SUMMARY:Symposium: Religious Heritage in the Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:On 27 March\, a unique symposium will take place in Museum Catharijneconvent\, exploring how Eastern and Oriental Christian traditions find a new home in the Netherlands. The event is organised by the Platform Oosters Christendom in collaboration with the museum. \nIn recent years\, the number of Eastern Christian believers in the Netherlands has grown due to migration from regions where these traditions originate. As a result\, new church communities have emerged\, while others have joined already existing congregations. Over time\, these communities have found their place within Dutch society\, often maintaining their traditions and rituals while also adapting to their new cultural context. \nThe symposium Religious Heritage in the Diaspora brings together scholars\, clergy\, and cultural practitioners for a day of dialogue\, learning\, and exchange. \nWhat to expect ✨\nParticipants can look forward to a diverse programme\, including: \n🎤 Inspiring presentations \n\nMor Polycarpus Augin Aydin (Syriac Orthodox Church) on the beauty of calligraphy\nHeleen Murre-van den Berg on religious books and diaspora communities\nMatay de Mayee who will introduce participants to the flavours of the Suryoye kitchen\nFather Antonios Tarlizos on musical traditions in the Greek Orthodox faith\n\n💬 Roundtable discussion on the shared use and future of church buildings\, with experts from organisations such as SKIN\, Stichting Kerkelijk Geldbeheer\, and researchers working on living religious heritage. \n⛪ Visit to a Greek Orthodox church in Utrecht\, followed by a discussion about cooperation and the use of religious spaces. \n🥗 Lunch and closing reception\, offering the perfect opportunity to meet other participants and continue the conversation. \nPractical information\n📅 Date: Friday\, 27 March 2026 \n📍 Location: Museum Catharijneconvent \n🕙 Time: 10:00 – 17:00 \n💶 Participation fee: \n\n€25 per person\n€50 for organisations(Including lunch\, drinks\, and a publication featuring portraits of Eastern Christian churches in the Netherlands.)\n\n📧 Registration: info@oosterschristendom.nl \n🔗 More information: \nhttps://www.oosterschristendom.nl/nederland/symposium-religieus-erfgoed-in-de-diaspora-2/ \nThis symposium offers a unique opportunity to discover the rich heritage of Eastern Christian communities\, exchange perspectives\, and reflect on the role of religious traditions in a changing society.
