GKJW Mojowarno and GusDurian-IPNU-IPPNU Share Takjil and Break the Fast Together
Jombang, JayaNews.com — The spirit of interfaith harmony has once again been rekindled in Mojowarno District, Jombang Regency. The East Javanese Christian Church (GKJW) of Mojowarno, through the Youth and Student Development Commission (KPPM), the Women’s Role Development Commission (KPPW), and the men of GKJW Mojowarno, along with GusDurian Jombang, the Nahdlatul Ulama Student Association (IPNU), and the Nahdlatul Ulama Female Student Association (IPPNU) of Mojowarno, held an event to share takjil and break the fast together on Saturday (March 14, 2026).
The event was attended by more than 100 people.
The event consisted of two sessions: the distribution of takjil, which took place on the street in front of the GKJW Mojowarno Church and was distributed free of charge to the public.
Meanwhile, the iftar continued at the GKJW Mojowarno Congregation Activity Center, which served as a friendly interfaith meeting space.
The Head of the GKJW Mojowarno Community Service Committee (KPPM), Novi Kartika Sari, explained that this event aimed to strengthen the relationship between Christians and Muslims who were observing the Ramadan fast.
“We are holding this event as a form of camaraderie between our Muslim brothers and sisters who are fasting. We want to be present and share in this auspicious moment,” said Novi.
Echoing this sentiment, the Head of the IPPNU Mojowarno Community Service Committee (PAC), Firnanda Gita Aulia, emphasized that this iftar event served as a means to strengthen the relationship between IPPNU and the GKJW Mojowarno Community Service Committee (KPPM).
“Differences in belief are not a barrier to cooperation and mutual respect. In fact, this is where the beauty of our diversity lies,” said Firnanda.
The Chairperson of the Mojowarno IPNU PAC, A. Al Khalkul Yakin, added that this activity is an annual collaboration between IPNU, IPPNU, and the KPPM GKJW Mojowarno.
“This is not just about distributing takjil (snacks). This is a concrete form of cooperation and tolerance between religious communities. We hope this activity can increase the community’s enthusiasm for fostering a sense of tolerance,” said Al Khalkul Yakin.
This activity received a very positive response from local residents. Those who received the takjil expressed their gratitude for the sincerity and hospitality of the interfaith committee. The atmosphere of togetherness created is clear evidence that diversity, if properly nurtured, can become a unifying force.
Activities like this serve as concrete examples of the implementation of the values of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity) — that religious differences do not hinder the growth of brotherhood, mutual cooperation, and mutual respect within the community.**
