Abstract: This text presents a research, conducted in Genoa, on the role of churches in promoting integration and \ninclusion of immigrants. The study took into consideration some places of worship belonging to three \ndifferent religious confessions (Catholicism, Protestantism and Islam). \nStarting from a reflection on the relationship between the religious experience and paths of insertion in \nthe receiving societies, we asked ourselves about the role that the various religious communities play in \npromoting processes of aggregation and integration of migrants. Ethnographic research in places of worship \nhas allowed us to investigate some issues related above all to the relationship between religion, identity and \ninclusion in the contest of arrival. The research analyzed the tension between the desire to rebuild ‘one’s own’ \nin immigration, expressed by the creation of ‘ethnic churches’, and the possibility of building new religious \npractices. Practices that change over time and mix with the specificities of the churches of contexts of arrival.
