Summary/Abstract: The main task of this text is an analysis of the social activities carried out by various religious communities in Bulgaria and the Balkan Peninsula, and an assessment of their impact on society. Its implementation is realized by identifying the main social areas in which religious institutions provide support such as charity, health care, integration of vulnerable groups and others; comparison of the social activities of the leading religious institutions (Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, etc.) in Bulgaria and in other Balkan countries such as Greece, Serbia, North Macedonia, Romania, Turkey, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina; outlining the main challenges facing religious institutions in implementing their social mission. For this purpose, an analysis of documents (statistical data, reports, regulatory acts, internal regulations of religious communities) is applied, as well as observations for a deeper understanding of the essence of the social activities carried out.
