Donald Wiebe claims that theIAHRleadership (already before an Extended Executive Committee (EEC) meeting in Delphi) had decided to water down the academic standards of theIAHRwith a proposal to change its name to “International Association for the Study of Religions.” His criticism, we argue, is based on a series of misunderstandings as regards: 1) the difference between the consultative body (EEC) and the decision-making body (EC), 2) the difference between the preliminary points of view of individuals and final proposals by theEC, 3) personal conversations, 4) the link between the proposal to change the name and the wish to tighten up the academic profile of theIAHR. Moreover, if the final decision-making bodies, the International Committee and the General Assembly, adopt the proposal, the new name as little as the old can make theIAHRmore or less scientific. Tightening up the academic, scientific profile of theIAHRtakes more than a change of name.
