Dear Professor Colleague, |
In connection with the Silver Jubilee of the Chair for Christian Studies and Research, we organize an International Conference on the above theme. The Interdisciplinary Conference seeks to study on the conversations among religions themselves, religions’ dialogue with the secular society and the response of Christian Theology in facilitating this dialogue which takes place in a pluralistic world. The Chair had organized, in collaboration with the Institute of Theology and Ecclesiological Investigations International Research Network, an International Conference on Inculturation and the Church in 2008. |

We invite the interested scholars/ faculty members to present papers in the Conference. Those who would like to present papers may send abstracts before 2010 Sept. 30th. Boarding and Lodging will be provided by the organizers. Please circulate this message to your other staff members. |
