JCM Conference 2024
What is home?
5 - 11 February 2024
Haus Wasserburg, Vallendar
According to the UN, more people are currently refugees than ever before. Natural disasters such as drought, floods, fires and volcanic eruptions are some of the reasons that force people to leave their homes. But there are also human causes, such as wars, conflicts, persecution for political, religious or cultural reasons. This always involves a great element of injustice, discrimination and contempt for humanity play a major role. If you look at their history, the three Abrahamic religions have always been confronted with persecution and eviction. And even today, religious minorities are confronted with the pressure to leave their homeland.
JCM Conference 2024 will begin by exploring from an interreligious, intercultural perspective the question what home means before trying to give some answers from the Jewish, Christian and Muslim traditions to the loss of home. Through the encounter with our neighbours, how can we work together to ensure that everyone can find a home where they can live in peace and freedom?
Our target group includes students and their teachers, as well as all those interested in, and actively committed to, dialogue amongst the three religions.
Conference languages are German and English. All content will be translated.
If there is sufficient interest, we will offer parts of the conference for online participants.
