This article is a contextual reflection on the religious dimensions of reconciliation and anti-coup resistance. In doing so, the article addresses some fresh methodological issues and nuanced approaches to religions and public life. It begins by suggesting a paradigm shift in reimagining a public theology of religions and reconciliation that calls for engaging not only with academics, but also with lived practitioners. It critically examines the paradoxical role of religions. It first examines why and how religions play role in the politics of nationalism and tribalism and then suggests how interreligious ethics should be utilized as alternative sources for reconciliation. It shows how the coup creates a kairos for a transformative vision of interreligious solidarity and interethnic reconciliation. It then examines the ongoing stories of interreligious activist everyday resistance to the coup as adharma. Given that resisting the coup in public life is dangerous, the article also argues that public theology is not just about the reflection on public witness, but also about the hidden witness of faiths. It concludes by suggesting how religions shape the moral vision of ethnic reconciliation, federal democracy, mutual embrace of identity and otherness.

2021 年政变后缅甸公共宗教神学与和解

本文是对和解与反政变抵抗的宗教层面的情境反思。在此过程中，本文讨论了一些新的方法论问题以及宗教和公共生活的微妙方法。它首先建议重新构想宗教与和解的公共神学的范式转变，不仅要求学者参与，而且要求实践者参与。它批判性地审视了宗教的矛盾作用。它首先探讨了宗教为何以及如何在民族主义和部落主义政治中发挥作用，然后建议如何利用宗教间伦理作为和解的替代来源。它显示了政变如何创造凯罗斯实现宗教间团结和种族​​间和解的变革性愿景。然后，它研究了宗教间积极分子日常抵抗政变的持续故事：不法。鉴于在公共生活中抵制政变是危险的，文章还认为，公共神学不仅仅是对公共见证的反思，而且还涉及信仰的隐藏见证。最后，它提出了宗教如何塑造种族和解、联邦民主、相互拥抱身份和差异性的道德愿景。
