Kajsa Ahlstrand | A Bit Christian, a Bit Buddhist

14-15 March, 2022, the Centre for Theology and Religious Studies of Lund University and Institute for Contextual Theology organised a conference in memory of the late Aasulv Lande.

Borders between religions have always been porous in terms of ideas, rituals, communities and individuals. Multireligious identities form in the encounters and in the overlapping areas between religions. Prof. Aasulv Lande served as a missionary in Japan and got deeply involved in encountering Buddhism. Much of his research and life took place in the areas of contact between Christianity and other religions, most notably Buddhism. In this conference, we want to explore and discuss the phenomenon of multireligious identities. 

Prof. of Global Christianity at CTR, Mika Vähäkangas, gives an introduction to the conference and its first speaker,  Kajsa Ahlstrand prof. Church and Mission Studies, World Christianity and Interreligious studies, Uppsala Universtity, with the rubric: A Bit Christian, a Bit Buddhist.
