Houses of Religions: Visions, Formats and Experiences - Religious Studies in Interfaith Contexts / Religionswissenschaft in Interreligioesen Kontexten

Houses of Religions are a new phenomenon in urban settings and promise to create a space with religious meaning for everyone in the city; or at least, to be much more than an ecumenical chapel, a church, a synagogue, a temple or a mosque. Projects of Houses and Centers around the globe have contributed to this volume: Bern, Hannover, Berlin, Vienna, Stockholm, Munich, London, New York, Jerusalem, Taipei and Abu Dhabi. Theoretical attempts to understand Houses of Religions and their creation of meaning within multicultural societies set the final accord.
