This book, based on fieldwork in rural and urban settings, demonstrates that Protestant congregations generate social resources relevant to Belarusian society as a whole. It suggests exploring Protestantism in Belarus as a distinct model of lifestyle, a model of civic engagement and as a model of social life. Moreover, not only does Protestantism offer a unique type of lifestyle, but the social life taking place within congregations provides individuals offers a distinct basis for personal relationships and facilitates support networks. This, in turn, makes them unique social actors in authoritarian Belarus.
