Worldwide, new religious movements are changing the cultures, economies and everyday life in the metropolis. These new movements and organizations have become political actors who frequently substitute state agencies. While urban cultures are permeated by new modes of religious expression, new religious movements, in their turn, are permeated by urbanism and secularism. URBAN PRAYERS. REINVENTING RELIGION IN THE CITY exemplifies this phenomenon in Lagos, Istanbul and Berlin.
