Religion and Pandemic
In this Introduction, the guest editors discuss the main themes of this special issue and relate them to the growing field of research on how the extraordinary social conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic affected the practices of religious individuals, groups, and institutions. As we suggest here, the pandemic revealed and catalysed important trends within religious traditions and also exacerbated the issues of specific religious identities as con…
The Making of the New Martyrs of Russia. Soviet Repression in Orthodox Memory
Veneration of saints is one of the fundamentals of Christianity. Going back to the first martyrs who followed Christ, the cult of saints flourished in the Middle Ages and was then rejected by Prote
Faith and fatigue in the Extreme Way of the Cross in Poland
In this article, I examine a new religious initiative of the Roman Catholic Church in Poland called the Extreme Way of the Cross (EWC, Ekstremalna Droga Krzyżowa). Proclaimed as a ‘new form of spirituality’, the EWC has rapidly become a nation-wide phenomenon, with more than 450 routes and 52,000 registered participants in 2017. I start with a description of the history, organisational features and main principles of the EWC, followed by the soci…

As I discuss it, this trend reinvigorates, but al…

The Church In-Between
It’s Time to Quit with Religion of Small Comforts
Catholics in the Holy Spirit
Pentecostal-Charismatic Christianity is without doubt one of the most dynamic and culturally significant contemporary religious phenomena. Not only is it the fastest-growing religious movement worldwide, but it has also permeated into the largest Christian tradition, Roman Catholicism, becoming a hallmark of what is known as the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR). In this article I discuss various aspects of CCR within the Catholic Church in Pola…
