Stephen Bevans | Pachamamma Christianity

Today's episode is another presentation from the Multireligious identities-conference, held in memory of the late Aasulv Lande, in March 2022 at CTR.
Prof. of Global Christianity at CTR, Mika Vähäkangas, gives an introduction to the speaker of this episode: Steve Bevans, the Louis J. Luzbetak, SVD Professor of Mission and Culture, Emeritus at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago USA, and a presentation on "Pachamamma Christianity – The Pan-Amazonian Synod and Indigenous Religious Identity."
About the conference:
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.

Does Russian public support Ukraine war? What do they demand from Putin?What is the role of nationalists in this war? How will the war continue and can we predict the outcomes?

Religion in Praxis Conversations Series | Elizabeth Shakman Hurd

This is the tenth episode in the Religion in Praxis Conversations Series (previously known simply as "the Conversations Series") and today's speaker is Elizabeth Shakman Hurd.
While offering important perspectives on the myriad evidentiary assessment challenges facing adjudicators, the legal and social scientific literature bypasses the political theological questions that interest me here. What are the theological and political conditions that sustain practices of political and religious asylum seeking despite the persistent limitations and limits surrounding legal adjudication involving religion? Given the instability of the category of religion, why do the authorities persist in trying to establish whether a person, action, belief, or practice is credibly subject to religious persecution? How might we understand religion anew in this context?
To address these questions, Elizabeth Shakman Hurd approaches the question of religion in asylum seeking and claiming through the prism of theology, understood in this context as a mode of inquiry that takes the human as a question rather than as a given, and acknowledges the significance of human finitude rather than an assertion of human mastery. We situate the argument in the context of ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and the migration crisis cause by this war.
