Abstract
“Livin’ On A Prayer” is a feature writing package which aims to capture what it is like to be part of minority religious communities – whether it is a New Religious Movement (NRM), outlawed community or an informal prayer group of transient workers. The stories focus on what draws individuals to these communities, and why they stay on despite the challenges. These narratives are set against the backdrop of changing attitudes towards religion in the country, with more young Singaporeans viewing faith as a commodity to “shop” for, rather than in the traditional sense as a duty. Presented in magazine form, the package is targeted at Singaporean youths with the hope of motivating them to find out about less conventional pockets of faith, and to reflect on their own paths.
