Journal History

INTEGRITAS TERBUKA: Peace and Interfaith Studies (INT) is a scientific journal developed by RSCJ Indonesia in 2022. RSCJ Indonesia is part of RSCJ (Religieuses Sacre Coeur de Jesu), an international congregation of Catholic women that was started in 1800 in France by St. Madeleine Sophie Barat. In her life, Sophie wanted to heal the wounds in her country after the French revolution, by helping others to find God's love. Sophie did this through the world of Education and Spirituality. RSCJ is called to have a contemplative and humble spirit in carrying out their mission of Education of the Youth in our world. 

In the same spirit, RSCJ Indonesia developed an approach to Interfaith Dialogue known as Open Integrity (Integritas Terbuka). This approach was tested academically in 2012. In 2016, we began to promote Open Integrity as an approach and attitude of interfaith relations in today's pluralistic world. The Open Integrity Program is an individual and community development program based on character building and peace building through strengthening the “Peace and Interfaith Studies” in Religious Studies Approach, that has been developed during 2016-2024. This program is interfaith in nature. It establishes openness to differences in beliefs, race, ethnicity, opinion, group, culture, and religion. It is designed to equip participants with the skills, knowledge and create the values in an atmosphere where everyone can feel safe and bring about a positive change in a pluralistic world.
