Strictly religious adolescents grow up in highly religious contexts with orthodox beliefs and practices that usually contrast with those of pluralist and secularized societies that can be perceived as promoting unhealthy religious identity development. For these adolescents, religious identity development may be a challenge; however, there seems to be a lack of theoretical and empirical understanding of how these adolescents develop their religious identities. To address this, a literature review was conducted, and 15 studies were selected after the application of selection criteria. This review focuses on the characteristics of these studies to understand the religious identity development of strictly religious adolescents. Implications for theory development and further empirical research are discussed.

Wat hebben maatschappelijk werkers, leraren in het middelbaar onderwijs, ondernemers in een grootstedelijke winkelstraat, schoonmakers in een verzorgingstehuis en hbo studenten in de Randstad met elkaar gemeen? Dat ze werken en leren in een omgeving waar 'autochtone' Nederlanders niet meer vanzelfsprekend in de meerderheid zijn. Integratie is hier een zaak van een samenleving van minderheden geworden. (Hoe) lukt het mensen om in zo'n 'superdiverse' omgeving relaties aan te gaan over de grenzen van hun 'eigen' groep heen: op welke terreinen vinden ze elkaar, en wanneer stokt de communicatie? En welke rol spelen verschillen in cultuur hier eigenlijk bij? Dit boek bevat het verslag van een aantal casestudies naar alledaagse omgangsvormen in de grootstedelijke samenleving, verricht door onderzoekers verbonden aan het lectoraat Burgerschap en Diversiteit van De Haagse Hogeschool.

The focus of my research is how Bartholomeus Guesthouse (BG), founded in 1407 by Willem van Abcoude, has organized care over more than 600 years for the elderly and elderly sick people in the Centre of Utrecht. After the reorganization of 1817 -by Royal Law- the 7 (9) Guesthouses were merged to one Board called “College van Regenten der Vereenigde Gods-en Gasthuizen” .They have had their domicile in Bartholomeus Guesthouse. This Guesthouse survived as elderly care centre on particular foundation, which has meant until today that people from different religions were welcome. The properties of the other guesthouses came under supervision of the Board of “Vereenigde Gods-en Gasthuizen”. The heritage of the other foundations was , in terms of property and land, considerable. In my paper I will present the following items: -An inventarisation of the situation after 1817 and the ‘cameren’ (vrij woningen) of the different guesthouses in Utrecht and what their (living) conditions were at that time; -the Policy of the Board supervising the Free Houses/ Cameren for Elderly during this area; the observation of the archive manager S.Muller Fz.is good illustration of the situation in 1900; -the inhabitants of the ‘vrij woningen’; the selection and the rules as part of the social housing policy; - a more general analysis: the policy of poor relief and the debate of who had to take care of the poor? - all subjects give an answer to the question whether or not poor relief can be regarded as a safety valve for the (lower) middle class, in the ninetheenth century.
