The article regards the religious identity of young people in the modern Ukrainian society. The qualitative analysis is based on the written students' autobiographies collected in various regions of the country. As a result of the texts interpretation, there were defined the following three types of religious identity among young people: deep, critical and situative-affiliative. Each of them has its own mixture of subjective and objective factors in construction of religious identity (intentions for choice, critical or uncritical perception of institutional religious behavior, biographical aspects that often push people to become religious).

The question of confessional identity isn't particularly ecumenical. It is popular nowadays to perceive Christianity not as Catholic or Evangelical but just ecumenical. Insisting on confessional identity looks suspicious and slowing down the ecumenical commitment. In today's ecumenical discussion one still pursues working out the common ground. Without a doubt the results are notable. Despite of all convergences, important differences still remain. One can notice certain tendency related to the kind of 'subjectivity' in Protestantism, in Catholic thinking referred to 'objectivity' and 'realism'. It changes in different ways and on different levels. Ecumenical discussion must look for the ground of the differences. This ground consists in existing of numerous concepts and approaches to the Bible and must be grasped not as an opposition but in its complementarities.

For years have historians pointed out the enormous research opportunities posed by the analysis of old-Polish wills. Not only can they be a source of knowledge regarding the law of succession, but also testators’ family life and neighborly relations, so important in small towns or villages. There is also a religious aspect of wills, resulting from the desire to satisfy for the sins committed, visible in the records of pious legacies, submitted to churches and religious brotherhoods. The basis of the source of the paper are the 63 wills preserved in the books of the town of Nowy Sącz, derived from the years 1617-1625. Among them are also those written during the plague prevailing in the city and which were referred to as ‘exceptional’ in the law of succession. The pious legacies left in Nowy Sącz wills mainly refer to local churches and religious brotherhoods. Some testators left cash bequests for church institutions. Others, perhaps less well-off, chose legacies in natural form. People who wrote their wills defined very precisely the purpose for which their money or material gifts were to be given. Most of them wanted to repair or adorn selected places of worship, or purchase liturgical equipment and vestments. The legacies for the poor from the local hospital, present in Nowy Sącz wills seem to be important for the functioning of the small community as well. The pious legacies contained in the wills not only show various aspects of old-Polish piety. They generally indicate the attachment of the faithful to the local church and local religious brotherhoods. This bond seemed to be stronger especially in small towns where the possibility of donating a larger number of ecclesiastical institutions was limited, and where testators’ financial resources were more limited as well.

This paper investigates transnationalism among the Turks as a multifaceted phenomenon that has been engendered by the interconnectivity in the modern world, mass education and the victorious rise of telecommunication technologies, cyberspace media as well as the global transportation systems. With loosening of boundaries between the countries from Germany and the United States as far as Central Asia, the Turks have entered into numerous transnational networks as the important actors. My focus here is on the transnational religious identity of Islam among the Turks, mainly in Germany and Central Asia, that manifests itself through both non-governmental movements and networks (apolitical as well as political, both accommodationist and extremist), and state-based organizations. The identity, that arises out of such a process can be influenced by ethnolinguistic transnationalism, nationalistic transnationalism or political aspirations, too.

This essay argues that Boka Kotorska, Montenegro’s Gulf of Kotor region, can be conceptualised as a political, cultural, and religious border region where ‘East’ and ‘West’, the Orthodox and Catholic worlds, encountered each other and overlapped over a long period of time. There were various political and economic actors involved in this historical process of rivalry and co-existence, including Byzantium, Venice, Serbia, the Ottoman Empire, and Montenegro and its predecessors Duklja and Zeta. The Gulf of Kotor became a region where a large number of Catholic and Italian-influenced settlements sprung up, although the Orthodox population appears to have constituted a majority of the population even in Venetian and Austrian-controlled territory between the Late Middle Ages and the early twentieth century. Patterns of co-existence in the town of Kotor and elsewhere did not prevent the emergence of religious and political conflict on many occasions. But these contradictory aspects of rivalry and co-existence balanced each other during most of the long period that the Gulf of Kotor region had a certain political, economic, and cultural importance. This may contribute to our understanding of the dynamics of larger and smaller European border regions and of European history as a whole. In a micro-region like Boka Kotorska destructive confrontation and constructive interpenetration can be observed as a long-term process.

This article attempts to set up a basic theoretical background for youth ministry practice from the fundamental theological point of view with certain insights from the perspective of religious education. Our theses are based on a fundamental distinction between the human and divine, and additionally placed into the context of contemporary world conditions which are not considered as anything particularly novel or unique. This contention is supported by a parallel between J. A. Comenius and Z. Bauman. The suggestion of a pattern leading towards the reflected religious identity is an outcome of this article. We believe that this proposal might be useful for the broad field of youth ministry research and practice.
