Immigrant religions and the context of reception
Public Lecture

Universitätsring 1, 1010 Wien
Vortrag
International migrants are a key force in the globalisation of religious traditions. The presentation discusses the role of the receiving society in terms of migrant religious settlement. It is argued that the receiving society, i.e. the context of reception, affects new traditions in multiple ways. National legislation and welfare state structures, for example, both have an influence on how religious traditions adapt to new contexts.
In comparative studies, for example, it is essential to take the context of reception into account. The development is discussed in the context of advanced industrial societies, especially in the case of Finland.
