Wednesday Weekly 22 December 2021

 

Dear friends and colleagues,

Now the year is coming to an end and with this Wednesday Weekly, we are saying Goodbye for 2021. We hope and wish that you all have a peaceful and good end of year as well as a successful start into the new year.

At year end, two of our KFG fellows are leaving us and we want to say thank you and farewell!

As two last recommendations for this year, we would like to draw your attention to new publications by our KFG fellows.

We look forward to welcoming you back with our weekly news in January and wish you all the best for 2022.

Stay healthy and happy!

Anja

Farewell to KFG Fellows

With the end of this year, we again have to say goodbye to some of our Senior Research Fellows: Ina Merdjanova had been part of the KFG since 1 January this year. In her work she focused on the processes of “neo-secularization” in Bulgaria and how the Orthodox Church is both implicated in and affected by those processes.

We also have to say farewell to Dietrich Jung who joined our team this September with his research project on “Islamic Modernities in World Society”. We are very happy that he has decided to come back to Leipzig for a second stay in September 2022.

For now, we would like to thank you, Ina and Dietrich, for your contributions and the good cooperation. You have been a great asset to the project!

We would also like to mention a new publication by our Associate Senior Researcher Housamedden Darwish. In the latest issue of the journal Teosofi: Jurnal Tasawuf dan Pemikiran Islam he aims to clarify the meaning of “renovation of religious discourse”, specifically by defining the disciplines of this renovation and their importance in determining its meaning.
