Abstract

—Tolerance is a basic element needed to develop an attitude of mutual understanding and respect for existing differences as well as being an entry point for the realization of an atmosphere of dialogue and religious harmony. This study wants to see the possible relationship between DAI (Dialog Antar Iman / Interfaith Dialogue) services that exists between religious communities within the GBKP Villa Galaxi church, Kelurahan Jakasetia, Kecamatan Bekasi Selatan, which has been running for a period of 10 years until now as a church service program. The research method of this journal is library research with a descriptive qualitative approach to evaluate the services that have been running by collecting and exploring literature related to the concept of inter-religious tolerance and interfaith dialogue in the perspective of the Christian faith, as well as studying reports on the development of the GBKP congregation for the last 5 years. The result is DAI's services to non-Christian communities within the GBKP Bekasi church strongly encourage togetherness and mutual respect. The seeds of tolerance planted in the values of togetherness grow and live into brotherhood regardless of ethnic or religious background, which in turn will build religious tolerance and distrust of the term Christianization.
