"In this panel, we will explore the materiality of religion as it manifests in lived religions through the lens of various religious groups. The analysis will focus on how material objects, rituals, and symbols contribute to religious experiences across different faiths intending to identify critical analytical methods for interpreting the role of materiality in religious contexts. By examining the interplay between the materiality of religion and its broader social and cultural frameworks, we aim to highlight how physical objects, spaces, and practices are embedded in and interact with religious beliefs and practices. This comprehensive approach seeks to uncover how material culture reflects and actively shapes religious experiences. This panel aims to enrich contemporary discussions on interfaith and intra-faith dialogue and religious diversity through a holistic reading that emphasizes pluralistic and inclusive perspectives.
Keywords: Materiality of religion, theology, religious diversity, lived religion."
