Syncretism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://bonaccithefilm.com/
For the linguistic term, see syncretism (linguistics).
Syncretism /ˈsɪŋkrətɪzəm/ is the combining of different (often seemingly contradictory) beliefs, often while melding practices of various schools of thought. Syncretism may involve the merger and analogising of several originally discrete traditions, especially in the theology and mythology of religion, thus asserting an underlying unity and allowing for an inclusive approach to other faiths.
