Different religious practices, objects, rituals, symbols, spaces, narratives, discourses and embodiments contribute to and shape nonviolent actions across the world and among different faiths. These varied spiritual and religious practices are developed by ordinary people at different levels, including everyday practices, both individually and collectively. Could we find in lived religious experiences of nonviolence a path to a theology of nonviolence? Could we find in lived religion a framework to analyse, research, practice and build that theology? Is there a common interreligious ground on these lived experiences of faith-based nonviolence? Could we find on lived experiences of nonviolence a path to one's own faith and, at the same time, to a fruitful interreligious dialogue? Secular approaches to nonviolence have sought to limit nonviolence both as a concept and as a practice, trying to confine it to notions of an exclusively political or technical nature. This paper focuses on these questions, suggesting a research agenda and theoretical/practical framework to build that theology and dialogue in an effort to overcome some of those limitations.
