This book examines interreligious dialogue from a European
perspective. It features detailed case studies analysed from
different disciplinary perspectives. These studies consider such
activities as face-to-face discussion groups, public meetings,
civic consultations with members of faith groups, and community
action projects that bring together people from different faiths.
Overall, the work reports on five years of qualitative empirical
research gathered from different urban sites across four European
cities (Hamburg, London, Stockholm, Oslo). It includes a
comparative element which connects distinctive German,
Scandinavian, and English experiences of the shared challenge of
religious plurality. The contributors look at the issue through
social, material, and ideological dimensions. They explore the
following questions: Is interreligious dialogue the producer or
product of social capital? What and how are different meanings
produced and contested in places of interreligious activity? What
is the function of religious thinking in different forms of
interreligious activity? Their answers present a detailed analysis
of the variety of practices on the ground. A firm empirical
foundation supports their conclusions. Readers will learn about the
changing nature of urban life through increasing pluralisation and
the importance of interreligious relations in the current
socio-political context. They will also gain a better understanding
of the conditions, processes, function, and impact of
interreligious engagement in community relations, public policy,
urban planning, and practical theology.
