CONSOLIDATION UNIT SUMMARIES.
BLOCK 1 - PLACES p.204
Religious diversity:
Across the 3 core religions of Christianity, Islam & Hinduism but also Judaism and Sikhism
Historical core of world religions paradigm - Nye "Religions the Basic"
Internal religious diversity - Christianity being a good example of this and the diversity of meeting places within these traditions.
Wp problematic approach as it looks at differences rather than a more holistic approach and similarities between religions - not just a western visions but global and diasporic.
LONDON
- good example of religious diversity in terms of space and changes in approach to these religious spaces.
Material, liquid, public, private.
Space connects to material religion with buildings, fixtures and fittings.
Deities in a Hindu temple and the part they play in worship within these spaces.
Temple buildings themselves are considered both material and sacred - focal points for pilgrimages.
Pilgrimage places with material as opposed to community hubs for people to gather locally. - Consider images used 5.1 & 5.2 of material religion and changing use of religious space.
Diasporic counterparts
Sacred space not the same as religious - sacred means set apart p.213 - Religious practices are often part of every-day life.
Cultural design differences like with mosques p.211
Each religion tends to have a central sacred space like Jerusalem, Mecca etc.

The doing of religion - like with ascetism p. 208
Practice and Material:
Orsi example 5.1 reading - statue significance.

oi
Different ways to practice religion within same religion.
Meals, worship, healing, pilgrimage
Diaspora, taboo, sacrifice how these help understand religion in practice.
Practice and Belief
: belief in deities, spiritual powers, heaven etc.
Belief often unites religion i.e with Tawjid - oneness of God uniting Muslims.
What do people believe is often central to religious studies focus but this is only the part of it.
Orthodoxy - belief versus orthopraxy - practice.
Different ways of observing fasts and feasts - cultural differences. Vernacular religion relevant here. Belief based on interpretation & outside influences Sunni vs. Shi'a vs. Sufi.
Impact of religious teachers, preachers and the ways they deliver the message - practices they encourage.
