The job description of the new imam as a mosque official has de facto
changed. A contemporary imam is now responsible for a number of new tasks
while some of the conventional ones have been abandoned.
The position and authority of the new imam – not only in Europe, but also
in native Turkey – have changed. Expectations placed on an imam in Europe are
greater than those placed on an imam in Ankara; a mosque in Europe is first a
Turkish district, and second a religious place, with the imam as the central figure
of this sphere.

IMAMS WITHOUT DISTRICT: CHANGING ROLES OF CONTEMPORARY MOSQUE OFFICIALS

Öz

Bir cami görevlisi olarak yeni imamın görev tanımı fiilen değişmiştir.
Geleneksel vazifelerden bazılarının terk edilmesiyle birlikte modern imamın artık
bir dizi yeni görevi vardır.
Yeni imamın konumu ve yetkisi, sadece Avrupa'da değil, Türkiye'de de
değişmiş durumdadır. Avrupa'da bir imamdan beklenenler, mesela, Ankara'daki
bir imamdan beklenenlerden fazladır; Avrupa'daki bir cami önce bir Türk
mahallesidir, ondan sonra dini bir mekandır ve imam da bu alanın merkezi
şahsiyetidir.
