CONFERENCE: THE 17TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TAOIST STUDIES: TAOIST WAYS OF
ENHANCING LIFE—I CHING, FENG SHUI & PERSONAL CULTIVATION

Religious studies scholars from Asia, Europe, and North America joined Taiwanese
researchers, practicing Taoists, and local members of the contemporary Weixinism
religious movement to present academic papers as well as reports on personal
experiences with Taoist practices, I Ching divination, and applications of feng
shui.


THE TRUE JESUS CHURCH IN TAIWAN: RESILIENCE, COMMUNITY, AND THE CENTRALITY OF
TRUTH IN A CHINESE CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT

The True Jesus Church was founded in 1917 by a Chinese silk merchant named Wei
Enbo. Later taking the Christian name Baoluo (Paul), Wei claimed to have
received a vision in which Jesus personally baptized him, and called on him to
restore Christianity to its original purity. This report is an account of the
historical context of this unique branch of Christianity, and the experiences of
its members in Taiwan today.


THE MURSHIDIYYA IN SYRIA: A MODERN RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT – INTERVIEW WITH DMITRY
SEVRUK

The Murshidiyya is a Syrian religious community whose members are mainly
distributed between Western Syria and Damascus. This new religious movement
emerged in the 1920s around the figure of Salman al-Murshid, a political leader,
member of the parliament and religious preacher whose career ended in 1946 when
he was executed in Damascus. The Murshidis started as a split-off group from the
Alawi sect before eventually developing into an independent religious community.


SYRIA: THE SHEIKH, THE BRIDE AND THE PILGRIM – “TEMPORARY MARRIAGES” IN SAYYIDAH
ZAYNAB

The ten-year conflict in Syria has impacted every aspect of society. This
includes new incentives in both the marriage economy and the sex market: some
rural areas have seen a substantial increase in polygamous marriages, while some
cities have witnessed the development of a religiously sanctioned sex-for-money
trade.


REPORT: SALAFISTS AND ANTIQUITIES TRAFFICKING IN SYRIA

This report investigates how Salafist groups conduct and manage the illegal
trafficking of antiquities in south-west and north-west Syria, with a particular
focus on Idleb Governorate. It provides details on the interactions among the
actors involved (diggers, traders, armed groups and smugglers) and analyses the
various kinds of interactions between religious beliefs and norms, on the one
hand, and the illegal trade in cultural assets, on the other.


EGYPT: AL-AZHAR STRUGGLES TO BALANCE POLITICS AND TRADITION

Caught in the crossfire of ambitious geopolitical players, Al-Azhar struggles to
chart a course that will guarantee it a measure of independence while retaining
its position as the guardian of Islamic tradition. So far, Al-Azhar has been
able to fend off attempts by Mr. Al-Sisi to assert control but has been less
successful in curtailing the influence of Gulf states like Saudi Arabia and the
United Arab Emirates that increasingly are pursuing separate agendas.


THE RETURN OF THE GOLD DINAR – AN ANALYSIS OF THE ISLAMIC STATE COIN PRODUCTION

Although a theoretically ever-expanding Caliphate does not recognize
international borders or traditional states, its leadership nonetheless strived
to reproduce all the traditional signs of sovereignty. Last but not least, they
created a new currency. Minting of dinars and dirhams was the final component in
solidifying the physical reality of the group’s millenarian utopia.
