Indonesia opens tunnel connecting Muslim and Christian places of worship
ISTANBUL
Indonesia opened a historic tunnel on Thursday connecting Muslim and Christian places of worship.
President Prabowo Subianto inaugurated the Friendship Tunnel connecting Istiqlal Mosque and Our Lady of the Assumption Church in the capital Jakarta.
“This tunnel is not only a symbol of harmony between religious communities, but also reflects the spirit of unity and diversity that characterizes the Indonesian nation,” Prabowo said.
“Let us together maintain harmony, tolerance and brotherhood for an advanced, peaceful and prosperous Indonesia,” the 73-year-old leader said.
Construction of the tunnel began in December 2020 and was completed the following September.
However, the opening has been delayed until now due to work installing wall ornaments intended to “convey the deeper meaning of the tunnel”.
It spans 28.3 meters (93 feet) and measures three meters in height and 4.1 meters in width (9.8 feet by 13.5 feet) and is accessible via the grounds of the Istiqlal Mosque and the church, also known as Jakarta Cathedral.
The project was approved and implemented by then-President Joko Widodo, whose term ended last October.
Last September, visiting the tunnel with the mosque's grand imam Istiqlal Nasaruddin Umar, Pope Francis called it an “eloquent sign.”
These two places of worship allow “meeting, dialogue… a true experience of brotherhood,” declared the wheelchair-bound pontiff.
Urging the preservation of “bonds of friendship,” Francis said: “We can learn from each other’s religious traditions and come together to meet our human and spiritual needs.” »
