In this essay I have tried to understand the relationship between the morning service and the ecclesiastical acts (dop, konfirmation, vigsel och begravning). Two scientists, professor Ninna Edgardh and bishop emeritus Sven Thidevall, has identified a gap between the morning service and ecclesistical acts. Edgardh is saying that they are isolated from each other and Thidevall is missing a common purpose. According to above I have tried to understand what two other scientists, bishop Fredrik Modéus and bishop Martin Modéus, says about services and worship communities. Is it possible to identify the gap Edgardh is talking about and the lack of a common purpose Thidevall are discussing. Further I have taken part of reports on national and regional (stift) level, reports based on local (församling) level. The reports are based on investigations about the baptism, one of two sacraments in the Church of Sweden. The investigations are done during the very last decade before and the two first decades after the millenium shift, when the change of relation between the Church of Sweden and the State of Sweden took place. The last report Dop i förändring is published in September 2019. Is it possible to identify what drives high rates of baptism. Finally I have done my own research in an webbased survey. I have asked vicars question what they are thinking about the relation between the morning service and the ecclesiastical acts. The analysis of the results shows that there is a post-colonial attitude concerning the morning service and the ecclesiastical acts. There are attitudes like superior and subordinated worship communities, attitudes challenges The Church of Sweden as a national church, open to everyone living in Sweden regardless of nationality.
