Abstract

Ritual is an essential part of human social experience, and yet there has been comparatively little discussion about the role of interrituality within religious experiences. This article traces some of the major themes in this dialogue as taken from the conversation begun in Volume 2 of Interreligious Studies and Intercultural Theology, guest edited by Professor Marianne Moyaert. Further, this article makes a case for the inclusion of the study of interrituality as an integral part of interreligious experience.
