Abstract
Taking into consideration a remarkable number of the Light-Life followers, we can say that the Movement accounts for much of the growth of the NRM-sector in the Polish society. The research on its two currents and the way they change suggests several points. First, we can note some stability in the religious attitudes of those Poles who do not belong to the traditional structures of the Roman Catholic Church. Now that transformation processes are over in Poland, they are no longer a source of increases in the NRMs or the number of their followers. Religious movements respond to the changed context in different ways. Many of them, though, have not ceased to attract and recruit new members and to extend their spiritual formation. They still constitute a specific challenge for religious movements that develop within the Catholic Church.
