Each week, Religion News Service (RNS) presents a gallery of photos of religious expression around the world. This week’s selection includes images of Orthodox Christian youth and Pentecostal groups.

Meanwhile, Pentecostal groups in Washington, D.C., organized a Confraternity of Pentecostal Entities of the Americas (CEPA) event, where members pushed back against immigration policies, gathering outside the Capitol on September 8, 2026.

These photos highlight the diverse ways religious communities engage with contemporary social issues, particularly those related to immigration.
