Description
Summary:I take a philosophical approach and seek to address the question of inter-religious rituals and practices with reference to what Charles Taylor has called 'the immanent frame.' Whilst considering the dynamics of inter-religious or cross-religious ritual, this article will focus mainly on the idea of rituality occurring in an immanent frame or habitus (Pierre Bourdieu). I will argue that whilst there are specific cultic rituals that need to be negotiated as part of any form of explicit inter-rituality, there is a larger potential that is suggested by a broader anthropological vision. Moreover, an 'immanent turn' by religions may be the positive step towards the joint creation of meaning and practice in the public sphere.
