Ways and means for the Third Millenium : national associations for the study of religions. 2005 AASR presidential address

Exploring the results of the 2002 survey that was distributed among members of the Association and the information derived from the members' directory, this Address argues that although the Association performs well overall, because of a few factors, including some structural changes within Australian society, the Association has lost members over the years. Moving to a discussion about the national context of our Association, this Address proposes a new conceptualisation of our Association for the study of religions that will give to the AASR ways and means for the Third Millennium: that of becoming a transnational one.
