About the project
The primary goal of the research was to identify and analyse religious policy challenges associated with religious and life stance communities, and their efforts to meet their members’ needs relating to specific life-phase rites and rituals. In addition, an assessment was made of the extent to which these challenges should be handled in light of the right to freedom of religion and belief, quite apart from the principle of equality. The study identified a number of challenges facing several life stance communities, but also a surprising flexibility in the practical interaction between practitioners and society at large.
