'There are mountains beyond the mountains' Chinese saying Mount
Kailash in Asia, the Black Hills in North America, Uluru in
Australia: around the globe there are numerous mountains that have
been and continue to be attributed sacredness. Worship of these
mountains involves prayer, meditation and pilgrimage. Christianity,
which for a long time showed little interest in nature, provides a
foil to these practices and was one factor in the tensions that
arose in the age of colonialism. Decolonisation and the 'ecological
turn' changed the religious power of interpretation and gave
discourses about sacred mountains new meaning. Globally, however,
they remain an outstanding example of cultural diversity, also
touching on issues of gender justice and environmental protection.
A translation from the original German.
