Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the role of religious elites in fostering the younger generation to increase the harmony of life among religious believers. By this research social conflict can be minimized, and knowing what factors cause the potential for harmony and the potential for non-harmony or social conflict in the life of a pluralistic society in North Sulawesi. The method used is a qualitative descriptive method. Moreover, data collection techniques are interview techniques, literature studies, and documentation. The results of the study show that the role of the religious elite in fostering the younger generation to increase inter-religious harmony is quite useful. This is evidenced by changes in the attitudes and mentality of the young generation so far there have been no fights between youths of different religions and tribes. To prevent potential conflicts between religious communities and especially the younger generation, religious leaders and leaders through the BKSAUA communication forum are always anticipatory and play an active role in carrying out dialogue and collaboration to discuss social issues, especially those that lead to racial problems. The harmony can be maintained so that the community can live together, side by side with one another, respect and respect, uphold the values of kinship with the spirit of "Torang Samua Basudara".
