First of all, we must understand that it is not man who finds the way to God by eventually working his way to Him. No, rather, it is God who finds His way to man’s heart. God begins early, already in baptism. We can never think highly enough of our baptism. In baptism I became a Christian, because in that moment I was met by God’s election. In the same way that God once chose Israel, in the same way that he again and again intervened in its history at definitive points with a decisive message, in the same way that He came down to earth in the person of Jesus Christ to go to the lost and once again establish the covenant with them - in the same way God has also in baptism broken into my life’s story, given me a share in the life of Christ, made a covenant with me, and said that He has chosen me for participation in His kingdom.

  • Fundamentalism and the Church Of
    I The Aim of this Book WHAT IS Fundamentalism? It is described in the Oxford English Dictionary (Supplement, 1933) as ‘a religious Movement which became active among various Protestant bodies in the United States after the war of 1914-18, based on strict adherence to traditional orthodox tenets (e.g. the literal inerrancy of Scripture) held to be fundamental to the Christian faith: opposed to liberalism and modernism.’ The Concise Oxford Dic- tionary attempts a definition: ‘the maintenance, in opposition to modern- Fundamentalism ism, of traditional orthodox beliefs such as the inerrancy of Scripture and and the literal acceptance of the creeds as fundamentals of Protestant Christian- Church of God ity.’ The word had certainly come into use in the United States by the year 1920. In The Christian Graduate (I.V.F., London) for March 1955, GABRIEL HEBERT, D.D. Dr Douglas Johnson gives an account of its origin, and says that it was probably coined by the editor of the New York Watchman-Examiner, who in his editorial for July 1st, 1920 describes as ‘fundamentalists’ those ‘who mean to do battle royal for the fundamentals’. As he goes on to show, the term ‘the fundamentals’ had been made familiar by a series of booklets which had been issued between 1909 and 1915. He gives an © Society of the Sacred Mission (Australia) interesting short summary of these, and I shall give in Chapter II an account of them in the context in which they appeared. For a time the term ‘Fundamentalism’ seems to have been accepted Reproduced by courtesy of the Society of the Sacred Mission.

  • How the Church Built the Swedish Model
    The Preferability of Consensus: How the Church Built the Swedish Model A European Case Study ANDERS BROGREN From heathendom to Christianity “A.D. 793. This year came dreadful fore-warnings over the of land the Northumbrians, terrifying the people most woefully: these were immense sheets of light rushing through the air, and whirlwinds, and fiery dragons flying across the firmament. These tremendous tokens were soon followed by a great famine: and not long after, on the sixth day before the ides of January in the same year, the harrowing inroads of heathen men made lamentable havoc in the church of God in Holy-island, by rapine and slaughter.” This entry from A.D. 793 in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle describes one of the first encounters between the Christian church and the Nordic peoples. It was not a happy one. The Vikings came as invaders from the sea. They were robbers on plundering expeditions. Soon they took power over England and Ireland. They extended their ravaging expeditions to France and even to the Mediterranean. However, the gospel was preached in the domain that was later named the Kingdom of Sweden by Ansgar (who was eventually made archbishop of Hamburg-Bremen). He was sent to Scandinavia by the emperor Louis the Pious, son of Charlemagne, around 830, and a second time around 850. Ansgar celebrated the mass amidst foreigners living in the small town of Birka, not far from today’s Stockholm. He preached the gospel and founded a small congregation. Sadly, it faded away after a few decades. Of far greater importance for the process of christianisation was the Viking emigration to the British Isles.

  • Liturgy and Spiritual Awakening
    Liturgy and Spiritual Awakening [ Home ] [ Articles ] [ Resources ] [ Lutheran Musician Enrichment ] [ Lutheran Hymnal Project ] [ Site Map ] [ Search ] Liturgy and Spiritual Awakening by Bo Giertz Translator’s Introduction It is an ancient and treasured custom in the Church of Sweden that when a new bishop is elected in any diocese of the country, he writes a pastoral letter intended in the first place for the ministers of the diocese. This "Herdabrev" is usually a very personal word of encouragement and pastoral counseling which serves to introduce the new bishop to his pastors and people. Sometimes the letter is brief and can be contained in a few printed pages but frequently the letter is long enough so that it becomes a book of considerable size. Anyone who wants to make a study of the history of the Church of Sweden cannot neglect the study of these pastoral letters because in almost every instance they mirror and reflect the current state of religion and become the interpretation of the leadership of the Church of the message of the gospel for the contemporary scene. It is obvious that a man elevated to the office of bishop will take this assignment seriously and give to the writing of the pastoral letter his ablest skill. The document is intended to express the incumbent's best literary exposition of his aspirations in the fulfillment of the episcopal task of proclaiming the message and directing the activity of the Church. Early in 1949 Pastor Bo Giertz was elected to the diocese of Gothenburg as bishop. Bishop Giertz was already known to all the church public of his country as well as to the wider public by a very large literary production, which has made him probably the outstanding writer of his time on religious questions.

  • Critical Currents 9.Indd
    critical This volume contains the presentations given at the Civil Courage in the International Arena seminar that took place at the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation on 10 June 2011. The seminar formed part of the activities to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of Dag Hammarskjöld. currents Attended by NGO activists, several of whom have harsh experience of what it means to show civil courage under duress, writers, diplomats and Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation academics, the seminar had as its purpose exploration of the interpretation Occasional Paper Series and practical expression of the concept of civil courage in today’s world with a view to strengthening ethical principles in the international arena. It is well known that ethical concerns were profoundly important to Dag Hammarskjöld, both as an individual and in his capacity as the foremost civil servant of the international community. This volume seeks to pay tribute to that abiding legacy. The seminar took place against the backdrop of the dramatic events we have come to dub the ‘Arab Spring’. Since then, however, many new developments have unfolded on the international political stage, not least in the Arab world. These papers should be read in light of the fact that they were written without the knowledge we possess today, a year later. The aim of this volume is to present inspiring perspectives and substantial analyses of both conceptual and practical matters related to civil courage. We hope the texts off er inspiration and insight to all those engaged in the international arena in the service of peace and justice. Defending the Critical Currents is an Occasional Paper Series published by the Rights of Others: Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation.
