Center for Studies on New Religions : ウィキペディア英語版
CESNUR

CESNUR (English: ''Center for Studies on New Religions'', Italian: Centro Studi sulle Nuove Religioni), is an organization based in Turin, Italy. It was established in 1988 by a group of religious scholars from universities in Europe and the Americas, working in the field of new religious movements. Its director is the Italian sociologist and attorney Massimo Introvigne. CESNUR defines itself as being independent of any religious group, church, denomination or association. It has evolved into a network of scholars and organizations who study the field.
==Aims==
According to their website, CESNUR is devoted to promoting scholarly research in the field of new religious consciousness, and is dedicated to exposing the problems associated with some movements, while defending the principles of religious liberty.
While established by a group of scholars who were mostly Roman Catholics, CESNUR is not affiliated with any religious group or denomination and has from the outset included scholars of various religious persuasions. The Italian authorities recognized CESNUR as a public non-profit organization in 1996 and are currently the main contributors to CESNUR projects.〔 Other sources of income include book royalties and member contributions.〔
CESNUR is critical of concepts like mind control, thought reform and brainwashing, asserting that they lack scientific and scholarly support and are mainly based on anecdotal evidence. They do not believe that all religious movements are benign but oppose special laws against religious movements.
CESNUR sponsor yearly conferences in the field of new religions. Conferences have been held inter alia at the London School of Economics (1993 and 2001), the Federal University of Pernambuco in Recife, Brazil (1994), the Sapienza University of Rome (1995), the Université de Montréal (1996), the Free university of Amsterdam (1997), the Industrial Union in Turin (1998), the Bryn Athyn College in Pennsylvania (1999), the University of Latvia in Riga (2000), the University of Utah and Brigham Young University (2002), and the University of Vilnius (2003).
CESNUR-affiliated scholars include:
*Eileen Barker, professor in sociology at the London School of Economics
*David Bromley, professor of Sociology & Anthropology, Virginia Commonwealth University
*Douglas Cowan, Renison College, University of Waterloo
*Jeffrey K. Hadden, University of Virginia
*Irving Hexham, Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Calgary
*Reender Kranenborg, Free university in Amsterdam
*J. Gordon Melton, Institute for the Study of American Religion (ISAR)
