Book Launch and Symposium 'Religious Heritage and Minority Communities' with TODD WEIR and LIEKE WIJNIA

The Bloomsbury Handbook on Religion and Heritage in Contemporary Europe provides a state-of-the-art guide by leading international scholars, policy makers and heritage practitioners. With 46 chapters, we cannot address all the contributions, thus we have chosen to concentrate on those which examine how religious communities are using their rich heritage to make new meanings for themselves in Europe. Our focus will be on Jewish, Muslim and Christian heritage. We want to think together about the challenges facing these communities, as they grapple with being Jewish or Muslim minorities in a historically Christian landscape, or as with being a minority of practicing Christians in the highly secularized society, such as that of Northern Netherlands.
