you read.
