Abstract
This chapter summarises the lessons learnt from the wide variety of communities, organisations, and mediating institutions that the book has studied, and the many different ways in which mediating institutions can enable the religious and the secular to relate to each other, religious organisations to relate to secular organisations, religious institutions to relate to secular ones, and members of religious organisations to relate to non-members. The chapter shows that mediating institutions have the potential to enable peace and justice between the religious and the secular, between religious institutions and secular institutions, and between members of religious institutions and members of secular institutions; and that mediating institutions have a particular role to play in enabling the religious and the secular to work together in diverse new developments so that those developments might become communities of justice and peace, and therefore signposts towards the Kingdom of God. Religious buildings are shown to be important to this process, particularly in relation to their place-making potential.
