Spirituality and Faith in and through Leisure

Thursday, 14 July 2016: 10:45-12:15
Location: Hörsaal BIG 2 (Main Building)
RC13 Sociology of Leisure (host committee)

Language: English

Leisure has been an important human space and activity in the writings of religious scholars and theologians, and in the cultural practices associated with various religions, faiths and other forms of spirituality. From scriptural edicts about what can and cannot be done in leisure, to the ways in which leisure has become a form of religion in late modernity, the intersection and examination of spirituality in and through leisure is the subject of this session. We call on all who are interested in examining the importance of leisure to spirituality, and spirituality to leisure, to submit abstracts for this session.
