Funded by the Gingko Foundation’s Werner Mark Linz Memorial Grant, Fatima Tofighi and Ulrich Schmiedel hosted a workshop on Christian-Muslim Political Theology at the International Center for Comparative Theology and Social Issues at Bonn University in Germany from 14 to 15 October 2024. More than ten contributors from more than five countries grappled with classical texts about religion in politics, connecting Europe to the Middle East and the Middle East to Europe.

The conference was organised by the University of Bonn in collaboration with the Steyler Missionare (Societas Verbi Divini) in Sankt Augustin/ Bonn. The conference took place from 10 - 12 September 2024.

This was the title of the first conference on Comparative Theology in Europe (CTE). From September 1-3 more than 30 scientists from all over the world held intensive discussions at the “Thomas Morus Akademie” in Bensberg.
