Harmony Amidst Discord
This paper explores the complex dynamics between religion-based solidarity initiatives (RSIs) and local governments, focusing on government funding. RSIs, driven by religious values, support vulnerable groups but often face tension with secular, bureaucratic expectations. Using an institutional logics framework, the study identifies sources of tension and examines how RSIs in Antwerp and Louvain, Belgium, navigate these challenges. Our findings s…
Faith Based Organizations
In this paper, we present the results of our scoping review on the literature (2010–2021) on faith-based organizations (FBOs) active in the field of poverty alleviation. We focus on the different typologies that are used to study FBOs. Because not all articles use an existing typology or develop a new one, we also collected and studied the variables that are used in the articles to distinguish different types of FBOs. Our research shows that the …

A temporary farewell. Practices of Muslim women regarding mourning and remembrance
The aim of this study is fourfold. First, we seek to elicit the practices of middle-aged and elderly Moroccan Muslim women regarding mourning and remembrance. Second, we aim to find out whether differences are observable between middle-aged and elderly women’s practices. Third, we seek to explore the role of religion in these practices. Fourth, we aim to document how the actual practices of our participants relate to normative Islamic literature.…

Muslim burial practices and Belgian legislation and regulations
Belgian burial regulations are challenged by a growing Muslim population. In this review, we first provide an overview of Muslim burial practices. Second, we describe how Belgian public policies have addressed the topic of Islamic burial. Third, we compare Belgian burial regulations and their impact on Islamic burial with those of the neighbouring countries. Literature published between 1997 and 2016 has been included. Repatriation to the country…
Purification of Body and Soul for the Next Journey. Practices Surrounding Death and Dying Among Muslim Women

Qualitative empirical research was conducted with 30 middle-aged and elderly Moroccan Muslim women living in Antwerp (Belgium) and with 15 experts in the field. Our study shows that religious beliefs and worldview have a great impa…
The Diverse Influence of Religion and World View on Palliative-Care Nurses’ Attitudes towards Euthanasia
Studies assessing the influence of religion and world view on palliative-care nurses’ attitudes towards euthanasia, have reached diverging conclusions. We decided to use data from a qualitative study undertaken among palliative-care nurses in Flanders (Belgium) in 2006 to reassess the influence of religion and world view on palliative-care nurses’ attitudes towards euthanasia. A highly significant association was observed between religious or ide…
‘There is a Time to be Born and a Time to Die’ (Ecclesiastes 3
Reviewing the publications of prominent American rabbis who have (extensively) published on Jewish biomedical ethics, this article highlights Orthodox, Conservative and Reform opinions on a most pressing contemporary bioethical issue: euthanasia. Reviewing their opinions against the background of the halachic character of Jewish (biomedical) ethics, this article shows how from one traditional Jewish textual source diverse, even contradictory, opi…
American Jewish approaches to contemporary ethical issues in medicine
World wide, hospitals have to deal with a considerable shortage of organs for transplantation. Since the brain death criteria were issued by the Harvard Medical School in 1968, most organs are retrieved from heart-beating brain-dead donors. Judaism stresses the huge value of human life, as human beings are created in God's image, and the commandment is to save and preserve life. There is, however, considerable debate in Judaism on the acceptabili…
We are (not) the master of our body’
Our study reveals an interplay between ethical attitudes on euthanasia and religious convictions. The image one has of a transcendental reality, or of God, has a stronger effect on one's (dis)approval of euthanasia than being (ir)religious
Relieving suffering at the end of life
