Po odzyskaniu przez Polskę niepodległości w granicach nowego państwa znalazły się cztery gminy karaimskie. Ich sytuacja prawna nie była uregulowana. Potrzebę zmiany widziały zarówno władze państwowe jak i Karaimi. W 1923 roku w Wilnie społeczność karaimska rozpoczęła pracę nad przygotowaniem odpowiednich aktów prawnych. W roku 1927 miał miejsce ogólnopolski zjazd Karaimów, który na urząd hachana wybrał Hadżi Seraja Szapszała. W porozumieniu z Szapszałem w 1931 roku władze państwowe rozpoczęły prace nad projektem ustawy. Ostatecznie Ustawa o stosunku państwa do Karaimskiego Związku Religijnego w RP została uchwalona 21 kwietnia 1936 roku. Ustawa określiła prawne ramy funkcjonowania religii karaimskiej w Polsce, sposób wyboru duchownych, organy związ-ku i gmin oraz uprawnienia nadzorcze władz państwowych. Została pozytywnie odebrana przez większość Karaimów, przez których była uważana za szansę na przetrwanie własnej społeczności.

Four communes with Karaite communities were located within the borders of newly independent Poland in 1918. Their legal status was unregulated. Both the Government and members of this ethnic group saw the need to formalize their position. Thus it was that in 1923 the Karaites began work on drafting the relevant legislation. In 1927 the new leader of the community (called hachan) was elected and in 1931 with his help the Government finely started work on an appropriate statute, enacted on 21st April, 1936, which established the legal foundations of the Karaite religion in Poland. The most important regulations concerned the elections of priests, organs of the Karaites Union and its communes and the Government’s rights of control over those organs. The statute was accepted by most members of this ethnic group. It was viewed as a tool to help such a small community survive.

The author makes an attempt to predict the future development of Catholicism in Kazakhstan. Nowadays the number of Catholics in Kazakhstan is almost 190,000, and they constitute a religious minority. The paper is based on archival records, personal recollections as well as author’s personal experience.

The article is dedicated to the Muslims in Poland, with a special focus on their institutional representation. This religious minority encircles a diverse populace in terms of the path in Islam they adhere to, ethnicity, country of origin, but also the legal status they have in Poland. It includes Muslim Tatars, former students from Arab countries who have been living in this country for decades, as well as transient groups war refugees from Chechnya, Afghanistan or the Balkans, esp. Bosnia and Herzegovina. The author argues that institutionalized entities of religious character which associate Muslims in the country, organize their presence in religious terms and represent them, reflect major divisions within the Muslim populace in the country. A key factor is the duration of their settlement – it is concomitant to, if not more important than, tensions between the Sunnis and Shiites.

The following paper addresses the history of the Protestant minority residing in the city of Pabianice. One of the most significant religious minorities in the region, Protestants settled in Pabianice as early as in 19th century, with the settlement being strongly influenced by the development of the textile industry. From the very beginning, their presence was marked by an active participation in the community life, participation which included both financial support and voluntary work for the common good. The Protestant parish in Pabianice boasts a fine collection of priceless relics, including, to mention but a few, the parish church, cemetery and the Kindlers' burial chapel. Supervised by the regional art conservator, these sights form a major contribution to the city's rich history. The Protestant community itself may be credited with setting up a number of cultural and educational projects, including art exhibitions and concerts. Despite the small size of the congregation, the parish remains active in terms of both religious and social life, providing ample opportunity for social interaction as well as religious instruction for the youngest of its members. The peaceful coexistence of Protestants and Catholics, as well as many other minorities residing in Pabianice, resulted in numerous initiatives which brought benefit to all parties concerned. Some of these, however, ended abruptly during World War II. The postwar era was marked by suspicion and mistrust which chased many of the Protestants away. Out of several thousand believers before World War II, there are now only a few hundred left. Hindered by stereotypes, the cooperation between Protestants and Catholics is often restricted to ecumenical worship. With the Protestant community declining, there needs to be closer cooperation between the parishes and the city council in order to preserve the common heritage

The purpose of the article is to analyze the socio-religious role of the Lutherans parishes in the history of urban agglomeration in Lodz. To illustrate this activity it's also important to present the relicts of the material heritage of this denomination, which can be observed in the urban space of these cities. Considerations in this article, are related to deliberately selected two cities: Pabianice and Zgierz, where the Lutheran church (in the form of the parish), for many years has shaped the socio-religious face of these urban centers. The considerations contained in this paper were based on the source material contained in the literature, as well as other papers open for general use like parish brochures and online resources.

Głównym celem artykułu jest analiza społeczno-religijnej roli, jaką odegrały parafie ewangelicko-augsburskie w dziejach miast aglomeracji łódzkiej. Dla lepszego zilustrowania wspomnianej aktywności zasadne pozostaje także wskazanie reliktów dziedzictwa materialnego tej denominacji, jakie można zaobserwować w przestrzeni tych miast.W niniejszym artykule rozważania podjęto nad dwoma wybranymi ośrodkami miejskimi: Pabianicami oraz Zgierzem, w których kościół luterański w postaci parafii od wielu lat kształtuje oblicze społeczno-religijne tych ośrodków miejskich. Rozważania zawarte w treści artykułu oparte zostały w pewnej części na materiale źródłowym zawartym w literaturze, jak również innych ogólnodostępnych opracowaniach: broszurach parafialnych czy zasobach internetowych.

Staroobrzędowcy, którzy przybywali na ziemie polskie już od II poł. XVII w., stanowili mniejszość etniczną, wyznaniową, kulturową i językową. Do II wojny światowej żyli w hermetycznych grupach, celowo izolując się od polskiego otoczenia. Mieszkali oni w homogenicznych wspólnotach wiejskich, dzięki czemu udało im się zachować własną wiarę, kulturę i język. Później jednak stopniowo zaczęli otwierać się na świat zewnętrzny. Wraz ze zmianami cywilizacyjnymi, społecznymi i demograficznymi stopniowym zmianom ulegał tryb życia starowierców, ich kultura, stosunek do religii, do swojej grupy, jej wartości, jak również stosunek do własnej odrębności. W swoich wypowiedziach starowiercy regionu suwalsko-augustowskiego (przede wszystkim przedstawiciele starszego pokolenia) często porównują przeszłość z teraźniejszością, mówiąc o zmianach, jakie się dokonały w ich życiu codziennym, światopoglądzie, systemie wartości i stosunku do własnej odrębności. W analizowanych wypowiedziach można zaobserwować pozytywne wartościowanie przeszłości, negatywną ocenę teraźniejszego stanu rzeczy oraz obawę o przyszłość wspólnoty czy wręcz przekonanie o jej schyłku.

The Russian Orthodox Old Believers who now live in the Suwałki–Augustów region are descendants of Russians who refused to adopt the mid-17th century church reforms as promoted by Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov and implemented by Patriarch Nikon of Moscow. Old Believers in Poland are an example of ethnic, religious, cultural and linguistic minority. They lived in homogeneous village communities and they managed to maintain their religion, traditions and language through ages. In the last period one can observe many modifi cations in Old Believers’ way of life, in their culture and traditions. Old Believers’ who live in the Suwałki–Augustów region often compare the present with the past and they tell about changes that have come about in their way of life, their worldview and their attitude to their own uniqueness. They characterise the past positively and describe the present negatively.

National minorities, i.e. Jewish and German, constituting distinct (almost completely – as the followers of Judaism, or largely – as Evangelical Christians) religious groups, had considerable influence not only on the development of Pabianice's economic life, but also on the shaping of the social and cultural space of the city. Initiatives taken by their representatives were directed, on the one hand (and predominantly), to their own national or religious communities, which was mostly characteristic for the Jewish and, to a lesser extent, German minorities and, on the other, to a wider group of residents, which mostly applied to the Evangelicals. The dominant contribution to the development of socio-cultural sphere of the city, especially philanthropy, was made by religious communities. Providing assistance to the poor and needy was regarded a religious duty. The positive public perception was also meant to increase the number of followers in the Evangelical Church. The creators of the social and cultural life of the city also included entrepreneurs belonging to those communities. They contributed to the formation of numerous social (charity organisations, sports clubs) and cultural (musical societies) initiatives not only due to their accumulated wealth, but also due to the need to help others, take on different challenges and keep up the positively perceived image of a benefactor. They included almost all residents of the city interested in such forms of activity or support. The socio-cultural activities of minority communities have left their mark on the city, giving it a form of organisation. It became apparent primarily in the development of different parts of the space by each of the most active communities (Germans and Jews). The German minority, responsible for the creation and development of Pabianice industry, located their social and cultural institutions in the so-called New Town. This part of Pabianice was inhabited and developed “industrial” immigrants, many of whom were of German origin. As a minority not participating in the development of local industry to such an extent, Jews were socially and culturally active in the part of Pabianice known as New Town, especially in the initial phase. It was an area of concentration of both the first Jewish settlers and the later ones, that came during the economic prosperity.

Mniejszości narodowe (głównie żydowska i niemiecka), tożsame na ogół z mniejszościowymi wspólnotami religijnymi, wniosły wymierny wkład w rozwój zarówno gospodarczy, jak i spo- łeczno-kulturalny Pabianic. Głównym celem artykułu jest określenie charakteru i form organizowania w przestrzeni miejskiej aktywności społeczno-kulturalnej przez wymienione grupy.

The main goal of the article is to analyze the role of Lutherans in shaping the cultural landscape of Piotrków Trybunalski. In addition, the elements of the material heritage of this denomination and its significance for the development of tourism in the town were analyzed. These considerations concern the area of Piotrków Trybunalski primarily for historical reasons – the Lutheran parish established in this town at the end of the 18th century and it is one of the oldest Evangelical parishes in the present-day Łódź Province. It is also one of the few urban centers in the voivodeship, which uses the presence and heritage of religious minorities to promote their diversity and cultural richness.

Głównym celem autorki artykułu jest analiza udziału luteranów w kształtowaniu krajobrazu kulturowego Piotrkowa Trybunalskiego. Analizie poddano elementy dziedzictwa materialnego tej denominacji w przestrzeni miasta oraz jego znaczenie dla rozwoju turystyki w mieście. Niniejsze rozważania dotyczą obszaru Piotrkowa Trybunalskiego przede wszystkim ze względów historycznych – parafia luterańska, erygowana w tym mieście pod koniec XVIII w., należy do najstarszych parafii ewangelickich na terenie dzisiejszego województwa łódzkiego. Jest to także jeden z nielicznych w skali województwa ośrodków miejskich, który wykorzystuje obecność i dziedzictwo mniejszości religijnych do promowania swojej różnorodności i bogactwa kulturowego.
