The Indonesian Communion of Churches (PGI) has made agrarian justice a focus for its members this year.
The agenda was set during the PGI’s 2017 working assembly meeting in Salatiga, Central Java, which was opened by Religious Affairs Minister Lukman Hakim Saifudin on Friday. Also present during the opening session was Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo.
“The theme ‘Frugal Spirituality: To reach agrarian justice for all!’ will become the main struggle of [Protestant] churches this year,” the PGI press release stated.
At the end of the Jan. 27-31 meeting, the PGI will also make recommendations related to issues faced by Indonesian churches such as religious tolerance and the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT).
The PGI is a communion of 89 Protestant churches.
