Summary

Interreligious spiritual encounters are organized around national holidays, shared tragedies, coalitions for social change, and community events. These programs often adapt Protestant models of worship, with a series of prayers, songs, and scriptural readings. Other forms of ritual practice can be shared as well, inviting people to observe or participate. Both approaches rely on spiritual affect to deepen our capacity for connecting across difference. Learning together can stimulate a similar bond. Chapter 11 explores models of interreligious engagement that use study and spiritual encounter as the foundation for developing relationship and understanding.
