This ethnography examines the disaster relief work of the Mennonite Cen tral Committee (MCC) in Aceh, Indonesia, following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. MCC’s work is informed by the theologies and historical experiences of the North American Anabaptist-Mennonite tradition. An intentional focus of mcc’s work was a substantive interfaith encounter between MCC workers, all of whom identified as Christian, and Acehnese Muslims. Through an examination of interpersonal relationships, organizational partnerships, and materiality, I trace the ambiguities and transformative potential within these interactions. Encounters are not simply the unfurling of predetermined scripts, but rather dynamic spaces of negotiation. Focusing on encounters counteracts tendencies to reify and essentialize religious disaster relief.

Whether they are one-off, or part of cycles, disasters have exerted profound long-term cultural impacts on societies around the world. The verses quoted above, excerpted from a Malay poem written just after the cataclysmic eruption of Krakatau in 1883, comprise part of one cultural artifact produced in response to natural disaster. More specifically, these lines open a window onto the roles that religion, and debates about religious interpretation, can play in post-disaster contexts. In this particular case, the poet first describes an almost stereotypically “fatalist” response on the part of some believers in his Muslim community. Immediately thereafter, however, he turns to make a critical intervention—arguing that in his understanding of Islam, the situation demanded not a retreat into theodicy discourse, but rather a renewed sense of communal solidarity and social action.
