This inaugural lecture in the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities discusses the silence in Swedish press and in the Church of Sweden on National socialism, 1933-1939. This silence was neither common nor general, it was often concentrated to certain levels or matters. Silence could be compact, while the silent persons could speak on other levels, in other words, often in a the
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
This thesis looks at present-day ecclesial use of the Bible by investigating the reception of narrative parables from the Gospel of Luke, chapters 10–15, in sermon guidelines published 1985–2013 in two periodicals aimed mainly at Church of Sweden clergy. The main problems can be expressed by the words “what”, “how” and “why”: What is received – and what is not received? How is that which is receiv
Climate 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
3a Abstracts 1. Majorstua+ as Youth Cathedral: A case of framing arena-based Christian communities Majorstua+ was established in 2011 by the Diocese of Oslo and the Common council of the city parishes, and was thus a joint venture within the dual managerial structure in the Church of Norway. The project, which is now made permanent, intends to reach persons aged 18-30 and strengthen their church a
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
Allt sedan sitt genombrott på 1930-talet har den s.k. högkyrkliga rörelsen, eller bättre uttryckt Kyrklig förnyelse, på ett eller annat sätt eftersträvat ett betonande av offermotivet i mässans firande. Detta har inte minst framgått av de mässordningar som producerats inom ramen för rörelsen och av till rörelsen anknutna personer. Mässofferläran, som teorin traditionellt kallas, har diskuterats ocThe Swedish High Church movement has, ever since its breakthrough in the 1930s, in one way or another struggled to accentuate the sacrificial motif in the celebration of the Mass. This is something that especially can be noted in the missals that have been produced within the movement, and by persons connected to it. The doctrine of the Sacrifice of the Mass, as this theory is known traditionally,
En omfattande privatisering av den offentliga verksamheten har medfört en ny situation för de före detta offentligt anställda, då det gäller reglerna om yttrandefrihet. Lag om företagshemligheter reglerar inte yttrandefriheten för arbetstagare, utan skyddet för hemlig information hos arbetsgivaren, s.k. företagshemlighet. Med företagshemlighet avses enligt 1 § FHL ''information om affärs -
The Church of Sweden has a long history of social work, and until year 2000 the Church of Sweden was a part of the government. Officially, the divorce between the two has not implied other changes than that each one is now in charge of its own economy. This study was done with a qualitative method in which semi-structured interviews were conducted with three deacons and three social workers. The a
Avhandlingens empiriska syfte är att undersöka vad som händer när globala marknadsorienterade modeller för granskning och kvalitet tas i bruk i lokala församlingar. Särskild uppmärksamhet ägnas församlingarnas diakonala arbete. Undersökningen baseras på fallstudier där ett urval av församlingar och granskningsmodeller är studieobjektet. Avhandlingen har även ett teoretiskt syfte: att i samspel medThe empirical aim of the thesis is to investigate what happens when global market-oriented models for auditing and quality assessment are taken up by local parishes. Particular attention is paid to the diaconal work of the parishes. The study is based on case studies where a number of parishes and auditing models provide the object of study. The thesis also has a theoretical aim: to test, in inter
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. From earlier data on baptisms and hymns we do know which hymns are most commonly chosen, but no one to date has interviewed parents on their choices. The method used is semi structured interviews of eleven parents whose childre
It is often stated that the Gospel is for all people, regardless of age. This essay addresses the issue of children in worshiping communities in Church of Sweden. I examine how children are worshiping, and how they can build understanding and develop through it. I wanted to see how the communities work for the children and how they give them tools and help to guide them into participation. Accordi
