Radicalism, intolerance, and social conflict often occur, especially concerning religious pluralism. Educational institutions, which are expected to build the nation's character, are also prone to religion's education labeling. Hence, Christian religious education had two choices: strengthen dogmatic teaching or embrace inclusive values. This research focuses on the importance of inclusive values as the foundation for Christian Religious Education. Through descriptive analysis of various literature, this study discusses the theological basis for inclusive values in the context of the Church and its implications for Christian religious education. The research results show that the value of inclusion is based on the reflection of the incarnation and the example of encountering dialogue, which forms the foundation for inclusive Christian Religious Education.

This dialectical process is reflected in the country's national philosophy, Pancasila, which provides a time-tested religious framework for uniting Indonesia's diversity and bringing harmony to its society and government. 2 The fundamental values of Pancasila, such as religiosity, humanity, unity, democracy, and justice, have become the narrative of national unification and remain relevant in the post-truth era because they provide a robust framework for understanding the nation's dialogue and dialectics that can withstand criticism from other 1 Yusuf Siswantara, “Kesadaran Digital Sebagai Pengembangan Karakter Kebangsaan Di Abad 21,” Linggau Journal Science Education 1, no. 1 (2021). 2 I Ketut Ardhana et al., Pura-Pura Bhineka Tunggal Ika Di Bali Konsep, Wacana, Dan Prospek Masa Depan, ed.
