Several lay renewal movements such as the Lord's Army and the Stork's Nest also appeared within the Orthodox Church, implicating large numbers of peasants and workers in tight-knit religious communities operating at the margins of Eastern Orthodoxy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBringing the history of the Orthodox Church into dialogue with sectarianism, heresy, grassroots religious organization and nation-building, Roland Clark explores how competing religious groups in interwar Romania responded to and emerged out of similar catalysts, including rising literacy rates, new religious practices and a newly empowered laity inspired by universal male suffrage and a growing civil society who took control of community organizing. He also analyses how Orthodox leaders used nationalism to attack sectarians as 'un-Romanian', whilst these groups remained indifferent to the claims the nation made on their souls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSituated at the intersection of transnational history, religious history and the history of reading, \u003ci\u003eSectarianism and Renewal in 1920s Romania\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003echallenges us to rethink the one-sided narratives about modernity and religious conflict in interwar Eastern Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe ebook editions are available under a CC BY-NC 3.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
