REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, PARIS -- In the last 20 years, Asia has witnessed changes in religious and social life. People in countries on the continent, including Indonesia, increasingly believe that faith is important and necessary in life.

This was stated by the Secretary General (Secum) of the Head of the Muhammadiyah Center Prof. Abdul Mu'ti at the Communita Religions Dialogue in Sant'Egidio in Paris, France. The international forum has been held since Sunday (September 22, 2024) until today.

The PP Muhammadiyah section reminds that such conditions do not necessarily ignore the fact that disengagement with religion is still a phenomenon among society. This is a matter of concern to religious leaders and people.

“This kind of release can lead to a loss of religious relevance,” Abdul Mu'ti told the audience of the Comunita forum in Sant'Egidio, as quoted from a written statement received on Tuesday (24/9/2024).
