Abstract
The articles on Sufism in this issue arise from a conference entitled ‘Sufism for a New Age: Twenty-First Century Neo-Sufism, Cosmopolitan Piety and Traditionalist Responses’. The conference was held by the Centre for the Study of Contemporary Muslim Societies (now the Religion and Society Research Centre) at the University of Western Sydney on 29 and 30 September 2011. It featured new research on contemporary forms of Sufism across the globe, not only in Indonesia but elsewhere. Happily we had sufficient materials on Indonesia, combined with a later addition, to allow a focus in this issue on new trends in the study of Indonesian Sufism. Together these articles help update existing sociological accounts of how Indonesian Muslims today are making use of their Sufi heritage.
