Workshop 1: European Legacies, European Challenges
23 November 2011
This first workshop addressed the history of
religious conflict and accommodation, and gauges the impact of religious
skepticism and secularization in Europe.
After a keynote on the relationship of public reasoning and religious
commitment, discussing the role of forgiveness in economic relations and
the impact the notion of the journey of the soul has for setting health
care priorities, four papers reflected on historical examples of
religious communities and attitudes negotiating their place in state and
society.
The concluding panel discussion engaged a group of outstanding experts and the public in a discussion on
a more visible and proactive investigation of the relationship between
religion and society at UCL.
