Religion and politics - events, authenticity and meaning: A dialogical approach.

This chapter transgresses the old adage, 'never talk about religion or politics'. Taking a dialogical approach, the similarities and differences in how we can understand the articulation of events within churche and social movement communities are discussed. Adopting a format of a conversation, the authors' examine their differing conceptual positions and practical experiences, establishing points of similarity and difference. They argue that contemporary social movement and religious discourses and practices frequently find expression through formal and informal events, and they conclude that maybe the two are not as far apart as we may have first thought.
