Civil society become a social concept that is able to help Indonesian people for living in harmony in the midst of diversity. Civil society in Indonesia upholds the synergy of democratic freedom and the use of law as a means of control and monitoring in social aspects. Later, the term civil Islam emerged, in which the Islamic leaders in Indonesia seek to incorporate Islamic values and practices into the democratic process. The implementation process has been going on for several decades. However, there are certain symptoms that indicate the degradation of public civilized values. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the process of implementing civil society and civil Islam in Indonesia, viewed from the perspective of religion sociology, which focuses on inter-religious tolerance. The study used a structured literature study and phenomenological approach. The finding shows that the process of implementing civil society has not been carried out optimally, because there is a gap between the views of implementing civil society from the majority and minorities. The gap should be a priority to be bridged to avoid religious intolerance. More understanding and application of Pancasila principles need to be strived earnestly, for the sake of inter-religious tolerance.

The Church has received the mission of Christ to carry out the works of Christ in the world. She continues the task of proclamation (kerygma), and celebrates the mystery of His presence (leitourgia) through the Word and the Liturgy, fellowship (koinonia) and service (diakonia) to others with the guidance of the Holy Spirit as a witness (martyria) to the world. From these elements, it is diakonia that can connect more closely to the act of Jesus who "went around doing good" (Acts 10:38). In this service, the Church gives more attention to the "weak" and "poor" people (trans. Kecil, Lemah, Miskin, Tersingkir, Difabel, abbr. KLMTD) to develop their life better. There are two forms of diakonia, namely diakonia of charity (victim care; providing aids to the people in needs) and diakonia of empowerment (victim cause; helping people through empowerment). Thus, a movement such as Credit Union (CU) is one form of diakonia. This thesis was conducted to know how effective the Credit Union "Abdi Rahayu" realize diakonia of Marganingsih Parish, Kalasan, Yogyakarta.

The result of this research shows that the Credit Union "Abdi Rahayu" is able to realize some elements of Diakonia of Marganingsih Parish, Kalasan. This research also points act of solidarity among members as a tangible manifestation of love of neighbor.
