The Explorations event follows on from the Perspectives event on 4th December 2014 (see the report on this website). Four critical themes have emerged from this previous event, which will be the focus of our Explorations in Birmingham.
A – Religious migration and transnationalism
B – Planning and places of worship
C – Religious communities and Built Heritage
D – Theology of Place
An explanation of the themes has been posted here, or can be downloaded instead. We are pleased to welcome our five speakers (some tbc) who will be stimulating our discussions around these themes.
