Ein Netzwerk-Wir: Religion im Zeitalter der Superdiversität

The Netherlands has changed profoundly in recent decades. The large cities of the Randstad have be-come ethnically ‘superdiverse’. There has also been a drastic change in the religious sphere, which is also characterised by diversity. What underlies these developments and what social consequences and challenges result from them will be described below. The explanations are based on two multidiscipli-nary research programmes on ‘hybrid religiosity’ and the ‘new we’ in the Netherlands, which were car-ried out atthe Theological Research Institute of the Dutch Dominicans (DSTS) and deal with the chal-lenges and effects of these diversification processes.
