ABSTRACT
The most common divisions within Christianity in present-day Indonesia run along confessional or denominational lines. The three major groups are the Roman Catholics, the mainstream or classical Protestant Churches (forming the PGI, Persekutuan Gereja Indonesia, the Indonesian Union of Churches), and the Injili or Evangelical and Pentecostal assemblies. Since Abdurrahman Wahid became the new president of Indonesia in October 1999, all the religious communities recognized by the Indonesian state are represented in the Indonesian Parliament (MPR, Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat) through twenty delegates. Fifteen delegates represent Islam, whereas there is one delegate for Hinduism, one for Buddhism, one for Catholicism, one for the PGI Churches, and one for the Injili.
