Multireligious Identities Lund Mission Studies Conference in memory of Prof Aasulv Land
When: March 17-18 2020 (starting at 1 pm, ending 12:30 pm)
Location: LUX, Helgonavägen 3, Lund, Sweden
Borders between religions have always been porous in terms of ideas, rituals, communities and individuals. Multireligious identities form in the encounters and in the overlapping areas between religions. Prof Aasulv Lande served as a missionary in Japan and got deeply involved in encountering Buddhism. Much of his research and life took place in the areas of contact between Christianity and other religions, most notably Buddhism. In this conference, we want to explore and discuss the phenomenon of multireligious identities.
From the program:
Steve Bevans: Being Church in a Multireligious World
