Subject — tolerance; diversity; society; religion; ethnicity.
Description The main problem in this research is the number of cases of intolerance in Indonesia. The Indonesian motto, Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, means ‘Unity in Diversity’, and the implementation of social life processes amidst differences in ethnic groups, cultures, races, and religions occurs because of the attitude and behaviour of intolerance. Therefore, this research aims to describe and analyse tolerance in the diversity of interfaith and ethnic relationships alongside their affiliated values. A phenomenology paradigm and grounded theory approach were adopted using the Tomohon Community as the subject. The data-collection techniques include observation, interviews, documentation and literature research. The result shows the demonstration of proper tolerance among the populace, and the affiliated values encompass the cultural significance of Si Tou Timou Tumou Tou, Mapalus and Torang Samua Basudara (We All Are Family). This report recommends further research on the role of government in fostering and maintaining tolerance in the community.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The research’s main contribution is to offer Si Tou Timou Tumou Tou, Mapalus and Torang Samua Basudara values to the interfaith and ethnic relationship. This finding could be a formula for local context and future agenda that could demonstrate tolerance and harmony.
