For the past decades, Europe witnessed large-scale movements of people who left their home country for multiple reasons, including violent conflicts, changes in climate, or financial necessity. In response, religious communities, religious leaders, and church-based NGOs had to accommodate newcomers from a broad range of different nationalities and religions. As a result, they had to deal with many issues concerning, for example, multi-faith interactions, transnational belonging, church sponsorship of migrants, rising tensions, or peaceful co-existence.This panel invites papers from a broad area of “ecclesial hospitality” including contributions dealing with the topic from a theoretical, theological, or empirical angle. We seek to stimulate a discussion on how the changing circumstances and new challenges influence the hosts and the guests and how those interactions change over time. In other words, we encourage papers exploring the dynamics of hospitality in the ecclesial context.Chair: Emil Hilton Saggau (Lund University)Speakers:Emil Hilton Saggau (Lund University), Ecclesial hospitality – towards a framework of church-based reliefJens Van Rompaey (KU Leuven), Synodality and hospitality in the Catholic Church: is the pilgrim people of God truly hospitable?Ryszard Bobrowicz (KU Leuven), Multi-Faith Response to MigrationHakan Gülerce (Harran University), A Muslim Response to Forced Migration: The Role of Religion in Social Cohesion in Türkiye
