This essay illustrates situations in actual parish life in the diaspora, between juridical presumptions and everyday practice. Juridical grounds are based on canonical law of the Orthodox Church as well as on the Constitution and Acts of the Serbian Orthodox Church, which were formed between the World Wars and in the postwar period, thus being prepared for the multicultural surroundings of Yugoslavia. Multiculturalism is particularly accented in the diaspora. The text describes the juridical procedure and its consequences in parish life and gives a statistical overview of a parish in the diaspora.

The author of the article tackles the subject of Polish-Ukrainian mixed marriages in Poland. He shows the changes that have taken place concerning the scope of the marital models utilised within the Ukrainian community. He begins his musings looking at the Polish-Ukrainian borderlands in the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. It comes to light that mixed marriages were at that time a common and accepted phenomenon in small, local communities. The end of openness towards mixed marriages was brought by the "Vistula" Operation, as a result of which historic Ukrainian and Polish-Ukrainian neighbouring communities from south-eastern Poland were destroyed, with the people making them up being resettled in the so-called Recovered Territories. In this new context, Ukrainian communities began to work out new marital models, according to which the aim was to enter into marriages within one's own group. In order to achieve endogamy on the one hand within Ukrainian families, clear pressure began to arise upon the marital choices of the young, on the other hand, the entire community had worked out a series of strategies aimed at helping to achieve the behaviour patterns expected by the Ukrainian group.

In this article, I analyze how the mainstream media in Israel, increasingly shaped by social media, constructs a story about a mixed marriage between an Israeli woman, who was raised as Jewish and had converted to Islam, and a Israeli Muslim-Arab man. Referring to 57 items published mainly in August 2014 (during the Third Gaza War), a "human rights," a "Romeo and Juliette," and an "assimilation" discourses are identified. Mixedness appears as part of the democratization of Israel in the first and second discourses; in the third one, mixedness appears as a threat to the Jewish state. The growing impact of the new media is also referred to. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the presented study is to determine the importance of group identity in creating mixed marriages. We will examine what is the attitude to belonging to a group when choosing a spouse, which categories people consider important when grouping partners and themselves into particular groups and which groups they consider recommended or unacceptable in their marital preferences and why. We will try to answer these questions on the basis of a questionnaire survey realized among the inhabitants of Slovak town Prievidza. The research results demonstrated the importance of group identity when choosing a partner, showing the preference of a partner from the same or a similar group, also suggesting the existence of specific groups which the respondents strongly oppose to in partner preferences.
