Studying a religious group in a foreign environment: the case of the Muslim community of Baltimore and Maryland (USA) (Part 1)

The article is devoted to the study of the religious community of Muslims in Baltimore and the State of Maryland, one of the largest regions of the United States in terms of the number of Islam followers.

The empirical part of the study, which is the key one, is preceded by its theoretical justification, which is explained not only by the requirements for such articles that have developed in academic science, but also by the need to demonstrate the lack of study and insufficient theoretical basis for the research of modern religious communities in a foreign environment.

Priests at the top of state power: time, place, mission

The article considers examples of the ascetic activities of clergy at the top of state power. A few examples of cardinals Richelieu, Mazarin and the Cypriot president, Archbishop Makarios III, confirm the regularity of the nomination to such posts not only of believers, but of those with church rank. These patterns reflect an aggravated domestic and foreign political situation, the need to establish internal and external peace, for which the state and society from the leader need not only experience and intelligence, but also a willingness to take decisive actions, understood as their own mission.

Key words: religion, power, public service, theocracy, papocaesarism, personality.

Confucianism in the daily life of modern China

Religion is one of the ancient forms of spiritual culture, which in the modern world still has a powerful and significant impact on various spheres of social life, as it did in the early centuries. A striking example of this influence is the introduction of Confucianism as a state ideology, which strengthened the national consciousness of the Chinese civilization. The article is devoted to the influence of Confucianism on the daily life of the modern Chinese.

The authors pays attention to the study of Chinese food culture, modern family ethics and the direction of development of the modern tourism industry in China.

Confucian values today direct the impetuous impulse of innovative technologies in the right direction and clearly, in accordance with moral and ethical social criteria, contribute to the harmonization of the development of modern Chinese society. Confucianism creates a balance between traditional and innovative forces. Thanks to this, the development of modern Chinese society becomes more stable and harmonious. The authors shows that Confucianism plays an important role in the daily life of the modern Chinese people. 

As traditional Chinese philosophy, Confucianism is a «study of life», it is not only a game of the concept, not only scientific research, not only an object of objective knowledge, but also the embodiment of all this in life. Moreover, in modern China, the significance of Confucianism is no longer to serve politics and national governance, but rather to maintain the cultural uniqueness of the Chinese nation and the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese culture.

Key words: Confucianism, etiquette, yin and yang, harmony, filial piety, humanity, Chinese tourism.

Active charity of the Russian Orthodox Church in the context of the HIV / AIDS epidemic

The article examines the need for spiritual care for HIV-infected people in the context of the expanding HIV/AIDS epidemic. It is insisted that when planning care for people infected with HIV, it is necessary to take into account that the patient's condition is influenced not only by medical, but also by social, spiritual and moral aspects and circumstances of life. A special place among them belongs to spiritual experiences of a person, which during a spiritual crisis can cause not only spiritual disasters, but also "rebirth" of a person, as a result of which a person turns to God. The article examines the origins and origin of diseases and their causes in the light of biblical concepts; the teaching about the meaning of suffering and illness as a reason for a person to look closely at their sins and turn to God; the teaching about healing and mercy as a form of direct communication with God and imitation of Him, and, at the same time, as a saving feat of atonement for their sins. The article provides information about the role of the Church as a hospital for human souls.

"Blue gold" of the planet: the water dimension of culture, religion, economy and geopolitics

Coverage of foreign cinema on the pages of the magazine "Soviet Screen" during perestroika

In the mid-1980s, the “new thinking” proclaimed by the initiators of perestroika and the subsequent fall of the “iron curtain” required the magazine "Soviet Screen" to change its approaches to assessing the film process, including the world one. Bourgeois cinema, which for a long time was a "vague object" of ideological exposure for Soviet viewers and critics, has ceased to be such. The editors of the popular film magazine were faced with the task of eliminating spectator illiteracy with regard to previously banned film production and overcoming their own inferiority complex, which has political, social and professional roots. In this article, the author examines how, over the past five years of the existence of the USSR, on the pages of the magazine "Soviet Screen", under the influence of social processes, the approaches to the coverage of foreign cinema, primarily Western, have changed.

Key words: Soviet film criticism, "perestroika" film criticism, the magazine "Soviet screen", bourgeois cinema.
