Summary
Almost any mode of art can become a vehicle for interreligious engagement—music, pictorial arts (painting, drawing, photography, printmaking), sculpture, ceramics, poetry and creative writing, crafts and folk art, theater, film/TV, dance, and more. Some artistic expressions, like architecture, material objects, and ritual performance, play central roles in spiritual identity and praxis. Chapter 13 discusses the relationship of art and religion, the promise that arts show for advancing interreligious understanding and collaboration, the range of objectives and projects that one may find, and challenges that arise.
