| Description | This chapter examines moments and spaces of a year-long interfaith and cultural dialogue series in an urban neighbourhood in Germany. Based on ethnographic research in Stuttgart, I illustrate that the articulation of urban spiritual geographies is not limited to prominent nodes of the urban religious geography, but crucially depends on many small spaces, seemingly invisible exchanges, and interpersonal encounters that create more inclusive spiritual geographies that are reflective of larger urban religious and cultural transformations. I argue that it takes more than the dissemination of information and knowledge for interfaith and intercultural encounters to be successful. Meaningful interfaith encounters need to undo invisible boundaries and create feelings of familiarity and community among diverse local residents. Productive interfaith activities need to become starting points for new ties, networks and future cooperation, remake urban spatialities and socialities, and generate more inclusive cityscapes.
