Zusammenfassung: | In order to understand current dynamics of religious diversity, a focus on the tangible presence of religion and the co-existence of new and longstanding religious buildings, sites and artifacts in urban spaces is a fruitful starting point.

Situated in the interface between matter and religious meaning, religious icons are not simply carriers of meaning, but make it present. |
