metadata.value: The article explores the impact of distant learning and digital technologies on the educational
  process in theological education institutions, as well as on religious and educational practices
  at religious organizations in the context of the quarantine restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic
  in Kazakhstan. The research methodology consisted of semi-structed interviews with organizers and participants of distant learning, clergy, focus group method, and the analysis
  of digital resources. The study included religious educational institutions representing Islam,
  Orthodoxy, Catholicism, as well as their religious education for believers. The authors conclude
  that the pandemic has accelerated the process of digitalization of religion in Kazakhstan,
  as well as the sphere of religious education. Based on Heidi Campbell’s religious-social shaping
  approach to technology, the authors claim that the reflection of the experience gained in
  distance learning by its participants expresses the process of coordinating the application of
  media technologies to religious education in order to legitimize their use in the Kazakhstani
  context. The research data reveals an ambiguous and mainly negative attitude toward distance
  learning among respondents which lead to the spreading of the discourse about the difficulties
  and limits of using new technologies for religious education with its traditional pedagogy,
  teaching methods and type of religious authority. The experience of education practices in a
  distance format illustrated by the case study of the course on reading the Qur’ an also revealed
  the limits of its application, since believers are looking not only for religious knowledge, but
  also psychological support and spiritual guidance.
