Antara Masyarakat dan Penegak Hukum
By michael on October 30, 2006
Pasca gerakan reformasi, banyak pihak berharap supremasi hukum dapat ditegakkan dengan alat-alat hukumnya yang berfungsi sebagaimana mestinya, tidak lagi basa-basi semasa orde baru. Sayangnya, institusi-institusi penegak hukum di negara ini sampai sekarang masih belum memiliki reputasi yang sungguh-sungguh berwibawa, dihormati, dan disegani. Padahal reputasi semacam itu adalah salah satu prasyarat untuk mereka dapat menjalankan tugasnya dengan baik. Kehadiran polisi di jalan raya masih sering dilecehkan, otoritas jaksa kerap diacuhkan, dan vonis hakim tidak jarang diragukan.

Prayer for Interfaith Meetings
God of all creation,
we stand in awe before You,
impelled by visions of the harmony of humanity.
We are children of many traditions –
inheritors of shared wisdom and tragic misunderstandings,
of proud hopes and humble successes.
Now it is time for us to meet –
in memory and truth,
in courage and trust,
in love and promise.
In that which we share,
let us see the common prayer of humanity;
in that which we differ, let us wonder at human freedom;
in our unity and our differences,
let us know the uniqueness that is God.
May our courage match our convictions,
and our integrity match our hopes.
May our faith in You bring us closer to each other.
May our meeting with past and present
bring blessing for the future.
Amen.
