Paguyuban Sumarah and Interrituality: An Enquiry to The Practice of Interreligious Ritual Participation in Sujud Sumarah
Abstract
Paguyuban Sumarah is one well-known aliran kepercayaan in
Indonesia existed since the 1930s. The group practised Sujud
Sumarah as the most essential ritual attended by the whole member of
organizations from multiple religious backgrounds and identities,
gathering them in a venue of interreligious ritual participation. This
paper will discuss the aspect of interrituality in Sujud Sumarah,
considering it is practised by multi-religious believers through the
discourse-analysis method following the framework of interrituality
offered by Moyaert, an interreligious scholar from Vrije Universiteit
Amsterdam. This research concludes that it is acceptable to define the
implementation of Sujud Sumarah as an interreligious ritual
participation, yet it could not explicitly be categorized as ‘inner-facing’
or ‘outer-facing’ interrituality as it was classified by Moyaert. This
paper also demonstrated, in general, the fundamental system of belief
of Sumarah was derived from syncretism and transcendent unity of
religions, leading the discussion to be possibly elaborated further in
the study of interreligious relations.
