"The module will explore the ways in which religious, romantic and real worlds collide and coalesce to create sacred places in the city.    The module will raise and seek answers to many questions.... By bridging the gap between theory and practice, the module will discover whether sacred spaces, with their peculiar histories and reminiscences, tell the larger story of inclusion, segregation and adaptation in the city".
