Abstract:
The emergence of radicalism and extremism has greatly disturbed harmony in Indonesia. Lampung consists of various ethnic groups and different religions, and local cultural wisdom must be present in the midst of community divisions. With the approach of local cultural wisdom, this province should be a force against radicalism and extremism and become a paradigm of religious moderation. Religion should go hand in hand with culture, so it can create cultural religious wisdom and a culture based on religion. This research explores the role of local wisdom as a means of communication in building religion, Lampung Province. The local wisdom serves as a medium to bridge interfaith communication, create harmony, and strengthen social cohesion in a diverse society. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques of field observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The results show that this local wisdom not only plays an important role in preserving community Inaculture and identity, but also contributes significantly to promoting religious tolerance and moderation. Using local wisdom, the people of Pesisir Barat are able to overcome potential conflicts and differences that arise, and build constructive dialogue that promotes the values of brotherhood and respect between religious communities. This study suggests the need to preserve and revitalize local wisdom as an effective communication strategy in supporting the development of religious moderation in Indonesia.
