Taking some snapshots from everyday religious life in Austria as as tarting point, my contributionisatheoretical reflection on womensreligiousidentity in the area of tension betweenbelonging, authority and autonomy.Following postmodern conceptsofidentity Idescribe womensreligious identity as "threshold identity" resp.asfluid and fragile.This description requiresaclarification of the relation between secular and religious identity on one side and religious and moral identityo nt he other. It becomes evidentt hat the experience of God as aconstituent of religious identity exceeds by far the moral identity of the religious self,comprising aspecial potential of emancipation for women. However, realizing this potential in the sense of empowerment and personal autonomy results in conflicts with male authorities,who as the guardians of religioust raditions,have akey function in theconstruction and demarcation of religious identity.Ifwomensthreshold identityg oes along with as ubstantial concept of autonomy, entailing the call for institutional genderjustice, it is the challengeofour time in all religioustraditions,especially in Christianity and Islam. Here is the crucial point to decide what the religious landscape of the future will look like and whetherwomen of the 21st century will find a home in theirreligious traditions.
