Description
Summary:This article studies the Women's Interfaith Journey Project of the Henry Martyn Institute, a center for interreligious dialogue and conflict transformation in Hyderabad, India. It argues that the journey methodology used in the project offers news avenues for interfaith relations. Especially in situations where community life is strained, the journey method facilitates a compressed experience of shared life outside the daily context (a third space), where people can explore each other on multiple levels. Thus, the journey method has the potential to enable, however fragile and preliminary, a new beginning between people.
