To whom it may concern,

From 31st August – 2nd September the Faculty of Theology of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin is holding a 3-day workshop on the topic of “Universal political ethics in the context of the plurality of religions”. The workshop will explore the intersection between religion and politics in the Western European and Arab-Islamic context from theological and political perspectives, using the specific examples of Germany and Jordan. The workshop intends to consider the influence and role of religion – historically but also currently – upon society, the rights and status of religious minorities, the compatibility and applicability of democracy within a Christian or Muslim majority society and the meaning of universal political ethics.

Prof. Dr. Moh’d Khair Eiedat, Dean of the Faculty of Political Science at the University of Jordan, will be attending this workshop as a guest speaker.

The workshop will be conducted entirely in English.
