I would like to share with you the publication of the following three research articles that might be interesting for some of you. These articles are for an important part product of reflections within our IASYM community in the past years and are (to be) published in high ranked journals. I am really happy with that. The first one on ritual, worship and learning (together with Ronelle Sonnenberg) has just been published in Studia Liturgica. The second one on apprenticeship learning is to be published in the coming months in Religious Education, where the third one which is a reflection on the empirical as starting point for youth ministry research (together with Bård Eirik Hallesby Norheim) is to be published later this year in International Journal of Practical Theology.
