This article examines the Indonesia Bethel Church (GBI, Gereja Bethel Indonesia) in Langsa, Aceh, Indonesia. Based on the concept of a religious agency, the article explores how the Langsa GBI community treats religious beliefs in the midst of interest after the sealing of private places of worship that are considered to be churches by the town government of Langsa. Qualitative data was collected through participatory observations, semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions to members of the GBI community in Langsa conducted arround the course of 2015-2021. The author also interviewed Christians outside of the GBI members as well as Muslims in the research area to explore their constructions towards the topics discussed. This paper finds fragmentation of the religious agency of the GBI in Langsa in an effort to practice and treat believed religious doctrines when faced with interests or critical situations. The status of a minority within the minority and the way they represent the situation influence the articulation of religious agency.

The following article analyzes the post-conflict Aceh identity negotiation based on the case study of Aceh’s Crescent and Star Flag also known as the Aceh’s Flag. The paper focuses on tracing the process of collective Aceh identity negotiations as reflected in Aceh’s Crescent and Star Flag discourse, and to the extent of the effectiveness of the establishment of the Aceh flag as a strategy for reformulating the collective identity after the conflict. The following article uses a socio-anthropological approach. The research locations are four regions in Aceh, Banda Aceh, East Aceh, Langsa, and Central Aceh. Semi-structured interviews were conducted against the political elite in Aceh from the pro- and anti-Flag of the Crescent and Star, as well as the central government in Jakarta. Documentation studies were carried out by scrutinizing mass media reports on topics that became research issues. The paper concludes that the diversity of responses of the Aceh community in response to the establishment of the Crescent and Star as the flag of Aceh is a reflection of the social and political and cultural diversity that Aceh society is seeking to form a post-conflict collective identity.

This article aims to analyze the efforts to dominate thirdspace in urban millennial cafes in Bireuen City, Aceh, by state sharia. Thirdspace is a concrete space as the actuality of contestation in secondspace by each group. Because secondspace determines the domination of thirdspace, state sharia through authoritative institutions, namely Satuan Polisi Pamong Praja (Civil Service Police Unit) & Wilayatul Hisbah (Satpol PP&WH) is trying to take preventive action. This qualitative research uses an anthropological approach. Researchers collected data from observation, in-depth interviews, and literature studies related to research subjects. The theory used in this research is Thirdspace by Edward Soja about the process of forming thirdspace as a public place. The focus of this research is Bireuen City, as a strategic city from the point of view of rapid social change, advanced economy, strategic geographical location, and rapid development of public places for millennials. The research findings show that state sharia through Satpol PP&WH conducts Islamic religious education, especially theology and Islamic ethical philosophy education for millennials by visiting many high schools, as an effort to dominate thirdspace through secondspace, especially urban millennial cafes in Bireuen City.
