Social capital and religious and civic participation in Riga, Latvia: findings from the 2014 social survey

2016

ABSTRACTThe article discusses the link between religious and civic participation in Riga based on the data obtained from a social survey in 2014.

Although the survey data indicate a weak correlation between civic and religious activities, relig…

Routes and relations in Scandinavian interfaith forums: Governance of religious diversity by states and majority churches

2018

Based on country-level studies of po…

Interfaith Dialogue in Christian Norway: Enactment of Inclusive Religiosity as Civilized Behavior

Analyzing the meetings as organized cultural encounters, the study explores the transformative aspects of the events and it points to how the enactment of civilized forms of cross-cultural religiosity created within and by these public interfaith meetings is interlinked…
