ABSTRACT
Between 2012 and 2013, the Information Centre on Religious beliefs of Geneva (CIC) has identified, documented and mapped all the religious communities of the Canton of Geneva (these data will be available for the Geneva population on a website). Of the roughly 400 religious communities identified, more than 60 percent belong to religious minorities (i.e. are neither Roman Catholic nor Protestant Reformed). The chapter provides an overview of these religious minorities, their history, the religious and socio-cultural diversity they represent, their location in geographic space, and the different services they offer, as well as an indication of the problems they face. Moreover, by mapping these minorities across a city like Geneva, the authors raise the question of the past and future importance of urban centres as the place for establishing religious minorities.
