SUMMARY:Lucian N. Leustean - Religion and Forced Displacement in the Eastern Orthodox World | Sober Thought
DESCRIPTION:Religion and Forced Displacement in the Eastern Orthodox World\nThe talk examines religious mobilisation in response to forced displacement in predominantly Orthodox countries in Eastern Europe. It highlights areas of cooperation and divergence between faith-based communities and state authorities\, with a particular focus on Eastern Orthodoxy. It shows that religious communities have played a dual role. At times\, they have been among the first to respond to violence; in other cases\, the politicisation of religion has affected the ways in which church leaders and local communities have engaged with forcibly displaced populations. \nThe talk summarises the findings of the British Academy project ‘When States Fail: Forced Displacement\, Religious Diplomacy and Human Security in the Eastern Orthodox World’. \nEvent Details:\n📅 Wednesday\, 24 June 2026\n🕑 14:00 EEST \n✅Register for free → https://forms.gle/tXqkwj7pbTZCkgjG8\n💻 Join us online via Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/xvj-ogxd-woc  \n🎓 Free & open to all \nLucian N.
