NEW RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS IN THE TIME OF COVID-19: ACTIONS, COUNTERACTIONS, AND CONSEQUENCES
The aim of this discussion is to explore how various religious movements around the world are coping with challenges posed by the pandemic, while practically contributing to the fight against the spread of COVID-19.
Often making headlines only when they create problems, or do not respect the health rules, several new religious movements have in fact offered valuable resources, both practical and spiritual, during the pandemic crisis.
The discussion is initiated on the basis of Rosita’s Šorytė’s recent book We Can Lift This World While Quarantined: Scientology and the 2020 Pandemic (Madrid: FORB Press, 2020).
Panelists:
- Rosita Šorytė (European Federation for Freedom of Belief), author of We Can Lift This World While Quarantined: Scientology and the 2020 Pandemic (Madrid: FORB Press, 2020).
- Massimo Introvigne, sociologist, managing director of CESNUR (Center for Studies of New Religions).
Moderators:
- Rasa Pranskevičiūtė-Amoson (Vilnius University)
- Eglė Aleknaitė (Vytautas Magnus University)
Susitikimo trukmė: iki 2 val.
