International konference om konversion
På det lutherske institut for menighedsudvikling i Greifswald i Tyskland afholdes der den 3. - 6. februar et international symposium om "Konversion zwischen empirischer Forschung und theologiskcher Reflexion". Baggrunden for symposiet er, at den religiøse pluralisme, som præger Europa i dag, indebærer muligheden for religiøse forandringer inklusive konversion."Perspektive soll es auf der Tagung zu einem Zugewinn an analytischer Klarheit kommen, um konversive Entwicklungen in Biographien besser verstehen zu können. Besonders in einer Zeit, in der Religion und Weltanschauung zunehmend Ergebnis eigener Wahl sind, stellt sich die Frage nach den Übergängen von der einen zu der anderen Sicht, aber auch die Frage von Veränderungsprozessen in der eigenen Religion und Weltanschauung." Blandt de medvirkende er en række førende internationale konversionsforskere og missionsteologer, b,a. Daniel Jayaraj, Stephen Bevans, Michael Herbst og Johannes Zimmermann. Download program. |

From 2001 to 2010 the number of converts is estimated to have grown from about 60.000 to 100.000. The report further shows that about 62% of the converts a women. The research was undertaken "to assess the roles that converts to Islam have within our communities and it shows that there are numerous positive and highly productive roles that they play. There has also been no definitive study on the number of converts and whilst the assessments in this report are projections, we attempt to look at this area using statistical data that is available and through interviews conducted for this research." The reports also "highlights the fact that converts can be a bridge between Muslim and non-Muslim communities. Press perception around converts is also addressed and we hope that the report is useful to highlight the important role that converts to Islam have and some of the areas of support that need strengthening within mosques and Muslim communities."
