Interfaith Marriage
Interfaith marriage, sometimes called interreligious marriage or mixed marriage, is marriage between spouses professing and being legally part of different religions. Although interfaith marriages are often established as civil marriages, in some instances they may be established as a religious marriage. This depends on religious doctrine of each of the two parties' religions; some prohibit interfaith marriage, and among others there are varying degrees of permissibility. Several major religions are silent on the issue, and still others allow it with requirements for ceremony and custom. For ethno-religious groups, resistance to interfaith marriage may be a form of self-segregation in order to preserve the cultural identity and religious beliefs among members of the same group, while interfaith marriage at times has been at times seen as a form of resisting boundaries established by religious and social norms. In an interfaith marriage, each partner typically adheres to the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Interfaith Dialogue
Interfaith dialogue, also known as interreligious dialogue, refers to cooperative, constructive, and positive interaction between people of different religion, religious traditions (i.e. "faiths") and/or spirituality, spiritual or humanism, humanistic beliefs, at both the individual and institutional levels. Throughout the world there are local, regional, national and international interfaith initiatives; many are formally or informally linked and constitute larger networks or federations. These include organisations such as the United Religions Initiative, the Parliament of the World's Religions, and interfaith training institutions like OneSpirit Interfaith Foundation in the United Kingdom, which since 1996 has prepared interfaith ministers for community service, spiritual accompaniment, and inclusive ceremony. The often quoted statement "There will be no peace among the nations without peace among the religions. There will be no peace among the religions without dialogue am ...

Interreligious Studies
Interreligious studies, sometimes called interfaith studies, is an interdisciplinary academic field that researches and teaches about interfaith dialogue and encounters between religions. The field emerged in the 1980s and 1990s as a result of the collective efforts of theologians and interfaith practitioners, including scholars, during a period of interfaith activism, especially in North America. History of the field The academic field emerged from pioneering scholarship on religious diversity. In 1991, Professor Diana L. Eck started engaging students in research, which later became the ''Pluralism Project'' at Harvard University. Robert Wuthnow and Robert D. Putnam were among the scholars who investigated religious diversity and interactions. In 2013, there were several academic initiatives, including the founding of the Interfaith and Interreligious Studies Group at the American Academy of Religion and an Office of Religion and Global Affairs at the United States Department o ...

Interfaith Worship Spaces
Interfaith worship spaces are buildings that are home to congregations representing two (or more) religions. Buildings shared by churches of two Christian denominations are common, but there are only a few known places where, for example, a Jewish congregation and a Christian congregation share their home. Such buildings are of interest as concrete ventures in the ''interfaith understanding'' which many religious groups now espouse. Unitarian Universalist churches hold interfaith services. There are several cases in North America where a small congregation of one faith is a tenant in a building owned and chiefly occupied by a congregation of another faith. Buildings that were planned and erected as joint projects include: * Church for the Fellowship of All Peoples, perhaps the first interfaith space, was founded in 1944 by a former Baptist minister. A Muslim imam may lead a service and sermons may involve Hinduism or Judaism. *Omaha, Nebraska, The Tri-Faith Commons is the on ...

Interfaith Officiants
Interfaith Officiants are trained in world religions and inter-spirituality and can help people in identifying their own spiritual beliefs through a process of spiritual self-discovery. They can also officiate at events such as weddings. Overview Interfaith Officiants come from many different faith backgrounds and have different philosophies and personal theologies, yet are well-versed in a multitude of religious traditions. They share a commitment to serving individuals, couples and families in a very personal and respectful way, building ceremonies around the wishes, preferences, beliefs and practices of the clients they serve. In addition to celebrant-focused roles, many Interfaith Officiants receive ordination and formal spiritual formation through training programmes rooted in interfaith ministry. These ministers are often called to serve in weddings, funerals, baby blessings, end-of-life support, and spiritual accompaniment, drawing from diverse religious and philosophical ...

Multiple Religious Belonging
Multiple religious belonging, also known as double belonging, refers to the idea that individuals can belong to more than one religious tradition. While this is often seen as a common reality in regions such as Asia with its many non-exclusionary religions (such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism), religious scholars have begun to discuss multiple religion belonging with respect to religious traditions such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Those who practice double belonging claim to be an adherent of two different religions at the same time or incorporate the practices of another religion into their own faith life. It is increasing with globalisation. One such example is a person attending a Christian church but also finding meaning in yoga and in forms of meditation inspired by Eastern traditions, and enjoying attending a Jewish Seder at Passover. The phenomenon of double belonging can occur within the same religion, where people hold membership in more than on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Religious Syncretism
Religious syncretism is the blending of religious belief systems into a new system, or the incorporation of other beliefs into an existing religious tradition. This can occur for many reasons, where religious traditions exist in proximity to each other, or when a culture is conquered and the conquerors bring their religious beliefs with them, but do not succeed in eradicating older beliefs and practices. Many religions have syncretic elements, but adherents often frown upon the application of the label, especially those who belong to "revealed" religions, such as Abrahamic religions, or any system with an exclusivist approach, seeing syncretism as corrupting the original religion. Non-exclusivist systems of belief on the other hand feel more free to incorporate other traditions into their own. Ancient history Classical Athens was exclusive in matters of religion. Some sources assert that the Decree of Diopeithes made the introduction of and belief in foreign gods a crimin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Interfaith Greetings In Indonesia
Interfaith greetings (), sometimes referred as Bhinneka greetings (), are often used to open formal meetings in Indonesia. The phrases combine the greeting phrases of several or all major religions in Indonesia. These greeting phrases have become widespread during the Reformasi era in the aftermath of fall of Suharto in 1998. Politicians and public figures often use them to emphasize the multireligious identity of Indonesia, though Islamic conservatives have criticized them. History During the Liberal democracy period in Indonesia and Guided Democracy that followed it under Sukarno, the common phrase used in speech and formal meetings was "", the Indonesian and Malay word for independence or freedom, or variations of it such as "". Sukarno often used this phrase during his speeches and orations. However, he later used the Islamic greeting phrase "" to open the session of People's Consultative Assembly on 22 June 1966 addressing the issue of 30 September Movement to the parliament ...
