Summary/Abstract: In my study I analyzed among the members of a rural bible study communitiy network created under the influence of intensive religiousity, how did their biographical stories influence eachother, how did evolve their life, their human relationships, how close were the narratives of the everyday and fate events, how did the event that created the community integrate in the individual life-stories, did it always mean a turning point, did it determine the members of the group to redefine their identity, did it make them similar after they became members of the community. The object of my analysis was also the question of how: how their life-storytelling, narrative behavior, strategies, style of speech, construction of their stories and interpretations reflect their system of values, habits and mentality.
