Dear members of NIME,

 

The 2020 Annual General Meeting of NIME – Nordic Institute for Mission Studies and Ecumenics – was scheduled to take place at Lund University on March 18, but due to the Covid 19 pandemic it was delayed. As the pandemic continues, the board has decided to organize the AGM as a digital meeting, through Zoom, taking place Monday 14 December, 15.00-16.00 (NO/SE/DK time) / 16.00-17.00 (SF time).

 

A new issue of NIME Newsletter will be sent out within a week, and it will – in addition to documents for the AGM – include NIME’s program for the Spring term 2021, with several interesting seminars.

 

Knut Holter, chair of NIME’s board

NIME Seminar and Annual General Meeting 2019 in conjunction with:

 

 

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
Kajsa Ahlstrand: A Bit Christian, a Bit Buddhist
Raquel Bouso: Religious Identities under Construction: Performing Selves through Art
Sybille Fritsch-Oppermann: Multireligious Identities as Expressed in Arts in East and West
You Bin: Scriptural Reasoning in China – beyond the Abrahamic Religions
