This issue features ten original research articles authored by seventeen scholars from Indonesia. At the macro level, spiritual values serve as a critical ethical foundation for addressing ecological crises and navigating complex political dynamics within the state. At the micro and institutional levels, religious dynamics manifest in character education initiatives, local religious bureaucracies, mosque management practices, and the socio-economic behaviors of urban communities. Collectively, these studies illustrate that religious institutions and lived practices are dynamic, continuously adapting and actively shaping public identity in response to the multifaceted complexities of contemporary society.
