Chapter: 28. Is Romuva an Official Religion in Lithuania?
Blurb:
Organisations can be recognised as an official religion in Lithuania in different ways. The first Romuva religious community was registered in 1992 and recognised as a non-traditional religion in 1995. Lithuania does not have a state religion, but the law lists three categories of religion – “traditional”, seen as historically present in Lithuania; “recognised”, which includes more recent Christian groups; and “other”, the largest group of religious communities.
