Additionally, this essay

The purpose of this thesis is to study and compare communication strategies in three different parishes located in three quite different contexts to get a starting point to answering questions concerning the rate of members leaving the Swedish church, 1.6% per year. It is of outmost importance for a parish to be regarded as a positive and responsible organisation contributing to the local communit

With a certain definition of ”networks”, “trust” and “change” this thesis makes new inroads into the historiography of bilateral church relations. Applied to the ambitions of establishing a deeper connection between the Church of Sweden and the Church of England, it’s aim is to show how a social network of leaders – mostly bishops and priests – from both churches came to be the formative centre of

In some Swedish municipal primary schools a common gathering in the local church at the end of every term is a well established tradition. The National Agencies for Education (Skolverket and Skolinspektionen) have come to the conclusion that these gatherings can take place in a church and that a certain degree of religious activities can take place, for example the singing of religious hymns.

Medvetande och inkluderande hållbarhetsarbete – Vem deltar och engageras? En människas uppfattning av världen påverkar hur den personen agerar och blir bemött. Detta antagande kanske inte är världsomvälvande men ofta är det faktiskt inte något som alla tänker på när man exempelvis fattar stora och små beslut. Vilken väg ska jag gå hemåt? Vilken väg ska vi gå för att samhället ska bli hållbart? NärClimate and sustainability work in the Church of Sweden are investigated through an intersectional ecofeminist framework, focusing on the Bishops’ letter about the climate, and in the diocese of Lund and a parish in Malmö, southern Sweden. The structure of the study is taking the form of a qualitative case study applying the evaluation step of policy analysis. The study finds that even if the aim

The main task is focused on an analysis of 65 new mass liturgies that have been used in the Church of Sweden and which are here compared to the liturgy provided in the current Church of Sweden Service Book. Subjects closely related to the main task of this thesis include the renew

Under 1800-talet tilltog de antikatolska stämningarna i Europa. Antikatolicismen hämtade sin näring från katolska kyrkans fördömande av såväl protestantismen som den moderna utvecklingen i riktning mot ett sekulärt samhälle. I flera länder utmynnade dessa motsättningar i veritabla sammandrabbningar mellan katolska kyrkan och den av liberala krafter dominerande statsmakten. Man talade om ”kulturkamIn Sweden, as in other Protestant countries, the gradual dismantling of the legislation on com-pulsory religious adherence saw the politicization of religious issues. In this situation, the imagery of the old enemy took on new functions. This was very much the case with the notion of the ‘Catholic danger’, which time and again surfaced in the Swedish media and in parlia-mentary debate. In the 1860

I vårt mångkulturella samhälle tilldelas religionsfriheten stor betydelse. En fråga som förefaller aktuell inom detta område är huruvida skolavslutningar får anordnas i kyrkan eller inte. Ett flertal intressen kan bli aktuella när frågan behandlas och en avvägning mellan dessa måste ske. Tänkvärda aspekter att se till är förhållandet mellan religion och tradition samt intresseavvägningen mellan deFreedom of religion is a democratic value of great importance in our multicultural society. A question that is perceived to be important within this subject is whether or not graduation ceremonies are allowed to be held in churches. A number of interests may be of importance when this question is discussed and a levelling between the different interests is not uncommon. Important factors to look a
