Arcybiskup gnieźnieński, Jarosław Bogoria Skotnicki, w 1366 r. erygował tu parafię. Parafia pod wezwaniem Matki Boskiej i Świętego Michała Archanioła została powołana do życia przy drewnianym kościele, który wzniesiono prawdopodobnie już w 1356 r. Fundatorami tego dzieła byli właściciele osady, protoplaści rodu Łaskich, pieczętujący się herbem Korab. Oni też wystarali się u króla Władysława Jagiełły w 1422 r. o nadanie osadzie praw miejskich. W celu gospodarczego ożywienia miasta Aleksander Jagiellończyk w 1504 r. nadał Łaskowi wiele przywilejów, którymi cieszyły się miasta królewskie.

Mnogo godina prije velike reformacije koju je 1517. godine pokrenuo njemački svećenik Martin Luther, u Europi su se pojavljivala nastojanja i pokreti koji su imali za cilj Crkvu reformirati i pročistiti. Razlog takvim nastojanjima bili su istinski problemi koji su najčešće mučili vjernike na marginama društva. Svi ti pokreti i pojedinci imali su jedan zajednički cilj: pokušati unijeti duhovne i strukturalne promjene u Crkvu. Nažalost mnogi od njih su prenaglili i završili u herezi i apostaziji. Ono pozitivno što se mora priznati svim pokretima koji su prethodili reformaciji jest zanimanje za Sveto pismo i poruku koju je čovječanstvu donio Isus Krist.

The article presents a report on the relations between the three main religious groups of Gdańsk: Lutherans, Catholics and Calvinists in the period of the first three centuries after the proclamation of Martin Luther’s theses in Wittenberg (1517). The report includesthe periods of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (until 1793), Napoleonic epoch (1807-1814) and first years of the Prussian partition (until 1817). At that time the Lutherans were the dominant religious group in Gdańsk, but they failed to take the total control of the city. The Catholics lost their precedence soon after the Reformation, but they increased their number until the beginning of the 19th century and strengthened social and cultural influences at that time. The Calvinists were the biggest losers in that confrontation, because they didnot manage to dominate the city (at the turn of 16th and 17th centuries), lost believers and finally were subordinated to the Lutherans within the Evangelical Union (1817). The religions under discussion sometimes formed alliances, but it was not always the alliance between both groups of Protestants. Especially during the expansion of Calvinism in the city, the Lutherans looked for help from the Catholics and sometimes the latter provided them a real support.

Old Catholicism is the movement resulting from reformatory processes which took place in the framework of Catholic Church in Croatia in 1920’s. Only few researchers have so far dealt whith the causes, phenomenon and activities of movement and they were mostly historians, sociologists or theologists. However, the basic objective of the author’s ethnological research is to record and to describe the development of Old Catholic Church, taking as an example the village of Šaptinovci because it is the only still existing Old Catholic Church country parish in Croatia. The ways in which Old Catholicizm has reflected and influencedevery day life in the village are also analyzed.

Based on the published canonical visitations and available literature, the author analyzes the church organization and religious practices in Valpovo and the surrounding area, that is, in the area of parishes that were present there from the first half of the 16th century to the mid-18th century. It is both an analysis of the relationship of the church and civil authorities toward the centers and other parts of the parishes, but also of people’s reactions which sometimes occurred as a cause, and sometimes as a consequence to the mentioned authorities and their relationship. As a result of all this, for the entire examined period, there are differences between the set religious expressions and the lived religion that becomes imbued with elements of syncretism.

The purpose of the article is to study the degree of research of Orthodox temple architectural complexes on the territory of the modern Lugansk region. The methodology is based on a comparative-analytical approach using the method of systematisation. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that an analysis of the modern scientific literature on the Orthodox churches in Lugansk region was carried out for the first time. Is showed that the available few editions do not allow us to draw a complete picture of the Orthodox church building development in the Lugansk region, of its connection with the regional culture, about artistic and stylistic preferences in the cult architecture and its figurative and aesthetic aspects. Conclusions: it has been established that publications of catalogue type prevail on this topic, which indicates the primary stage of identification and accumulation of material, at the stage of which the process of investigating the temples of Lugansk region is located. Some publications contain erroneous data, which is quite understandable by the disparity of the empirical material and its insufficient research. If, in spite of the fragmentation and disunity of the material in general, the history of some temples of the region is still fixed in scientific publications, reference books, periodicals, but the architectural and stylistic aspect of the Luhansk region temples has practically remained beyond the scope of scientific interest. To preserve the national cultural heritage, historical and cultural studies and art history studies of the Orthodox religious architecture of the Lugansk region are necessary for the entire period of its existence.

The purpose of the article is to determine the process of transformation of the medieval iconostasis with wall-to-wall horizontal beams as main structural/supporting elements to the new type – iconostasis as an architectural frame – which it becomes on the border of the 16–17th century. The research methodology is based on the iconological and comparative methods, which allow identifying the rules of construction, combinations, and relationships between the structural elements of the architectural frame of the XVII century Ukrainian iconostasis, to determine the ideological sources of the formation of such model of the iconostasis and disclose its meanings. The scientific novelty of the work is connected with the expansion of knowledge about the development of the Ukrainian iconostasis. Among the main sources that influenced the formation of the new image of the Ukrainian iconostasis were the Greek tradition of organizing sanctuary barriers and the Latin tradition of framing a religious image. Creating a new concept of the Ukrainian iconostasis at the junction of two traditions was a reaction to the social and political context of the period, which appeared in the Western European art of the Renaissance. Conclusions. Creating a new concept of the Ukrainian iconostasis at the junction of two traditions was a reaction to the social and political context of the period. The introduction to the Ukrainian iconostasis of the frames and its transformation at the beginning of the 17th century in an architectural frame gives the basis to consider this transformation as an ideological project. The new design of the Ukrainian iconostasis, due to the introduction of the blind arcade in the upper tier and the abundant decoration of all surfaces, referred to a similar device of the iconoscopes of the Balkans, and especially the iconostases of Athos. Under the conditions of the establishment of the Greek Catholic Church, such iconostasis construction was a visual marker of the confessional identity of an Orthodox Ukrainian church. At the same time, one of the goals of simultaneously increasing the spatial depth of the iconostasis could be the desire to strengthen the emotional impression of its new architectural image. The use of monumental volumetric structures to influence the consciousness of believers is a technique widely used by the Catholic the art of the time.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the transformation of the golden background semantics in Ukrainian sacral mural paintings in the 1850–1900s a case study of Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra‘s cathedrals, Kyiv St. Sophia Cathedral, Kyiv St. Volodymyr‘s Cathedral. Methodology is based on the comparative and iconological methods, art study analysis, including iconographic one to study painting decoration cathedrals and the development of the golden color module semantics. The scientific novelty of the work is to discover the transformation of the Byzantine semantics of the golden background in Ukrainian sacral murals of the second part of the 19th – early 20th century. The cathedral in there was a return to the golden color module in the direction of Byzantine aesthetics has been determined. According to the archival documents the transformation of iconography and the ideological content of the murals after the use of the golden background have been observed. The analysis of the murals of the famous Kyiv Orthodox cathedrals in the aspect of the features of the golden background semantics and the correlation of symbolic and decorative functions is carried out. Conclusions. The semantics golden background in Ukrainian sacral mural paintings has changed in the 1850–the 1900s. The return to the Byzantine tradition of the golden background for the creation Divine world image in the temple space was held at Kyiv St. Sophia Cathedral, when in the main part murals the golden color module was used as the basis. The same combination of symbolic and decorative functions of golden light was inherent to the decoration of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra‘s Dormition Cathedral. The symbolism of gold is inferior to the balance of the general composition in Kyiv St. Volodymyr‘s Cathedral. The decorative function submits symbolic one in the Lavra‘s Sts. Anthony and Theodosius church with the Refectory.

At the beginning of the 16th century the Diocese of Transylvania, which was over 60,000 square meters, had an extensive ecclesiastical infrastructure. Under the bishop‘s leadership, a 24-member cathedral chapter led the 600 parishes in the thirteen main districts. More than 1,000 monks lived in over fifty monasteries. This seemingly powerful community has practically ceased to exist within the short 25 to 30 years due to the desire for spiritual renewal and social policy. Without its bishopric and chapter leader, there was only one monastery and about thirty parishes. It was saved from the total destruction by the incredibly coherent and persistent work of the Jesuits, and by the counter-reformation that strengthened with the help of the Habsburgs, and by - most of all - the few faithful Catholics and their self-organizing activities. Thus, the Catholic autonomy was strengthened by the hierarchically organized Catholic Church that secular believers gained a status that is unique throughout the world. The purpose of my paper is to present that age and the birth of Catholic Status, also known as Catholic autonomy.

Kryzys ekologiczny jest przedmiotem troski wszystkich Kościołów chrześcijańskich. Autor omawia wspólne wątki dotyczące klimatu, jakie obecne są w wypowiedziach przywódców religijnych: odpowiedzialność człowieka za degradację środowiska, wezwanie do przeciwstawienia się kulturze chciwości, budowanie sprawiedliwości ekologicznej. Autor przedstawia społeczne skutki kryzysu klimatycznego – nierówności społeczne i ubóstwo oraz omawia nowe formy ekumenizmu praktykowane w społeczeństwie ryzyka. Nowy ekumenizm to nie ruch intelektualny czy dyskusje teologiczne, ale przede wszystkim wspólna praca Kościołów na rzecz ubogich.

Choroba w życiu każdego człowieka rodzi wiele pytań natury egzystencjalnej, stąd jest to także istotny problem teologiczny. Ze względu na uniwersalność doświadczenia choroby wydaje się konieczną próba ukazania tego zagadnienia także w perspektywie ekumenicznej. Temat opracowano w trzech zasadniczych częściach. Część pierwsza, jako wprowadzająca w problematykę, zajmuje się zdefiniowaniem pojęcia choroby oraz poszukiwaniem płaszczyzny dialogu w tej kwestii między nowoczesną medycyną a współczesną teologią. Następnie autor przechodzi do prezentacji problemu w sferze ściśle ekumenicznej, gdzie nakreśla w dwóch częściach współczesne ujęcia zagadnienia choroby reprezentatywne kolejno dla teologii prawosławnej oraz protestanckiej. Stanowisko teologii prawosławnej przedstawione zostało w oparciu o prace J.-C. Larcheta i uzupełnione o poglądy J. Zizioulasa. Natomiast protestancką teologię choroby zaprezentowano w ujęciu K. Bartha. Każda z tych tradycji chrześcijańskich ma tu swoją wyraźną specyfikę, ale wspólnym elementem, choć z różną intensywnością, jest podejście personalistyczne, które potencjalnie wydaje się być tu szczególnie cenne dla dialogu teologii z nowoczesną medycyną.
