Holby City (1999–present) is a stalwart of British television media. Since its conception in 1999, the show has continued to attract contemporary audiences who tune in to passively, and passionately, experience turbulent battles between life and death. However, the locus of interest is not on the patients within Holby’s wings, but rather the staff themselves; it is their emotional, psychological and pedagogical development which spurs the plot forward and grips viewer attention. Through the use of medical pedagogy, Holby City becomes a drama of perpetual Bildungsromane, where relationships between peers, mentors and mentees are under consistent pressure. Furthermore, this pedagogy does not merely ensure Holby City’s series continuation but becomes a site of transformation, challenging preconceived ideologies of toxic masculinity. This is never more apparent than in the character of Sacha Levy (Bob Barrett), whose emotional availability, vulnerability and religious spirituality directly challenge concepts of the self-destructive ‘burnt-out’ male medic. This article explores the character of Sacha Levy in Holby City, demonstrating how the show’s writers engage actively in research to directly confront stereotypes of toxic masculinity and Jewish underrepresentation in the contemporary medical drama.

Previous research indicates that spirituality expressed in tradition-specific terms may initiate, invigorate, and integrate Muslim religious commitments, suggesting a 3-I Model of Religious Spirituality. In a test of this model, Islamic seminarians, university students, and office workers in Iran ( N = 604) responded to Muslim Experiential Religiousness (MER), Religious Orientation, and mental health scales. The tradition- specific spirituality of MER displayed correlation, moderation, and mediation results with Intrinsic and Extrinsic Personal Religious Orientations that pointed toward initiation, invigoration, and integration effects, respectively. MER also clarified the ambiguous implications of the Extrinsic Social Religious Orientation. These data most generally confirmed the heuristic potential of the 3-I Model.

After the establishment of the Diocese of Wigry in 1799, many priests returned to their mother dioceses (Wilno, Łuck, Żmudź) situated in the Tsardom of Russia. Bp M. Karpowicz and the Prussian Government received religious from convents which were being suppressed in the Tsardom in order to replace them. Many religious returned to their places of origin, which where part of the sector of Poland annexed by Prussia. This state of the matter was taken over by the Diocese of Augustów, that is of Sejny, which came into being in 1818, in place of the Diocese of Wigiy. The bishops of Wigry, and later - of Augustów, frequently received documents concerning the secularization of religious from Rome. After the establishment of the Seminary in 1826, the bishope reduced the number of petitions to the Apostolic See. Gradually the number of priests educated on the spot (in Sejny) increased. In the 1820’s Russia limited the departures of religious to the Kingdom and forced those, who went 70 ArŁm, II 144 к. 71; II 148 k. 54; II 149 k. 8.

The Diocese of Augustów, that is of Sejny, had only nine male religious convent and one female one. After the January Uprising four of them were suppressed, three supernumerary survived for a few years. Only the Capuchins in Łomża and the Marians in Mariampol remained until the beginning of the present century, while the Benedictine Sisters - during the whole period. The religious priests travelled to parishes during the period of Easter confessions, preached sermons during parish solemnities, substituted priests who were ill. They heard confessions in their churches also, especially during frequent solemnities attended by many faithful. In the buildings of the convents diocesan priests had their yearly retreats, some stayed there placed there for a period of penance by the bishop. The assistance of religious coming from Russia in the pastoral ministry appeared mainly at the start of the XIX century and, as a result of their secularization, for a longer period of time. The Diocese of Augustów, that is of Sejny, was enriched by religious spirituality. In the second half of the century there was a lack of this influence which (together with many governmental restrictions) gave pastoral ministry a more administrative character.

The presented topic of scientific analysis is an integral part of the philosophical-religious analysis of the phenomenon of the ancient Russian "yard". In the context of contemporary spiritual research, the author considers it urgent to attempt a systematic study of the phenomenon of the "door" as a form of compromise in the history of pagan and Christian worldviews, as well as to combine this problem with the understanding of transformation processes in Ukrainian religious spirituality in the context of global postmodernity.

RESUMO: Neste artigo é examinada a questão da experiência religiosa no contexto da modernidade, considerada estruturalmente ateia em consequência da virada antropocêntrica que constitui a forma moderna de consciência. O objetivo fundamental do autor é mostrar uma possibilidade de se pensar a experiência religiosa autêntica para tal consciência moderna a partir de uma consideração compreensiva da espiritualidade ateia e de suas relações com a espiritualidade religiosa tradicional. Para isto ele considera a experiência religiosa na forma da experiência mística, apresentando-a em seus traços fundamentais, ressaltando as duas principais formas de mística imanentista. Em seguida explicita a dimensão mística presente no interior da tradição ateísta, indicando brevemente seus pressupostos ontológicos. A partir deste diálogo com a mística ateia o autor sustenta ser possível um horizonte ampliado para se pensar hoje a experiência autenticamente religiosa de forma compreensiva.ABSTRACT: This paper deals with the issue of religious experience in the context of modernity, which is envisaged as structurally atheistic due to the anthropocentric turn that defines the modern form of consciousness. The main goal of the author is to show a possibility of thinking the authentic religious experience for this modern consciousness through a comprehensive understanding of the atheistic spirituality and of its relations with traditional religious spirituality. He examines the religious experience in the particular form of mysticism, showing its essential features, and highlighting the two main forms of immanentistic mysticism. Afterwards he discloses the mystic dimension in the atheistic tradition, pointing briefly to its ontological presuppositions. This dialogue with the atheistic form of mysticism allows the author to claim that there is a possible horizon within which to think nowadays the truly religious experience in a comprehensive way.

How has the ‘benevolent self’s relation to others changed as a result of (first) the liberalization of monotheisms and (then) the uneven transition to post-religious spiritual formations? The apparent (and misleading) effacement of the self in traditional monotheistic generosity has ultimately given way to a ‘liberal’ glorification of the self. In advanced liberalism (typically dubbed ‘neoliberalism’), the glorification intensifies, but paradoxically becomes self-critical. Post-religious spiritualities interact with these advanced liberal dynamics to open up new possibilities for self- and community-formation. Even though the contradictions between self-centeredness and self-criticism are most acutely experienced within American post-religious spirituality, a suggestive discussion of Egypt demonstrates that these trends are not exclusively ‘Western.’ In both contexts, the corporate takeover of spirituality confines alternative forms of generosity.
