Study Day: „Churches for new Cities“ – Religious Architecture of the Late Modern Age | 7–8 September, GreifswaldWhile West German church building almost came to a standstill in the late 1970s, a window for new projects opened up once again in East Germany – in exchange for West German money. The transdisciplinary study day is dedicated to late and postmodern church building in East Germany in an all-German and European context. The event series " Experiment Modernity" in Greifswald will be accompanied by two exhibitions and various architectural tours. Young scholars, researchers, and contemporary witnesses from the fields of architecture and art history, church and theology, monument preservation, and urbanism will engage in conversation in lectures, sections, and discussion panels. The programme is organised by the working group "Church and Cultural Heritage" at the Faculty of Theology of the University of Greifswald in cooperation with the German National Committee for Monument Protection. 7–8 September 2023

Call for Papers: Conference on Pentecostalism and Gender | 9–10 February 2024, HeidelbergFor their 14th conference, the European Research Network on Global Pentecostalism (GloPent) is looking for contributions with a focus on Pentecostalism and Gender. Pentecostalism's attitudes to gender are diverse. Historical research on Pentecostalism has acknowledged its attraction to the marginalized, regardless of gender. Political and social scientists frequently document the significant cultural and social influence exerted by Pentecostal churches on gender debates. Moreover, the theological perspectives on gender within the Pentecostal movement demonstrate substantial heterogeneity. Additional academic research is required to understand how Pentecostals navigate gender-related issues in their day-to-day experiences. This involves placing emphasis on a nuanced understanding of their self-perceptions and practices. Submission deadline: 30 September 2023
