ABSTRACT
A recent UK-based study of families in which mothers’ and fathers’ faith backgrounds (Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh) differ provides the context for this examination of transmission. Underlying the project was the question: how do young people, of dual religious inheritance, construct religious identities and understanding of religion? As their families often also combined different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, this chapter indicates the relationship between these components. The role of grandparents emerged as important, so our reporting spans three, in some cases four generations.
