The purpose of this master thesis in practical theology is to investigate the reasons for choices of hymns made by parents baptising their children in the Church of Sweden.

The method used is semi structured interviews of eleven parents whose childre

Prayer has its origin in the Bible and as a practise it serves a lot of purposes. One of these is to convey the teachings of the church, which takes the form of liturgical prayer in a worship service. The two liberation prayers within the baptismal liturgy of the Swedish church, convey the teachings of the church on original sin, and the thesis of this essay is that the two choices provided for th

How many times have you heard that if children are in church they should be quiet and still?
