International Bonhoeffer Congress, Prague, 22 - 27 July 2008 The planning committee of the X. International Bonhoeffer Congress cordially invites you to propose papers. The theme will be: Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Theology in Today’s World: A Way between Fundamentalism and Secularism? The conference will especially concentrate on Bonhoeffer’s prison theology, though not wanting to exclude his other writings. It wants to find answers to the question: How can Bonhoeffer’s prison theology be helpful in a world confronted by fundamentalism as well as by secularism. How does it prevent the church from being a fundamentalist one or from becoming totally secular? There will be main speakers during the morning sessions and seminars in the afternoon. The three working days of the conference will have the following topics: Wednesday, 23 July Fundamentalism and Secularism In the morning, speakers will analyse the current phenomena of religious fundamentalism and secularism (the latter especially in Eastern Europe). Proposals are invited for the afternoon seminar dealing with the question: How could Bonhoeffer’s theology generally help to guide a path in the current situation of fundamentalism and secularism.
