“…Whilst considered non-orthodox practice following strict interpretations of laïcité, research has shown that municipalities in France since the early 2000s increasingly facilitated and staged cooperation with religious actors (Lamine, 2005). In particular, there is a rich literature addressing the numerous joint mosque construction projects, through which local municipalities in France (and elsewhere) aimed to unify or select amongst often multiple Muslim groups in town in order ‘to construct’ one official Muslim interlocutor (Boubeker, 2006; de Galembert, 2007).…”

The literature on religious place-making has largely prioritized an emic perspective of religious actors often reducing the secular aspect of such place-making to a mere 'emptying out' of religion from public space. Based on ethnographic observations and in-depth interviews with political and religious representatives in Montreuil, one of the flagship towns of the 'red belt' of municipalities around Paris, this article looks at secular aspects of religious place construction. The discussion focusses on two practices of secular place-making: defining of religion 'worthy' of place and shifting the boundary between public and private space. Comparing the municipality's interactions with Muslim groups on the one hand, and evangelical churches on the other, I show that politics and sensibilities of the secular towards the religious vary for different religious groups over time. Locality can thus be understood as dynamic mode of secularism, enabling a constant placing and replacing of religion.

“…Writing about the Danish context, for example, Ahlin et al (2012: 411, 413) regard the proliferation of ‘inter-confessional, ecumenical, and inter-religious’ initiatives as responding to a ‘new diversity’ of ‘recent decades’. Treating ‘interfaith initiatives’ in France, Lamine (2005) identifies ‘crisis’ events such as the Gulf War (1990–1991) as instrumental in their recent proliferation, but also argues that progressive commitments to equality and increasing concerns with social cohesion likewise provoked state interest. In her overview of the Spanish context, Griera (2012: 571, 580) associates ‘the growing presence of interfaith groups, councils and initiatives all around the country’ with governmental perceptions of ‘religious diversity as a “risk factor”’ to be minimised through strategic intervention.…”

This article analyses the governance of religious diversity in the UK by focussing upon a number of faith-based organisations undertaking interreligious and multireligious activities in and around the northern English city of Leeds. The piece opens by delineating the 'UK religion policy window' which has existed for a number of decades and comprises a range of changing political priorities and programmatic approaches that inform the governance of religious diversity in the UK. A subsequent section provides a detailed engagement with selected examples of multifaith activities and interfaith organisations in and around the city of Leeds. This grounded reading of exemplar organisations is then developed by a concluding section that reflects upon the mutually constitutive dynamics of contemporary governance mechanisms as they play out through the partnerships embodied by the interfaith sector and framed by the UK religion policy window. Résumé Cet article analyse la gouvernance de la diversité religieuse au Royaume-Uni en mettant l'accent sur un certain nombre d'organisations confessionnelles qui mènent des activités interreligieuses et multireligieuses dans et autour de la ville de Leeds, au nord de l'Angleterre. L'article commence par définir le cadre de la politique religieuse du Royaume-Uni qui existe depuis plusieurs décennies et comprend divers changements dans les priorités politiques et les approches programmatiques qui influencent la gouvernance de la diversité religieuse au Royaume-Uni. Une deuxième partie fournit une étude précise avec une sélection d'exemples d'activités multiconfessionnelles et d'organisations interconfessionnelles dans et autour de la ville de Leeds. Cette étude détaillée de quelques modèles d'organisations est ensuite développée dans une dernière partie qui analyse la dynamique de construction mutuelle des mécanismes de gouvernance actuels tels qu'ils se manifestent à travers les partenariats mis en place dans le secteur interconfessionnel et régis par le cadre de la politique religieuse du Royaume-Uni.

“…The fourth set of interventions includes policy tools designed to enhance the political participation of religious organisations, such as the consultative bodies in Rennes and Toulouse and the processes of participation studied by Torrekens (2012) and Fourot (2015). Despite most European states being legally separate from religious organisations, the latter are increasingly present in governance structures (Dinham and Lowndes, 2008; Lamine, 2005) in order to inform urban policy-making.…”

Conceptualising the role of cities in the governance of religious diversity in Europe

The sociological literature has devoted less attention to cities than to nation-states as contexts for the regulation of religion and religious diversity in Europe. Drawing on ideas from the literature on migration, urban studies, geography and the sociology of religion, as well as empirical material from fieldwork conducted in three medium-size cities in France, the author conceptualises the governance of religious diversity in cities as complex assemblages where (1) the political interests and claims of various unequally socially positioned actors over (2) a number of domains and objects of the public expression of religiosity are (3) subjected to a variety of municipal interventions, which are (4) shaped by the interplay of supranational legal frameworks, national legislation, policies, institutional arrangements and local contextual factors. The result of these regulation processes are particular (and often contested) normative definitions of ‘accepted’ or ‘legitimate’ public expressions of religiosity, subsequently enacted by a variety of local actors through both formal procedures and informal practices.
