Neo Associate Professor, National University of Singapore, Faculty of Law jaclyn.neo@nus.edu.sg Abstract This essay introduces the Special Issue of the Journal. It discusses how changing religious demographics and heightened religious plurality are challenging exist- ing thinking about, and patterns of, state-religion relations and the nature of the 'secular state'. The essay briefly surveys each of the papers in the Special Issue and highlights that one of the key lessons that emerges from the papers is the importance of context. As the contexts evolve, fresh thinking and new arrangements would be needed.
