In a situation like Indonesian is in now the church is also challenged to care for its parishes. That is why in many places the church is holding programs to develop solidarity. Sadly I hear news that there are clashes among races, ethnic groups and religions, although it occurred only on a small scale. In spite of that, anti-violence movements have sprung up in some cities. The old parties are considered not to satisfy the needs of the people, and have failed to bring prosperity into the life of the society.
Most people are in doubt.
There are many parishes which are joining the new political movements. All we can do is to make an effort to participate in it. I ask for your prayers for a better Indonesia. My best regards.
