The Reformation movement began with the demand that Suharto be replaced as president.

 Inside Indonesia 58 - Not reformasi, transformasi!
With all due respect, I’m not surprised the reformation movement has run aground because (as I already said at our meeting on 16 May 1998 at the University of Indonesia) the reformation movement as a whole is wide of the mark.
Reformation (‘re’ means to repeat) is indeed what we have in the present Habibie government.
So long as University of Indonesia graduates insist on maintaining the 1945 Constitution, so long as they want only reformation and not transformation, there is no hope that our republic can be healed of all the perversions of the last 40 years.

Sophie, like Mrs Chrenkoff, was born in Indonesia, which prompted her to note that Indonesia, even though still one of the most moderate Muslim societies in the world, has over the past twenty or so years become noticeably less easy-going and more conservative a society (something she has written about here).
When we say that the present-day American, British and Australian societies owe much to their Protestant heritage, and therefore to the Reformation, we tend to forget that the Protestantism we are familiar with today has itself evolved as much as its host societies over the last five centuries.
The common denominator of the original Reformation push was the desire to take the faith from the hands of what was perceived to be a corrupt, rigid, ossified, worldly establishment and return it to the people - in a form purified, simplified and stripped of heretical or at least questionable overgrowths.

 Indonesia's Democratic Transition Defies Predictions, Leach Says
Only six years after emerging from authoritarian rule and financial crisis, Indonesia has defied the predictions of outside skeptics and is implementing a process of political reform and democratization, according to Representative James Leach, chairman of the House International Relations Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific.
"Indonesia has neither disintegrated nor become a failed state," Leach, a Republican from Iowa, said at a March 10 hearing.  "It has instead begun a `dramatic transition from the authoritarian and corrosively corrupt structures of the Suharto era toward those of a functioning, decentralized democracy."
Leach noted that the December 2004 earthquake and tsunami in the Indian Ocean region hit Indonesia particularly hard, devastating coastal areas of Aceh province in North Sumatra.  He said the U.S. Congress is firmly committed to assist in the long-term social and economic reconstruction of the region.
