The effects of a separation between a state church and a state : Participation and religious activity in the Evangelical-Lutheran churches in Sweden and NorwayBergström, Helena January 2009 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the effects on religious participation and activity in a country that a separation between a state and a state church has. To do this I have compared Sweden and Norway. Norway still has a state church whereas Sweden does not as of January 1 2000. I decided to examine these two countries due to their similar backgrounds, geographical location and political systems. What I found when examining Sweden was that the separation did effect the religious participation compared to Norway. But Sweden has seen a decrease in church activities for a long time; the decrease would have taken place even without the separation, since Norway also had experiences this decrease over time. So my conclusion is, if Sweden had continued to have a state church, there would have been a similar decrease. However, it would probably have been smaller, then what have taken place after the separation. The different religious activities I have looked at, baptism, confirmation and marriage, have had different development over the years and have been affected differently by the separation. The decrease in religious activity in Sweden is not only caused by the separation between state and church, it is also a reaction against a changing society. The separation in Sweden lead to a larger decrease compared to Norway. Both the decrease in religious activity in Sweden and the separation was instead a reaction to a changing society, the role that the Swedish church once played has been replaced by other factors. One of the foundations to the political elements in Sweden has with this decrease and ultimately the separation been lost and if this also will have any effect on the involvement in secular organization, voting rates or political participation is too early to tell.

Le corps résistant du langage culturel Bantu : vers une compréhension des pratiques culturelles marginalisées de la société angolaise : le cas du mariage traditionnel Kongo / The résistant corp of Bantu cultural langage : towards a compréhension of marginalized cultural practices of the Angolan society : the case of a traditional Kongo mariageRescova, Joaquim Pedro Neto 26 January 2015 (has links)
À l’ère de la globalisation, il est important de réfléchir sur les réalités qui font que cette globalisation puisse se réaliser. Dans l’étude des faits sociaux, le corps devient un des fondements de socialisation dans des sociétés dites traditionnelles, mais aussi dans des sociétés modernes. Le Mariage Traditionnel Bantu est une des pratiques sociales du corps qui, même aujourd’hui, résiste encore aux modèles imposés de l’intérieur et de l’extérieur de sa culture. Nous nous interrogeons constamment sur les raisons de cette résistance. Pour comprendre, nous avons privilégié l’observation participante de l’ensemble du trajet cérémonial donnant lieu à cette réalité chez les Kongo d’Angola, à travers une incursion dans son histoire et sa culture. Nous avons aussi opté pour des interviews dans un esprit d’ouverture et de découverte. Sans fermer la porte au nouveau monde et en consonance à l’évolution sociale, le Corps résistant du Mariage Traditionnel Kongo se caractérise comme un corps métis. Notre interaction a été menée surtout autour des mots suivants : corps, mariage, résistance, famille, parenté, métissage, société, État, Église, identité. / In the era of globalization, it is important to reflect on the realities that make this globalization possible. In the study of the social facts, the body becomes one of the foundations of socialization in societies referred to as traditional, but also in the modern societies. The traditional wedding of Bantu is one of the social practices of the body that, even today, resists the models imposed inside and outside of this culture. We are asking ourselves constantly about the reasons of this resistance. To understand, we have privileged the participating observation of the all ceremonial path, giving rise to this reality by the Kongo people of Angola, through an incursion in the history and his culture. We have also taken the option of interviews in a spirit of discovering and to have an open mind. Without closing the door to the new world and in consonance to the social evolution, the body resistance of the traditional wedding in Kongo is characterized as a crossbred body. Our interaction has been guided by the following words: body, wedding, resistance, family, society, state, church, identity, relationship and crossbreeding.

Text in German / Zusammenfassung
Die Predigten zur Parusie Jesu finden im Perikopenplan der Evangelischen Landeskirche
eine geringe Aufmerksamkeit. Die Thematik beschränkt sich auf das Ende, wie auf den
Anfang des Kirchenjahres, genauer gesagt auf den 2. Advent. Das Thema der Parusie Jesu ist
nicht unbedingt ein Hauptthema in der Predigtarbeit.
Aber die Parusie Jesu ist das Hauptziel des Glaubens der Christen.
Durch diese Arbeit soll der Predigtarbeit, sowie dem Thema der Parusie Jesu mehr
Beachtung geschenkt werden.
In dieser Arbeit wird die DDR Sozial- und Kirchengeschichte mit den Kurzbiographien der
Prediger vorgestellt. Diese sind zum Teil Hintergrundinformation für die Predigtanalysen.
Die Arbeit widmet sich einer Predigtanalyse zum biblischen Hintergrund und zum
historischen Hintergrund der DDR, um den Stellenwert der Parusie Jesu in den Predigten zu
erforschen.
Die Bewertung der Predigtpraxis und die Evaluation bilden den Abschluss der Arbeit.

Folkhemmets kyrka : Harald Hallén och folkkyrkans genombrott. En studie av socialdemokrati, kyrka och nationsbygge med särskild hänsyn till perioden 1905-1933 / A Church for a Social Democratic Nation : Harald Hallén and the emergence of the Swedish Folk Church. A study in Social Democracy, Church and Nation-building with specific interest in the period 1905-1933Claesson, Urban January 2004 (has links)
<p>This thesis explores aspects of what happened to the state Church of Sweden during the rise of the importance of public opinion and the evolution of the democratic nation state. Denmark provides the most well known Nordic example of how an old state Church became a democratic Folk (i.e. National) Church during this general transition. By comparing the Swedish with the Danish case, this study elucidates the less well known Folk Church ideology in Sweden. In Denmark a strong agrarian movement influenced by revivalism managed to take hold of public opinion making the state Church a part of the Danish national identity. Such a movement never appeared in the more industrialised Sweden. Instead a secular working class movement took hold of public and national opinion. The investigation is focused upon Harald Hallén (1884-1967), a pastor and a Social Democratic Member of Parliament. Lacking the revival elements of the Danish nationalism Hallén found that in order to get a Folk Church accepted within the secular Working class movement, it had to rest upon the heritage of the Enlightenment. Hallén regarded the Church as an expression of common ethical values within the Swedish nation. The Folk Church was supposed to strengthen existing ideals for a righteous socialist society by delivering the message of the Kingdom of God. Hallén strove to make the Church more democratic in order to express this ethical folk religion. Social Democratic nationalism became the dominant factor in Swedish political life between 1905 and 1933. The period was characterised by conflicts. First Hallén and those whom he represented fought against the Youth Church movement, which strove to establish another Folk Church ideology, by supporting the Swedish King against the rise of political Democracy. Later on, within his own Social Democratic party, Hallén fought his battle against the Marxist view of the state Church as a simple reflection of the dominant class. Hallén was in line with the political development, which resulted in a period of solid Social Democratic nation building from the 1930s onwards. From that decade on the Folk Church ideology of Hallén was established.</p>

Protestant minorities in the Soviet Ukraine, 1945--1991Kashirin, Alexander Urievich, 1963- 06 1900 (has links)
xiv, 934 p. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. / The dissertation focuses on Protestants in the Soviet Ukraine from the end of the Second World War to the collapse of the USSR. It has two major aims. The first is to elucidate the evolution of Soviet policy toward Protestant denominations, using archival evidence that was not available to previous students of this subject. The second is to reconstruct the internal life of Protestant congregations as marginalized social groups. The dissertation is thus a case study both of religious persecution under state-sponsored atheism and of the efforts of individual believers and their communities to survive without compromising their religious principles.
The opportunity to function legally came at a cost to Protestant communities in Ukraine and elsewhere in the USSR. In the 1940s-1980s, Protestant communities lived within a tight encirclement of numerous governmental restrictions designed to contain and, ultimately, reduce all manifestations of religiosity in the republic both quantitatively and qualitatively. The Soviet state specifically focused on interrupting the generational continuity of religious tradition by driving a wedge between believing parents and their children. Aware of these technologies of containment and their purpose, Protestants devised a variety of survival strategies that allowed them, when possible, to circumvent the stifling effects of containment and ensure the preservation and transmission of religious traditions to the next generation. The dissertation investigates how the Soviet government exploited the state institutions and ecclesiastic structures in its effort to transform communities of believers into malleable societies of timid and nominal Christians and how the diverse Protestant communities responded to this challenge.
Faced with serious ethical choices--to collaborate with the government or resist its persistent interference in the internal affairs of their communities-- many Ukrainian Evangelicals joined the vocal opposition movement that contributed to an increased international pressure on the Soviet government and subsequent evolution of the Soviet policy from confrontation to co-existence with religion. The dissertation examines both theoretical and practical aspects of the Soviet secularization project and advances a number of arguments that help account for religion's survival in the Soviet Union during the 1940-1980s. / Committee in charge: Julie Hessler, Chairperson, History;
