DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s there has been a fundamental chang
 e in the religious landscape of the UK\, along wit
 h many other European countries. Professor Woodhea
 d suggests that this shift is so significant that 
 it amounts to a ‘De-Reformation’ of religion where
 by the mode of religion shaped by the 16thcentury 
 Reformation has\, for the first time in over four 
 centuries\, ceased to be the dominant mode in Brit
 ain.\n\nShe will examine how and why this shift ha
 s occurred\, looking first at how the historic chu
 rches\, both Catholic and Protestant\, have been i
 ncreasingly side-lined in society as the result of
  both external and internal pressures. She will di
 scuss the new mode of being religious or spiritual
  which has taken over from the Reformation mode\, 
 and try to isolate its defining characteristics\, 
 including a rejection of hierarchy and embrace of 
 what would once have been dismissed as ‘magic’.\n\
 nThis discussion will conclude with a consideratio
 n of how the UK’s new\, more diverse\, more indivi
 dualised\, and more religious landscape calls for 
 changes in various areas of policy\; including the
  way religion is taught in schools\, how religious
  identity is treated in law\, and how the state re
 lates to religion.\n\n\n--------------------------
 -----------\n\n\nThese seminars bring together a d
 iverse range of individuals from the humanities as

 e public policy implications of their work and res
 earch.\n\nThey will take place on Tuesdays between
