Public Health as a Common Good
This article reports that institutional religious voices in Canada, Germany, Ireland/Northern Ireland, and Poland conceived of public health as a common good during the COVID -19 pandemic, offering almost unqualified support and advocacy for vaccination. Discourses of the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church and the Anthroposophical Society in Germany differed from this norm. In these contexts, Christian institutions’ use of secular/scientific ju…
Researching Religions in Societies Emerging from Covid-19
This is an introduction to a special issue on researching religions in societies emerging from COVID -19, namely the Global North contexts of Canada, Germany, Ireland/Northern Ireland, and Poland. It outlines the project’s research questions and core areas of investigation: (1) discourses around health, illness, and science; (2) relationships with governments and policymakers; and (3) digital innovations. It justifies the methods, including analy…
Catholicism at a Crossroads
Ireland Is Post-Catholic, But Religion Still Matters
While the Irish religious landscape is “post-Catholic,” religion still matters on both sides of the border. Declining religious influence is explained through the lens of the church abuse crisis, while also considering factors like economic growth, increased religious pluralism, societal liberalization, and the end of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. The latter remains less secularized than the Republic of Ireland, as confirmed by higher levels …
The Last Bastion of Evangelicalism in Europe?’ Evangelicalism and Religiosity in Northern Ireland
This article explores whether or to what extent Northen Ireland—long-noted for its unusually high levels of religiosity—remains, as the late preacher-politician Rev Ian Paisley (d. 2014) described it: the last bastion of evangelicalism in Europe. It presents the results of two major polls conducted in 2023, which together provide the most comprehensive picture of religion in Northern Ireland in two decades. The polls were a representative survey …
Religion on the island of Ireland during the Covid-19 pandemic
This article examines how religious institutions and religious media on the island of Ireland framed religion's place in the public sphere during Covid-19. Through qualitative analysis of Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, and Humanist organisations' public documents and religious media, it finds religious institutions supported government restrictions and adopted secular reasoning to justify their actions. The major churches also avoided claiming spe…
Clergy as First Responders
Drawing on research about Presbyterian experiences of Northern Ireland’s Troubles, we argue that the religion and peacebuilding literature’s emphasis on prophetic leadership has meant that the field has overlooked the significance of the roles of clergy as “first responders” to violence and as providers of long-term pastoral care. These roles can be conceptualized as contributing, albeit indirectly, to everyday peacebuilding by facilitating (in s…
Highly religious young Catholics in Northern Ireland
This article explores findings from a 2022 survey of students associated with the Catholic Chaplaincy at Queen's University, Belfast. It is the first study to investigate the beliefs, practices, and experiences of highly religious young Catholics in Northern Ireland. It presents survey findings on beliefs, practices, and influences on faith; dynamics of increased religiosity; and views on Church teachings on same sex relationships, euthanasia, se…
Presbyterians, Forgiveness, and Dealing with the Past in Northern Ireland
The transformative potential of forgiveness has been lauded in theory but its outworking on the ground has proved more challenging. Drawing on a study with 122 Presbyterians in post-violence Northern Ireland, this article returns to debates on forgiveness. We propose a modest role for religious discourses on forgiveness, situated within a wider process of political forgiveness. We advance 'gracious remembering' as a contextual, faith-based, trans…
Pope Francis versus Mary McAleese and Marie Collins
This article analyses Pope Francis’s visit to Ireland in 2018, arguing that the way the Pope was portrayed in the media and received by the public confirms that clerical child sexual abuse scandals continue to be a significant contributing factor to the decline of the Catholic Church. This conclusion is reflected in the narrative analysis of the way the Irish Times covered Francis’s visit. It reveals that abuse was the most pervasive theme in its…

Online Opportunities in Secularizing Societies? Clergy and the Covid-19 Pandemic in Ireland
This article explores how Christian clergy in Ireland have framed their adoption of online ministries during the COVID-19 pandemic as opportunities for the churches to retain some significance, even in secularizing societies. It is based on an island-wide survey of 439 faith leaders and 32 in-depth, follow-up interviews. The results of this study are analysed in light of scholarship in three areas: (1) secularization in Ireland, informed by Norri…
Clerical modernisers and the media in Ireland
This article analyses the journalism of Fr Gerry Reynolds in the context of modernisation in Ireland. Identifying Reynolds as a ‘clerical moderniser,’ it describes two periods in which he devoted a substantial amount of time to journalism: 1962–1975, when he worked for Redemptorist Publications and the Catholic Communications Institute; and 1987–1989, when he wrote a column for Northern Ireland’s Irish News. In both periods, Reynolds emphasised V…
Religious practice in a post-Catholic Ireland
This article develops the concept of ‘extra-institutional religion’ to describe how some religiously committed individuals practise religion in a ‘post-Catholic’ Ireland. Rooted in an island-wide study, it describes extra-institutional religion as the practice of religion outside or in addition to the Catholic Church, Ireland’s historically dominant religious institution. As a new concept, extra-institutional religion provides an alternative to t…
Ex-combatants and post-liberal peacebuilding in Northern Ireland
This article analyses a programme in which an alliance of ex-combatants from the British Army, and loyalist and republican ex-prisoner backgrounds, engaged with young people about cultures of militarism in Northern Ireland. It argues that the alliance’s focus on cultures of militarism sets it apart from other ex-combatant groups; in particular its critique of state militarism alongside paramilitarism makes it a rare example of Richard Jackson’s ‘…
The Strengths and Limitations of the Inclusion of Religious Actors in Peace Processes in Northern Ireland and Bosnia and Herzegovina
This article uses a comparative approach to analyze the strengths and limitations of the inclusion of religious actors in peace and transition processes. It compares the theoretical frameworks of Bercovitch and Kadayifci-Orellana, and Brewer, demonstrating how the first helps us understand the strengths of religious actors, while the second sheds more light on their limitations. An analysis of the involvement of religious actors in the peace proc…
The social dynamics of religion in the public domain
Sociological analysis of religion should take into account that the secular understanding of religion is a specific worldview; it also has to consider that the boundaries between secular and religious motives are not clear-cut and that both realms are not as incompatible as differentiation theory supposes. Following among others Shmuel Eisenstadt (2000) we argue that the relation between religion and (secular) politics is characterized by manifol…
From Monopoly to Market
This chapter explores how the religious landscape of the island of Ireland changed from one of monopoly Catholicism to a mixed, post-Catholic religious market. It explores differences and commonalities north and south, particularly after partition in 1921, and discusses how the Catholic Church’s monopoly was displaced, emphasizing the role of media and television, the changing role of women in society, changes within Catholicism itself (especiall…
A charismatic church in a post-Catholic Ireland
This article analyses Abundant Life Christian Church in Limerick City, a multi-ethnic, Pentecostal/charismatic congregation in the Assemblies of God denomination. It provides insights about how religious groups are negotiating immigration and ethnic diversity and how charismatic expressions of Christianity are engaging in Ireland's post-Catholic public sphere. The study revealed remarkably harmonious relationships between native Irish and immigra…
Transforming Post-Catholic Ireland
Transforming Post-Catholic Ireland is the first major book to explore the dynamic religious landscape of contemporary Ireland, north and south, and to analyse the island's religious transition. It confirms that the Catholic Church's long-standing 'monopoly' has well and truly disintegrated, replaced by a mixed, post-Catholic religious 'market' featuring new and growing expressions of Protestantism, as well as other religions. It describes how peo…
N orthern I reland
Northern Ireland has been considered a conflict‐resolution success story. The 1998 Belfast/Good Friday Agreement provided a framework for managing a long‐standing ethnonational conflict, and has ushered in relative political stability. The consociational features of the Northern Ireland Assembly can be seen either as necessary for managing conflict or as institutionalizing sectarianism so that politics along left–right lines cannot emerge. Althou…
The Deconstructed Church
The Emerging Church Movement (ECM) is a creative, entrepreneurial, religious movement that strives to achieve social legitimacy and spiritual vitality by actively disassociating from its roots in conservative, evangelical Christianity and “deconstructing” contemporary expressions of Christianity. Emerging Christians see themselves as overturning outdated interpretations of the bible, transforming hierarchical religious institutions, and reorienta…

Is the Multiracial Congregation an Answer to the Problem of Race? Comparative Perspectives from South Africa and the USA
This paper uses a comparative perspective to analyze how multiracial congregations may contribute to racial reconciliation in South Africa. Drawing on the large-scale study of multiracial congregations in the USA by Emerson et al., it examines how they help transform antagonistic identities and make religious contributions to wider reconciliation processes. It compares the American research to an ethnographic study of a congregation in Cape Town,…
Emerging from the evangelical subculture in Northern Ireland
This research uses an ethnographic approach to explore how the Zero28 and ikon community has emerged from the evangelical subculture in Northern Ireland. It links its emergence to disillusionment with the perceived shortcomings of evangelicalism, including its contribution to the Northern Ireland conflict, its focus on personal morality rather than social justice, and its failure to engage with post-modernity. It demonstrates how the community ha…
Turning the Categories Inside-Out
This paper challenges the fixed boundaries that ethnographers have often constructed between religious insiders and outsiders. Drawing on Neitz's observations, it argues that the main task of reflexive fieldwork is locating the self in relation to ambiguous and shifting boundaries. We offer a comparative analysis of the experiences of two differently socially located researchers to illustrate how religious identity emerges as a continuum, on whic…

Battling in Brussels
Although the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) does not conform to the model of Europeanization outlined by Ladrech (2002 Ladrech, R. 2002. Europeanization and political parties: towards a framework for analysis. Party Politics, 8(4): 389–403.

Religion, Pragmatic Fundamentalism and the Transformation of the Northern Ireland Conflict
Since 11 September 2001, the religious dimension of conflict has been the focus of increasing attention. In The Clash of Civilizations, Huntington has identified the West in religious-cultural terms, as Christian with a dominant democratic culture emphasizing tolerance, moderation and consensus. The persistence of conflict in Northern Ireland among `White' Protestant and Catholic Christians undermines this simplistic argument and demands a more s…
Race, Religion and Identity in South Africa
This article uses a case study of a Pentecostal/charismatic congregation to explore how inclusive, overarching identities are constructed in South Africa. It explores how the congregation's “culture” impacts on identity formation, contestation and change. It argues that the way people construct their identities correlates with their perceived level of empowerment. It concludes that for an overarching identity to become durable, it must be accompa…

Ethnoreligious Change in Northern Ireland and Zimbabwe
This study compares the internal dynamics of religious change in the ‘post-evangelical’ Ikon community in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and a charismatic, multiethnic congregation in Harare, Zimbabwe. Although the theological ideas behind Ikon and the congregation vary widely, the processes whereby both groups manage change are broadly similar and have wider theoretical significance. Accordingly, this article analyses how people use the religious re…

Spiritual capital and democratization in Zimbabwe
Throughout Africa, charismatic Christianity has been caricatured as an inhibitor of democratization. Its adherents are said either to withdraw from the rough and tumble of politics ('pietism') or to preach a prosperity gospel that encourages believers to pour their resources into their churches in the hope that God will 'bless' them. Both courses of action are said to encourage such people to be politically quietist, with no interest in democrati…
DUP Discourses on Violence and their Impact on the Northern Ireland Peace Process

Religion and transformation in South Africa? Institutional and discursive change in a charismatic congregation
A number of Christian churches in South Africa have proclaimed their commitment to reconciliation and the elimination of unjust inequalities. This study analyses how these commitments are being worked out at the micro-level of a congregation. Using an ethnographic approach, I explore how a charismatic congregation in Cape Town has changed from being nearly all-white to being more inclusive. I explore links between individual, cognitive identity c…
Evangelicals and the Reframing of Political Projects
I n Northern Ireland, evangelicals have been active in forming special interest organizations devoted to specific goals. However, recent social and political changes have created dissonances between the goals and discourses that were once important to evangelicals and the acceptance of those goals and discourses in the public sphere. Evangelical organizations have responded by changing their goals and reframing their sociopolitical projects. Focu…
Civil Society, Religion, and Conflict in Northern Ireland
T his chapter develops conceptual tools for understanding religion and conflict in divided societies. This provides a template for understanding processes of change in Northern Ireland, and for drawing wider, general conclusions about other conflicts with religious dimensions. All too often, theoretical approaches to civil society have reduced it to “associational life” or assumed that it unproblematically produces good citizens or social capital…
Conclusions
The orthodox interpretation of Northern Irish evangelicalism equates Paisleyism with evangelicalism. Rev. Ian Paisley’s critics keep a running tally of his “sins,” which range from blanket accusations that he was responsible for starting the Troubles, that he has used religious rhetoric to incite loyalist paramilitaries to violence, and that he leads a political party that refuses to share power with Catholics.1 All evangelicals have been judged …
Religion in Transition—Comparative Perspectives
T his chapter explores the role of evangelicalism in Northern Ireland over time and from comparative perspectives. In the first part of the chapter, concepts about the role of religion outlined in chapter 2 provide a framework for understanding developments and change, including the relationship between evangelicalism and power, evangelical responses to changing social and political structures, and the content of evangelical beliefs. These concep…
Evangelical Congregations and Identity Change
I n Northern Ireland, evangelicals within congregations have been forced to respond to widespread social and political changes, and this has contributed to changes in the content of evangelical identities. Focusing on the way people frame their identities avoids too immediate analysis of reactions to specific policies and gets at underlying trends. As Todd (2005) has argued, it allows for analysis of how changing identities impact wider social an…

Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity in South Africa and Zimbabwe
Pentecostal/charismatic Christianity is the fastest‐growing religion in southern Africa. This article explores its social and political roles, drawing primarily on examples from South Africa and Zimbabwe to illuminate wider trends across the continent.
