The Catholic Church

The activities of John Wheatley's Catholic Socialist Society have been analysed in terms of liberating Catholics from clerical dictation in political matters. Yet, beyond the much-discussed clerical backlash against Wheatley, there has been little scholarly attention paid to a more constructive response offered by progressive elements within the Catholic Church. The discussion that follows explores the development of the Catholic social movement from 1906, when the Catholic Socialist Society was formed, up until 1918 when the Catholic Social Guild, an organisation founded by the English Jesuit Charles Plater, had firmly established its local presence in the west of Scotland. This organisation played an important role in the realignment of Catholic politics in this period, and its main activity was the dissemination of the Church's social message among the working-class laity. The Scottish Catholic Church, meanwhile, thanks in large part to Archbishop John Aloysius Maguire of Glasgow, became more amenable to social reform and democracy.

Abstract. The Islamic education, Islamic boarding schools and madrasas, have made a very significant contribution to the implementation of education and social reform. Through the teaching process, in which the kyai as the main figure and the use of the ‘yellow book’, traditional Islamic ideas colored the early days of growing awareness as a nation and a State. When the New Order government carried out the development and modernization of society, there was a revival of a Muslim group called the “new middle class santri”, which took place in line with the modernization that occurred in the traditional Islamic educational institutions of the pesantren. Then in the era of democratization, the world of Islamic education experienced growth and development in various religious institutions and styles. Most of the pesantren are still committed to maintaining a moderate religious style, recognized as the foundation for the development of civil society and the formation of a ‘distinctive’, friendly, moderate, and tolerant social-political identity of Indonesian society. The Muslim character is different from other regions, especially the Middle East which is the axis of the Islamic world. However, a small proportion of pesantren are thought to promote the growth of religious chauvinism, teach a ‘narrow’ interpretation of Islam and provide a framework of thought and action in responding to socio-political change which often takes the form of a ‘jihad’. This article tries to explore the contribution of Islamic education to social change in the Indonesian Muslim community. Abstark. Dunia pendidikan Islam, pesantren dan madrasah, memberikan kontribusi sangat berarti dalam penyelenggaraan pendidikan dan reformasi kemasyarakatan. Melalui proses pengajaran, di mana kyai sebagai figur utama dan penggunaan ‘kitab kuning’, gagasan Islam tradisional mewarnai masa-masa awal tumbuhnya kesadaran sebagai bangsa dan Negara. Ketika pemerintah Orde Baru melakukan pembangunan dan modernisasi masyarakat, terjadi kebangkitan kelompok Muslim yang di sebut “kelas menengah santri baru”, berlangsung sejalan dengan modernisasi yang terjadi dalam lembaga pendidikan Islam tradisional pesantren. Kemudian pada era demokratisasi, dunia pendidikan Islam mengalami pertumbuhan dan perkembangan dalam beragam kelembagaan dan corak keagamaan. Sebagian besar pesantren masih tetap istiqomah dalam mempertahankan corak keagamaan yang moderat, diakui sebagai pondasi berkembangnya masyarakat sipil dan pembentukan identitas sosial-politik masyarakat Indonesia yang ‘khas’, ramah, moderat, dan toleran. Karakter Muslim yang berbeda dengan kawasan lainnya, khususnya Timur-Tengah yang merupakan poros dunia Islam. Namun ada sebagian kecil pesantren dianggap mendorong tumbuhnya chauvinisme keagamaan, mengajarkan penafsiran Islam yang ‘sempit’ dan memberikan kerangka pemikiran dan aksi dalam merespons perubahan sosial-politik yang seringkali berbentuk panggilan ‘jihad’. Artikel ini mencoba mengeksplorasi kontribusi pendidikan Islam dalam perubahan sosial masyarakat Muslim Indonesia.

Dr. Indira Goswami (Mamoni Raisom Goswami) is one of the leading writers of the India today. She has won the Jnanpith Award for the year 2000, which is the highest literary award of India today. She belongs to the family of Sattra adhikars (Head of Vaisnava monastery) of South Kamrup in Assam. Her father, Late Uma Kanta Goswami, was an economist, who worked as the Director of Public Instruction of the Government of Assam. Indira did her schooling in Guwahati and Shillong. She has written eighteen novels, and several hundreds of short stories. Her novels and short stories have been translated into many Indian and Foreign languages. She tries to write from her direct experiences of her life. She only moulds her experiences with her imagination. Her language is like a velvet dress by which she endeavors to cover the restless soul in its journey through existence. But however hard, she might try, the fabric of this dress seldom takes on the texture of velvet or fine Muslim, and it comes out rather tattered. Sometimes they feel that it is a futile effort to arrest the soul with language and capture it in cold print. It is better, perhaps to feel it only in numb science. But, then, those very experiences impel a person to unload them from the psyche by creative effort which gives a sort of relief. And, the tattered fabric has a beauty which puts to shame the finest of velvets.

يعدّ عبد الحميد بن باديس أحد العلماء الجزائريين البارزين بالإصلاح الاجتماعي، حيث كان حافزًا له للقيام بتفسير عصريّ لآيات قرآنية مختارة، ملائمة لكل فئات، وطبقات المجتمع الجزائري يومئذ. ولقد فرض الواقع الجزائري المرّ إبّان فترة الاحتلال الفرنسي على ابن باديس سلوكَ سياسة تغيير الخطاب الإسلامي الإصلاحي من حين لآخر قاصدا بذلك مواجهة الاحتلال الفرنسي الغاشم الذي كان يسعى إلى طمس ثوابت الأمّة الجزائرية، وخرق تاريخها، وهُويّتها، وثقافتها، ووحدتها الدينيّة، واللّغوية من خلال عدّة جبهات ومجالات. يهدف هذا البحث إلى استنباط وجوه خطاب الإمام ابن باديس الإصلاحي في التفسير، فيبدأ أوّلاً بالحديث عن مفهوم الخطاب وأهميّته في الإصلاح؛ ثم يتناول بالدراسة والتحليل خطاب ابن باديس الإصلاحي على وجوه رئيسة ستة وهي: الخطاب العقدي، والخطاب الفقهي، والخطاب التهذيبي، والخطاب التذكيري، والخطاب التاريخي، والخطاب الاجتماعي؛ مستعينا بالمنهج الوصفي والتحليلي والاستقرائي.   الكلمات المفتاحية: عبد الحميد بن باديس، وجوه الخطاب الإصلاحي، الإصلاح الاجتماعي، الخطاب الإسلامي، الثوابت.***********************Abdelhamid bin Badis is a prominent Algerian scholar known for his social reformation. He contributed to social reformation by taking up modern interpretation of selected verses of the Qur’an in a way suitable for all types of groups and sections of Algerian society at that time. The bitter Algerian reality during the period of French occupation led Ibn Badis to carry policy of changing Islamic reformist discourse from time to time with intention of confronting brutal French occupation which was attempting to obliterate foundations of Algerian nation; and tearing its history, identity, culture, and religious and linguistic unity, through several fronts and areas. This research aims to excogitate faces of the reformist message of Imam Ibn Badis in his exegesis discusses the concept of the message and its importance in the reform under six main aspects: doctrinal discourse, jurisprudential discourse, ethical discourse, reminder discourse, historical discourse, and social discourse. The research methods applied in the study include descriptive, analytical, and inductive. Key words: Abdelhamid bin Badis, The Faces of the Reformist Discourse, Social Reform, Te Islamic Discourse, Foundations.
