Seminar: Bridges between the Secular and the Religious

The Margaret Beaufort Institute of Theology and Yuan Dao Study Society (Hong Kong, China) are holding a joint Zoom seminar with Institut Marie-Dominique Chenu (Berlin) on Monday, 17 January 10-12 UK time, entitled: 'Bridges between the Secular and the Religious:" Philosophical, Theological and Social Perspectives.'

The European Union is a value-based community. However, European societies are undergoing processes of transformations, which in turn affect the justification of their common foundation of values (Felix GEYER). Against the background of these philosophically and ethically significant developments, we will discuss what churches and theology can contribute to build bridges between secular and religious realities. (Ulrich ENGEL). For this purpose, the Pastoral Constitution of the Second Vatican Council is employed in a systematic-theological perspective. From a socio-political perspective, the topic will be illustrated by the example of migrant workers in Europe (Thomas EGGENSPERGER).
