Abstract The aim of this study was to describe and analyze the church’s social work, with socially vulnerable individuals, in a municipality in the southern part of Sweden. The church of Sweden has a history of social work because it was a state church until 2000. Since the separation it has been defined as any other faith-communities.

I det här kapitlet spelar diakonen Nestor Sundins beskrivning av sin tid som "ödemarksdiakon" under 1920-talet en viktig roll. Detta material kompletteras av diakonissan Inga-Karin Olssons mer kortfattade rapport till sin uppdragsgivare, Diakonirådet i Nyköping från1961. Efter en historisk bakgrund och en nulägesbeskrivning av gruppen diakoner relateras detta till professionsteori.

The questions asked are: What patriarchal and heteronormative structures exist in the
Handlingsutrymmet för kyrkans sociala engagemang har sett olika ut i olika tider, för att de senare decennierna öka i takt med att legala restriktioner minskat eller försvunnit. Relationen till staten har varit en styrande faktor för detta. I en omvärld alltmer präglad av marknadsvillkor och välfärdspluralism ställs nya krav. Ett sådant är att församlingar tydligare behöver artikulera vad de vill
The purpose of this essay is to shed light upon the ecumenical work that has been done between the Church of Sweden and the Mission Covenant Church of Sweden.

This proposal as well as other documents are analysed in the essay from an ecclesio-logical point of view, to

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.

The aim of this study was to investigate how deacons describe their discretion when distributing food. Six deacons who work in The Church of Sweden in diocese of Lund were interviewed regarding guidelines they work by, expectations they experience of the deacons and how they reason about the decisions to grant or reject a food bag.

In the Lutheran tradition, of which the Church of Sweden is part, the spoken and written word often gets an automatic priority over the experience and perception of artistic expression. As a result, the discourse on the role of aesthetics in liturgical formation has come second to the ongoing discussion about the linguistic and semantic meaning of texts. This thesis wants to contribute to a renewe
The purpose of this thesis is to shed light upon the function of hymns in Church of Sweden funeral services in the 1990s. The funeral service is one of the strongest links between the Swedish people and the Church of Sweden. Since this service can be seen as an essential meeting-place between people and their needs in a mourning process and the Church and its message of faith in this situation, th
Anledningen till att vi antar att kyrkoherdarna har en starkare värdegrund än ledare i privat och offentliga organisationer grundar sig i ett personligt engagemang. Vi brinner för frågor angående ledarskapsutveckling, en vilja till förståelse och en förändring till att få ledare att helt enkelt växa som ledare. Vår utgångspunkt ligger i ett antagande att kyrkoherdar har ett starkt värdesystem och

As a method for this I have composed new music for the sections within the mass, all according to the the
