Two hundred participants from Africa, Asia, Australia, North- and South America, and Europe, attended the online bi-annual conference of the International Academy of Practical Theology (IAPT). The conference was hosted by KU Leuven’s Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies, and prepared by a scientific committee, unifying in ecumenical harmony, members of all Belgian theological faculties (Evangelische Theologische Faculteit Leuven (ETF Leuven), Faculté Universitaire de Théologie Protestante (FUTP), KU Leuven, and Université Catholique de Louvain (UCL)). Almost one hundred paper presentations and six keynote speeches were presented during July 8-10, 2021, and provided a diverse range of scholarly perspectives on the conference theme of coping with crisis.
