The purpose of this study was to explore and analyse both how the grief groups in the Church of Sweden are organised, as well as how and if the religion is used during the conversations about death. I have also looked at how the group leaders view the grieving process. Semi-structured interviews were held with deacons and clergy that work with leading grief groups within the Church of Sweden. The

This essay studies the frequent habit of using Orthodox icons in the Church of Sweden. Over the last 30 years, these icons have become very popular. How come a symbol, traditionally foreign to the Swedish, Lutheran tradition, has become so accepted? Is the use of icons an expression of a shift of religious practice in Sweden today? Interviews were conducted with people employed by the Church, who

This thesis examines the Climate Mass held in Stockholm Cathedral in September 2023. The aim is to understand the theology of the Climate Mass and how it terms and theologically processes and interpret the climate crisis in a Swedish church sermon. The thesis also investigates how the context matter for theology in eco-theological preaching in the Church of Sweden. Using an eco-theological framewo

The main purpose of this study is to analyse how the inherent plurality in the Lutheran theological tradition is shown in the Church of Sweden’s interpretation of the sacrament of baptism. Since most recent studies on the theology of baptism have focuses on lived theology, this study is instead focused on normative and formal theology. In this study have analysed the baptismal motifs in two curren

The aim of this study is to examine how the Church of Sweden’s bishops' letters on climate and deaconry, as well as Pope Francis encyclical Fratelli tutti, articulate the church’s social and political responsibility in contemporary society. Through a qualitative content analysis, the study examines how the documents address themes of creation and climate responsibility, economic justice, and s

Att rapportera resultat ser de flesta i dagens samhälle som en självklar plikt. Många offentligfinansierade verksamheter styrs enligt en marknadslogik som bygger på kontraktsbaserade uppdrag som bland annat innebär en granskning av hur skattemedlen används. Redovisning sker genom mer eller mindre ingående kontroll med syftet att säkra den kvalitet man beställt och att visa att eftersträvade result

I detta arbete redogör jag för brister och tillgångar i psalmutövande och psalmskrivande, i tider med ny psalmbok på gång. Jag har gått igenom hur tidigare psalmbokskommitté tänkte och gjorde samt intervjuade sekreterare i dåvarande grupp, Per-Olof Nisser. Jag har med dessa glasögon gått igenom nyskrivna verk och dess möjligheter och svårigheter att kunna bli del av en framtida psalmbok. Det jag hIn this master’s thesis, I will go through the strengths and weaknesses in contemporary hymn writing, in times when the Church of Sweden is in the process of revising their hymn book. I have compared this process with the previous process, what the committees thought and did and interviewed the secretary of the previous committee, Per-Olof Nisser. With this knowledge I have analyzed some new made

Today, Sweden is a secular and individualistic society. Communication is therefore a great challenge for religious organizations. With a social constructionist approach, we examine how employees of the Swedish church believe that the organization should communicate to legitimize their role in the Swedish society. We also examine different communication channels to see how the Swedish church commun

I dagens välfärdspluralism antar idéburna organisationer roller som gemenskapsbyggare, röstbärare och serviceleverantörer. Det socialpolitiska landskapet är under ständig förändring – något som påverkar kyrkan och dess diakonala arbete. I kyrklig diakoni ryms praktik och reflektion, teologisk och socialpolitisk. Hur gestaltas detta? Vilka verksamheter prioriteras, hur organiseras och leds det diak
