Abstract:

Panel description: As people challenge borders of separation -- in gender, in geography, and in age -- they often challenge the perceived borders of religious practice. When these challenges are unexpected, they may result in a negotiation between the individual, religious practice, and religion in a broader sense. Such negotiations highlight resilience both in religion itself and in individuals. This panel of researchers brings forward resilience in dynamics of power experienced in immigration. A combination of empirical and theoretical theological research reveals aspects of religion that become negotiable when confronted with crisis.
