Dynamic IRD-Activities in Europe: Suggestions for further Analyses ‘in Context’

On the basis of the articles presented in the thematic issue of the ‘Journal of Religion and Transformation in Contemporary Societies ( JRAT )’, this article reflects upon the structures of Interreligious Dialogue ( IRD ) in Europe. On the one hand, it proposes to have a closer look at regional patterns of religions in public space, at sub-national patterns of IRD -activities as well as different social forms of IRD -activities. On the other hand, it makes the point that research has to critically re-assess concepts such as the Dialogue-Movement as well as religious plurality for the study of IRD -activities.
