Abstract

Indonesian Christians international students are experiencing new religio-cultural experiences during their study in Australia. Some of those experiences are contradictory with their Christian beliefs. This study seeks to understand the way Indonesian Christian international students in Australia negotiating their cultural and religious identity. In this qualitative study, I interviewed four Indonesian Christian international students in Australia including myself. The findings describe participants’ tensions between their Christian beliefs and new religio-cultural experiences during participants’ study in Australia, such as questions about sexuality, feminism, and various knowledges met in their university studies. Participants constructed their new ways of being a Christian by demonstrating different markers of evangelical Christianity, liberal Christianity, and spiritual seekers (Mathews, 2000).
