The Gesellschaft zur Konziliengeschichtsforschung (Society for Research on the History of Councils), led by Prof. Dr Johannes Grohe (Rome) and Prof. Dr Thomas Prügl (Vienna), is holding an outstanding conference at the University of Bamberg in the run-up to the 1700th anniversary of the first ecumenical Council of Nicaea (325). Among the speakers are Thomas Graumann, Evangelos Chrysos, Josef Rist, Hanns Christof Brennecke, Matthias Simperl, Giulio Maspero, Winfried Büttner, Petar Vrancic, Alberto Ferreiro, Johann Anton Zieme, Ralf van Bühren, Uwe Michael Lang, Ansgar Frenken, Ulli Roth, Peter Bruns, Szilvia Somogyi and Federica G. Giordani.

Program

The volume by Stefan Heid "Altar und Kirche. Prinzipien christlicher Liturgie" (2019) will be published in English this autumn by the Catholic University of America Press in Washington (translator Susan Johnson), in co-edition with the publishing house Schnell & Steiner in Regensburg. In this way, the third German edition can appear simultaneously in the same layout. The new English and German editions are heavily revised.

Diocesan history in the German-speaking region has always been a focus of Erwin Gatz, director of the RIGG until 2010. We are therefore particularly pleased to draw attention to the conference to be held in Mainz on 10-11 November 2023 on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Gesellschaft für mittelrheinische Kirchengeschichte. Among the illustrious speakers are Christoph Kösters, Barbara Wieland, Andreas Holzem, Bernhard Schneider, Jürgen Bärsch, Matthias Kloft and Claus Arnold.

Program

The private trip of the lecturers and staff of the Pontifical Institute for Christian Archaeology to Reichenstein Castle on the Rhine near Bingen was a delight thanks to the sunny weather, the perfect organisation by Courtial Reisen, the hospitality of the owner of the castle, Lambert Lensing-Wolff, a descendant of Nikolaus Kirsch-Puricelli, and the competent guides by Dr Albrecht Weiland.
