Abstract: The relation between religiosity and donations to charity has frequently been subject of research. We analyzed effects of dimensions of individual religiosity (Glock and Stark 1966) on people's intention to donate to the poorest countries. We tested for cross-national effect differences in representative samples of seven European countries. Results turned out to be relatively robust across countries. We found that church attendance, dogmatic conviction and a consequential religious attitude affect intentional donations positively. The religiosity of one's network does have an additional effect. Partner's church attendance is positively related to willingness to donate. However, people with mainly friends with the same religious opinions are less willing to donate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: El artículo discute la importancia y relevancia de la obediencia dentro de la vida religiosa. La obediencia, como se puede ver con la creación de las órdenes monásticas, es una parte fundamental, junto a la castidad y la pobreza, de la característica de la vida cristiana. Estos tres componentes han sido conocido, históricamente, como los tres votos religiosos. Este estudio intenta aclarar la legislación canónica sobre el voto de obediencia como una parte del voto general.

Abstract: The article looks at the role of U.S. evangelicals in the fight against poverty and disease in developing countries. Rick Warren is arguably the most influential evangelical pastor in America. His church in California is the largest megachurch in the country, with 20,000 worshippers every Sunday. Warren now has a new cause. God has told him to serve the world's downtrodden, particularly in Africa. America's evangelicals are beginning to embrace international causes such as poverty with the same fervor that they have long brought to domestic causes. By no means all these Christian activists are card-carrying conservatives. Jim Wallis, a prominent left-wing evangelical, is leading an ecumenical group of Christians to Britain for a pre-G8 summit. But over the past decade, much of the hard lifting has been done by members of the religious right. Evangelicals are also changing foreign policy.
