The New Religious Movement

A New Religious Movement (NRM) is a spiritual or religious group that has emerged relatively recently, often outside traditional mainstream religions. These movements may introduce new teachings, practices, or beliefs, and can range from small communities to larger organizations. NRMs sometimes challenge established religious norms and cultural values, attracting followers seeking alternative paths to spirituality or meaning. They are dynamic and diverse, reflecting contemporary social and spiritual trends. While some NRMs face skepticism or misunderstanding, others grow and become influential, contributing to the evolving landscape of religious expression worldwide.
