"PATRIOTISM?" CONFERENCE, 19TH MAY 2012, MANCHESTER
January 24, 2012 
In the second of its conferences on civil society, the Lincoln Theological Institute is pleased to announce the conference, “Patriotism?”.
How might national loyalty, identity and cohesion be understood in a religiously plural and culturally differentiated ‘nation’? The conference aims to achieve greater clarity over whether or not the revivification of Patriotism is warranted, and in what ways a revitalised Patriotism may differ from past Patriotisms. The present state of Britain’s relationship with the European Union, a proposed referendum on Scottish Independence, and the celebration of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in June 2012 make Patriotism a highly relevant topic.
