Nadjaf, grand site de pèlerinage chiite pour les vivants et… pour les morts
'OpenEdition', 2021Co-Authors: Dumont Gérard-françoisAbstract:Nadjaf, ville située à 160 km au sud de la capitale irakienne Bagdad, tient une place très importante comme ville de pèlerinage et lieu de départ de la principale procession chiite annuelle. En outre, sa fonction de pèlerinage dévotionnel se complète doublement, d’une part, par ce qu’il convient d’appeler de longs « pèlerinages théologiques » et, d’autre part, par un dernier pèlerinage post mortem de la dépouille des croyants.Najaf, a city located 160 km south of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, plays a very important role as a pilgrimage city and the starting point of the main annual Shiite procession. In addition, its function as a devotional pilgrimage is complemented doubly, on the one hand, by what is known as long "theological Pilgrimages" and, on the other hand, by a final post-mortem pilgrimage of the remains of believers

‘Biker Revs’ on Pilgrimage: Motorbiking Vicars Visiting Sacred Sites
'MDPI AG', 2021Co-Authors: Dowson RAbstract:In April 2014, a new Church of England diocese was instituted, combining three smaller dioceses covering a large area of Yorkshire. To mark the development of this new ‘mega-diocese’, a group of motorcycling vicars began to meet regularly and undertake ‘rides out’ across the diocese and further afield. This paper explores research undertaken with these motorbiking priests and their companions. The study followed an ethnographic approach, as the researcher is an ordained clergyperson embedded within the ‘Biker Revs’ community, though not a biker. The research comprised semi-structured interviews and informal conversations with the Biker Revs over several years. This research investigates the Biker Revs’ experiences and motivations for undertaking Pilgrimages together, by motorbike. On these performative journeys, the Biker Revs initially visited sacred sites across the United Kingdom. As a basis for comparison, this paper utilizes Michalowski and Dubisch’s 2001 iconic ethnographic research on an American motorcycle pilgrimage, to analyze the group’s activities. The ordained bikers identified the group as a safe space for clergy, outside their parishes, whilst their spouses recognized the benefits of spending time with ‘others like me who understand the pressures of clergy life’. For some participants these Pilgrimages provide a religious retreat, as together, they explore sacred landscapes and learn the stories of their holy destinations

Religious Pilgrimage: Experiencing Places, Objects and Events
'Biophysical Society of Japan', 2020Co-Authors: Dowson RAbstract:This article explores the concept of the Eventization of faith (Pfadenhauer, 2010) through application of three case studies, to identify learning that might be applied to a traditional pilgrimage destination, such as Jerusalem. This Holy City is held sacred by the three Abrahamic religions, and faith-based tourism is central both to the Holy Land and to the city of Jerusalem (Leppakari & Griffin, 2017). This paper builds on research that identifies processes and models that provide insight into the developing concept of the eventization of faith. The work examines outcomes from three different perspectives: - The impact of traditional church-led Pilgrimages to places in the Holy Land, on participants and their local church communities. - The successful eventization of the Lindisfarne Gospels as part of their release to Durham University in 2013, and the impact on local historical, cultural and religious identity and heritage (Dowson, 2019). - The shared pilgrimage experience of thousands of Christian women participating in the annual Cherish Conference in Leeds, Yorkshire, held in a secular event venue (Dowson, 2016). In analysing these three case study examples, this paper aims to identify factors that might enhance our understanding of the concept of eventization of faith. Utilising face to face interviews and online survey results, the research focuses on the aspects of community, identity and authenticity. Events enable shared experiences in a faith context (Lee et al., 2015), and so this research develops a model that captures and expresses approaches that might encourage Pilgrimages to traditional destinations, through the medium of events, adding insight into the development of the academic concept of Eventization of Faith

A Discussion of the Practical and Theological Impacts of COVID-19 on Religious Worship, Events and Pilgrimage, from a Christian Perspective
Dublin Institute of Technology, 2020Co-Authors: Dowson RAbstract:This article explores the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 on the worship services and events of Christian communities. Focusing on the UK in terms of practice, the research includes early pandemic examples from a range of Christian traditions and denominations, as well as relevant cases from other countries. The Christian church organisations considered range from the extensive world-wide reaches of the Roman Catholic Church, to international Protestant denominations such as the Anglican Communion, and to independent non-denominational groupings and local churches. This paper considers the ways in which churches are coming to terms with the impacts of this pervasive virus on the global community, and on their own congregations. At a time when all religious events were postponed or cancelled, many churches moved online for the delivery of daily and weekly worship services. Yet, some other events needfully persisted; this has especially been the case for funerals, as the number of people who have died from the virus continues to increase around the world. Governments have imposed new regulations that required immediate changes in religious practice, and the effects of these are discussed, giving examples. And it is not only religious practice that is changing – religious tourism has shut down, whilst pilgrimage seems to have morphed into a new creature, enabling pilgrims to continue in their journeying. These new Pilgrimages may be physical or virtual, but they have been moderated by the limitations on travel, by social distancing and by self-isolation. Meanwhile, theology is not exempt from alteration. The virus continues to impact on central religious practices, such as receiving the Eucharist (Holy Communion), sharing the Peace, and the use of religious buildings, transforming the ways that the Christian faith is practiced. The suggested introduction of ticketing for services moves beyond theology to the continued Eventization of Faith in this new world

Catholiques français et chrétiens palestiniens :pour une sociologie relationnelle de la solidarité
'OpenEdition', 2020Co-Authors: Bandini CaterinaAbstract:À partir d’une posture relationnelle, cet article vise à éclairer les liens de solidarité entre une partie du monde catholique français et les communautés chrétiennes de Palestine. Pour ce faire, il s’intéresse à la fois aux discours et aux pratiques des catholiques français vis-à-vis du conflit israélo-arabe et aux transformations sociales et politiques qu’a connues la population palestinienne chrétienne. Les réseaux de solidarité ainsi constitués se distinguent fortement de la plupart des mobilisations catholiques en faveur des « chrétiens d’Orient », liées à la droite identitaire. L’appel à la solidarité vient d’une partie des Églises palestiniennes engagée, depuis la fin des années 1980, dans un mouvement de théologie de la libération et dans l’établissement de circuits alternatifs de pèlerinage. Ces pèlerinages, dits des « pierres vivantes », mènent les deux groupes d’acteurs à s’interroger sur leur identité religieuse et nationale et sur le sens de leur engagement en tant que chrétiens pour la justice et la paix en Palestine.From a relational approach, this article sheds new light on the solidarity between a segment of French catholicism and the Palestinian Christian communities. For this purpose, the article engages with the discourse and practices of French Catholics concerning the Israeli-Arab conflict, as well as with social and political transformations within the Palestinian Christian population. The solidarity networks differ significantly from most French Catholic mobilizations in favor of “Eastern Christians,” which are related to right-wing identity politics. The call for solidarity comes from a sector of Palestinian Churches that is involved, since the late 1980s, in a Liberation Theology movement, and in the creation of alternative pilgrimage tours. These tours, called “living stone Pilgrimages,” lead both groups of actors to question their religious and national identity, and the meaning of their commitment as Christians for justice and peace in Palestine
