Three highlights of this year remain in my mind:

– the visit to Oxford in February, with memorable lectures in St Benet’s Hall and C.S. Lewis Society

– the trip with seven doctoral students and post-docs to Heidelberg, Strasbourg and Leuven in June, with lots of fascinating seminars and sightseeings

– the decision of the Academy of Finland to establish a Centre of Excellence “Reason and Religious Recognition” under my direction, operating from 2014 to 2019

I have met so many interesting people and gained so many intellectual insights that I feel myself deeply privileged. I now wish everybody a peaceful Christmas and a Good New Year!
