Fattigvård, diakoni och välfärdstjänster - från restriktioner till konkurrensutsättning

The Church has been a dominant actor in the history of care and social support, but it met several restrictions during the 20th Century. The Church of Sweden now has,since the separation from the state A.D. 2000, the possibility to act as a "welfare entrepreneur". But the willingness to do so seems limited. Even if innovative examples are seen the parishes hesitate for organisational and ideologicThe Church has been a dominant actor in the history of care and social support, but it met several restrictions during the 20th Century.
