| Summary: | Multiple Religious Belonging isa type of spirituality that needs to be analyzed. This article makes use of a model that understands spiritual identity as Pafh-of-Life-Navigation and applies this to the question why those who identity themselves as multiple religious belongers navigate their spiritual life in a special way. The article argues that using the model helps to understand this special kind of spiritual identity and can set it into the context of a pluralistic world of spiritual meanings that individuals have to connect to networks of meanings. The question how two spiritual ideations make sense is tackled and answered by introducing the anamorphic points of reference in use. Multiple identity is a form of navigation using two instead of one map and making use of the difference between these for meanings as a force to proceed forward. In that way, how individuals use the tension between two historically, socially and spiritually constructed identities is in itself part of their identity process. |
