Reimagining Interculturality: Toward an Ecologically Conscious Framework for Religious Education in Multicultural Societies

This article proposes reimagined interculturality as a vital conceptual horizon for religious education in multicultural societies facing ecological crisis. Critiquing the anthropocentric assumptions of dominant intercultural frameworks, it argues for rerooting interculturality in the web of life. Drawing on ecological thought, the Korean notion of sangho, and faith formation scholarship, interculturality is reimagined not as a strategy for managing differences but as a relational condition shaping ways of being-with across human and more-than-human lives. This framework invites religious education to attend to power asymmetry, ecological vulnerability, and embodied communal practices as constitutive of formation in an age of planetary precarity.
