21	Församlingspedagogen : arbetsledare och pedagogisk ledare? Eckerdal, Sylvia January 2019 (has links) In the Church of Sweden, the head of the educational activities is usually not a church, or parish, educator, nor a teacher. One purpose of the 2014 educational reform was to clarify the role and mission of the education officer (församlingspedagog). The roll of the education officer as leader has not been highlighted. The purpose of this present study is to elucidate if some of the education officer’s leadership in the Swedish Church can be called educational leadership and to what extent the school’s definition of educational leadership can be applied in this context. If so, how can educational leadership be understood, conditioned and realized in practice, that is, in the church context. The thesis is based on a qualitative study with interviews of education officers, who are in a leading position of theeducational activities, and their managers. Theoretical starting points have been Ärlestigs and Törnsén’s model for school leaders’ educational leadership. Another starting point is Berg’s model to explore the freedom and limitations of the leadership activities. The education officer’s leadership consists of two parts, one as a manager and one as a leader. The tension between these two is obvious as the role of a manager is clear and the one as leader is unclear. Ärlestigs and Törnsén’s model consists of three parts that together constitute the educational leadership of the leader; to create the conditions for learning and teaching in the role of educational leader, to guide the school’s core processes in the role of educational leader, that is to lead learning and teaching and finally, to link the organization’s results to the daily work of learning and teaching. The result of this study is that the conditions for management are that the educational leader are given the needed conditions to lead and receive support in the work. The conditions for educational leadership are not fully fulfilled, as the leadership role is unclear. There is a need to adjust the terms to better suit the church context. The work and leadership of the education officer needs to be acknowledged, made visible and described in order to be possible to develop.

Former state church, The Swedish church, is in this paper, not included in the definition of religious groups. The reform (“stat-kyrka reformen”) took place between 1995 and year 2000.I’m examining if religious groups had any influence on the reform. My expectation is to give a clearer picture of religious groups and its power position in Swedish politics and society. A process-tracing method is used. I use different theories, theory of power and influence and theory of collective action. The reason for the decision to separate church and state was to handle social changes such as increasing secularism, pluralism and multiculturalism. This paper can however conclude that the state, after the reform, has shown an even greater, less secular, determination to connect with religious groups. I can also conclude that these religious groups had influence on the reform itself, partly because of its power resources and partly because its ability for collective actions.

The climate on earth is changing and it is most likely due to human activity and the destruction of the earth's resources, ecosystems and waterways. More recently a very active environmental movement is taking up more space in people's lives. In many ways, it can be considered that climate change, and the movement that accompanied it, created a generation of people who proclaim a doom as a result of human destruction of the planet. I have conducted qualitative online interviews with nine representatives from the Church of Sweden, mainly church pastors from southern Sweden, to see how they relate to climate change, their views on judgement day and how they respond to people in their office who have anxiety and are concerned about climate change and the possible destruction of the human race. The result shows that all respondents in the survey place a great focus on man's individual and collective responsibility in the care for the earth, that is, according to them, God's creation. Through Berger’s social-constructivist theories of secularization, the study shows that the climate movement itself sometimes lacks Christian values of optimism and Christian concepts, such as God's grace, forgiveness, and hope. It thus gives the impression that the movement in some ways has a secular character. In contrast to this, the representatives of the Swedish Church claim to have a hopeful attitude and mostly believe that climate change is not part of the eschatological prophecies described in the Bible. However, they often reason that one cannot know for certain what the future holds, but as they hope and long for Christ's return, they have no fear but instead put their faith in hope and in God. They believe there is a clearer optimism on their part in the form of forgiveness, grace and hope and are willing to lead by example by caring for people who fear and encourage them to hope and the trust in God.

During the ongoing inflation, prices for essentials such as food, rent, and electricity have increased, placing additional strain on the welfare state and the efforts of social workers to meet the needs of individuals in economic hardship. There is a lack of consensus in the research regarding the role that the Swedish Church and the City Mission should play in social work and the extent to which they provide aid. In times of inflation, the question becomes particularly relevant as civil society actors become more relevant when societal resources are insufficient. To address our research questions, we conducted a qualitative interview study involving eight participants from the Swedish Church and the City Mission. We employed neo-institutional theory to interpret our empirical data. Our study revealed that the Swedish Church and the City Mission in a municipality in southern Sweden emphasize their multifaceted function and flexible approach, enabling them to address various forms of needs among individuals experiencing financial crisis. They described themselves as being able to complement certain aspects of the municipal welfare agency's responsibilities, but their resources were too limited to fully replace these functions. Our study demonstrated that they could provide limited amounts of food, financial resources, and create a sense of community and belonging inside their organization.

26	Kamp om rummet : en studie av heteronormativitet i Svenska kyrkan / Struggle about the room : a study of heteronormativity within the Swedish church Lindström, Susanne January 2005 (has links) This thesis deals with questions concerning ongoing constructions of heterosexuality as a norm in the Swedish church. Empirically the study is based partly on interviews with thirteen homo- and bisexual priests, one district visitor and one church politician and partly on some of the church’s own inquiries and documents concerning the question of Christianity and ”deviant” sexuality. The aim for this study is to examine how norms for sexuality, coexistence and gender are repeated in the documents created by the Swedish church itself about homosexuality and Christianity and to discern how these norms are present and have sense – are reproduced, challenged and transformed in life stories of Christian homo- and bisexual individuals. To be able to see how the notion of homosexuality as abnormal is reproduced, secured and challenged I have chosen to interpret texts, observations and life stories from a critical discourse perspective. In this theoretical tradition it is central to stress how, or rather to investigate what strategies are used to produce and maintain notions of ”abnormality”. One dominating view in the discussions within the church is that homosexuals and heterosexuals have equal value but that partnership cannot be equated with marriage. This understanding is expressed in my examples of formations of heteronormativity within the church. In the interview persons’ narratives there are discourses represented that are articulated in the church’s own inquiries but the narratives also express counter discourses. They speak about themselves in relation to, for example, imperative heterosexuality, homosexual ideals, core family ideals, theological way of thinking and dichotomizing understanding of gender. I have identified several ”uses” in the narratives and all of them are contained in an overall Christian homosexual ”us”. Instead of viewing themselves as being ”wrong” some of the interview persons have moved the problem to the heteronormativity. Experiences of not being part of the norm have made them strong and willing to struggle and fight for their rights. This position, outside the norm, is by some viewed positively. The homosexuals’ experiences of oppression have led to a desire to liberate the church from homophobia and show ”the true” church, where no one is discriminated. Homosexuals are accepted within the church, but only as deviants. This way heterosexuality is being made the superior category. Its meaning and superior position cannot be questioned according to many of the church’s representatives. Still, this is exactly what is happening when homosexuals are increasingly visible to the public and when they challenge the heterosexual norm. This provocation makes the heterosexual norm visible and forces representatives of the norm to deal with it! / Författaren har bytt efternamn till Holst. ethnology discourse norm normality abnormality experience dichotomy power heteronormativity heterosexuality homo- and bisexuality gender identity Swedish church theology Christianity ”us” and ”them” partnership marriage and life story etnologi diskurs norm normalitet erfarenhet dikotomi makt heteronormativitet heterosexualitet homo- och bisexualitet genus identitet svenska kyrkan teologi kristendom vi och dom partnerskap and livshistoria Ethnology Etnologi
