RECIPROCITY BETWEEN RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS OF LITHUANIAN DIASPORA AND RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS IN THE POST-SECULAR ENGLISH SOCIETY

Summary/Abstract: This article investigates the reciprocity between religious movements of Lithuanian diaspora and religious institutions in the post-secular English society. The research focuses on two Christian religious movements of Lithuanian immigrants (The Roman Catholic Church of St. Casimir, Lithuanian Church Parish and the Lithuanian Christian Church) in London, which came to the UK after the accession of the new EU Member States in 2004. This paper has two related tasks: (1) to examine the role of the Roman Catholic Church of St. Casimir and the Lithuanian Christian Church in socialization and global integration processes in the life of Lithuanian diaspora; (2) to describe the perception of religious identity of the new wave Lithuanian diaspora in England. To reach this goal a survey of fifty respondents was undertaken, using stratified random sampling.
