Nathan Söderblom, Swedish archbishop 1914 - 1931, understands his role as bishop from an integrated theological conception that episcopacy is a gift to the church and the apostolic succession a heritage of utmost value. Episcopacy is an important tool to make the churches come together. in his work for peace during the Great War it was through his position without any power that he could approach the politicians. His calling was not only for Sweden; he had a responsibility for the whole world. In the Ecumenical Cope for the 1925 Stockholm meeting Söderblom expressed his views on the importance of the Uppsala see. His duty was to speek words of peace and love to the Church, the Swedish society and to the world.

This dissertation examines how leaders in the Church of England sought to reorganize the colonial church at critical moments, in the late 1740s, the early 1760s and the mid 1770s, by installing one or two resident bishops when the British government moved to bring the colonies into closer economic and political alignment with England. Examining Anglican attempts to bring bishops to the American colonies within the context of the Anglo-American world moves beyond the current literature and provides insight into the difficulties British political and ecclesiastical authorities had managing the colonies more efficiently. Even though the Church of England sustained wide influence over the population, the failure of the Anglicans’ proposal to install bishops into the colonies was symptomatic of the declining influence of the Church on politics in the eighteenth century. Differing views over political and ecclesiastical authority between the colonists and the Anglicans, and the possibility religious conflict might have on elections, concerned British authorities enough to reject Anglicans’ proposals for resident bishops for the colonies. The failure also highlights how the British government in the eighteenth century increasingly focused on the political and economic administration of the expanded more diverse British Empire than it did on religious administration.

O objeto deste estudo é a justiça eclesiástica, analisada sob dois aspectos: as relações estabelecidas pelos juízes eclesiásticos com os fiéis e com os juízes seculares; e os mecanismos de coerção que pôs em prática. A metodologia comparativa baseou-se nas seguintes fontes: processos judiciais eclesiásticos; recursos de averiguação de delitos - as querelas, queixas e denúncias; norma jurídica - expressa nas constituições sinodais, Ordenações e tratados; correspondência de bispos e governadores do século XVIII. Tais fontes evidenciam as várias facetas da justiça colonial: a virtude primeira do Príncipe; e a prerrogativa episcopal. Ponto central na evangelização tridentina, a justiça eclesiástica preconizava maior presença no cotidiano dos fiéis, e uma busca dos pecadores públicos, mediante devassas, denúncias, queixas e querelas. Como corolário deste exercício, verificam-se entre as autoridades seculares e eclesiásticas relações de colaboração, concorrência e conflito. Isto desencadeou múltiplas reações entre as pessoas leigas e eclesiásticas, alvos daquela ação. / The object of this study is the ecclesiastical justice in the diocese of the Minas Gerais, analyzed in two ways: the competitive relations of the cooperation, elimination and conflict that established their judges delegates with the people and the authorities of the colony; the mechanisms of coercion that put into practice. A comparative methodology was based on the following sources: ecclesiastical court proceedings, resources investigation of crimes, such as suits, complaints and wanton; the rule of law, and correspondence of the bishops and governors of the eighteenth century. These sources show the various facets assumed by the justice to colonial times: the main prerrogative of the Prince; and also episcopal prerogative, according to the decreesTridentine. The bishop chased the public sinners; received suits and denunciations and established wanton. The ecclesiastical justice was essential element of evangelization Tridentine; however, between secular and ecclesiastical authorities, were relations of the competition, collaboration and conflict. This triggered multiple reactions among people, the target of his action.
