Alan Littlewood. - ^; ., The Early History of the Roman Catholic Schools in Norway 1860-1924 Thesis for the Degree of Master of Education March 1983. ABSTRACT OF THESIS The first post-Reformation Roman Catholic parish in Norway was founded in Oslo in 1843 and a school was started soon afterwards. This and most subsequent Catholic schools in Norway were run primarily for the benefit of the Catholic community. With the advent of compulsory education in 1889, Mgr. Johann Fallize, who had taken over the leadership of the Norwegian mission in 1887, published detailed regulations governing the organisation of Catholic education in Norway. The sparseness of the Catholic population led to the founding of small uneconomical parish schools. Lack of investment meant that these had difficulty in keeping pace with the rapidly improving standards in public education. A drift of pupils away from the Catholic schools was partly discouraged by Fallize's policy of publicly excommunicating Catholic parents who sent their children elsewhere. In this Fallize was partly motivated by an over-zealous wish to conform to papal demands for separate schools for Catholics and partly by the danger he saw in the Lutheran denominational character of the Norwegian public schools. The failure of Catholic schools policy in Norway was due II. to the inherent weaknesses in Ultramontane ideas concerning the need for denominational schools for all Catholics, a factor which caused a decline in Catholic education in other countries at a later date. Thus an analysis of the history of the • Roman Catholic schools in Norway can cast light on important issues in the more general study of Catholic education and lead to a better understanding of its past, present and future role in a world which is moving towards state monopoly in education.

Preface The history of the Roman Catholic schools in Norway has, unfortunately, long been neglected and rarely been given the attention it deserves. This thesis is, however, more than an account of the development of the Catholic schools in Norway, or a study of the conditions under which their pupils and personnel worked, as it attempts to examine their problems in terms of a wider, international Catholic context. This is in strong contrast with the normal trend in the study of Norwegian church history, both Catholic and. Protestant, which is usually somewhat provincial and such an approach to Roman Catholic•studies is unfortunate, given that church's supra-national character and the international nature of the post-Reformation Catholic community in Norway. This broader view of church history is essential if the work of Bishop Fallize is to be seen in its true perspective. No treatment of any aspect of modern Norwegian Catholic church history can afford to ignore the importance of the . aims and personality of this man, who dominated the Catholic scene in Norway for over thirty-five years and v/ho set the pattern of church life within the Norwegian Catholic community for over, four decades after his retirement. So much did Fallize dominate the period under discussion in this thesis that a study of. the schools must inevitably centre around a discussion of Fallize's methods and ideas, A advantage of this broader view is the possibility it gives for a model for the study of Catholic school systems in other countries and for a examination of the present and vli. future, as well as the past aims and purpose of Catholic education in general. Although the aim has been to study the Catholic schools in Norway within a wider context than is usually the case, the author has, nonetheless, provided details of the Norwegian political, social and religious background to the period, where these are essential for an understanding of the general theme, or where these are unfamiliar to English- speaking readers. Acknowledqement s The writer wishes to thank all those who have helped to •J make the writing of this thesis possible. Particular thanks must go to Professor Gordon Batho of the School of Education of the University of Durham.

Welcome to the Tre Lag Stevne in South Saint Paul, Minnesota. We were last in the Twin Cities area in 2009 in this same location. In a metropolitan area of this size it is not as easy to see the results of the Norwegian immigration as in smaller towns and rural communities. But the evidence is there if you look for it. This year’s speakers will tell the story of the Norwegians who contributed to the richness of American culture through literature, art, architecture, politics, medicine and science. You may recognize a few of their names, but many are unsung heroes who quietly added strands to the fabric of America and the world. We hope to astonish you with the diversity of their talents. Our tour will take us to the first Norwegian church in America, which was moved from Muskego, Wisconsin to the grounds of Luther Seminary,. We’ll stop at Mindekirken, established in 1922 with the mission of retaining Norwegian heritage. It continues that mission today. We will also visit Norway House, the newest organization to promote Norwegian connectedness. Enjoy the program, make new friends, reconnect with old friends, and continue to learn about our shared heritage.

  • Og Kirkesynet Hos Eivind Berggrav Og Sigmund Feyling Under Krigsårene 1940-1945
    En sammenligning av stats- og kirkesynet hos Eivind Berggrav og Sigmund Feyling under krigsårene 1940-1945. Av Frida Sofie Øyen. Veileder Professor Øyvind Norderval Fordypningsoppgave i Teologi ved Det teologiske fakultet UNIVERSITETET I OSLO VÅREN 2019 II En sammenligning av stats- og kirkesynet hos Eivind Berggrav og Sigmund Feyling under krigsårene 1940-1945. III © Forfatter Våren 2019. Tittel: En sammenligning av stats og kirkesynet hos Eivind Berggrav og Sigmund Feyling under krigsårene 1940-1945. Forfatter Frida Sofie Øyen. http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Allkopi IV Sammendrag Denne oppgavens hensikt er å se på Eivind Berggrav og Sigmund Feylings ulike fremstillinger av stat og kirke som kommer frem i deres skrifter og hendelser under krigsårene 1940-1945. Dette gjøres blant annet ved hjelp av diskursanalyse. Noe av målet for denne oppgaven er å se på hvordan staten og kirken fremstilles ut fra Berggrav og Feylings ulike tilnærminger og ståsteder. I krigsårene står Eivind Berggrav på den norske motstandsiden og var biskop i Oslo da krigen kom til Norge. Sigmund Feyling var prest og medlem av Nasjonal Samling (N.S). Han ble ekspedisjonssjef i kirkedepartementet da N.S kommer til makten i Norge. Denne oppgaven vil altså ta for seg to forskjellige prester/teologer som stod på hver sin side av krigen. Noen av argumentene som denne oppgaven ser nærmere på, er for eksempel når Berggrav og Feyling argumenterer om kirken alltid skal være lydig mot staten eller ikke. Rom.:13 viser seg blant annet å være et viktig bibelsted for både Berggrav og Feyling, når det kommer til det de skriver om kirken og folket alltid skal være lydige mot staten eller ikke.

  • Paul Rowntree Clifford, "Christian Brethren and Nuclear War
    Christian Realism and Nuclear War PAUL ROWNTREE CLIFFORD HE DILEMMA facing Christians in relation to warfare is now more acute T than it has ever been. Up to the beginning of the nuclear age the Church had to reckon with the tension between those who saw in the New Testament a clear injunction to uncompromising pacifism, either on the grounds that killing or using force or both were wrong, and those who believed, with St. Augustine, 1 that in a fallen world conflict is inevitable and that it is the duty of the Christian to resist violence and aggression, even to the extent of being willing to take other lives should the need arise. To many, pacifism appeared to be an individualistic avoidance of political responsibility, only defensible as a quasi-monastic withdrawal from the world: a vocation perhaps for a few, but not a viable political policy which Christians could urge upon the state. Whatever the horrors of war, it was possible to argue on moral grounds that in certain circumstances it was right to take up arms, the foundation for this position being the doctrine of "the just war," for centuries an integral part of Catholic moral teaching. I. THE CONCEPT OF THE JusT WAR The invention of modern methods of mass destruction has created an entirely new situation which faces Christians with the challenge to rethink their position on a realistic basis. While individualistic pacifism is still likely to appeal only to a few, the majority of Christians look for a viable political policy which they can both defend and advocate; and this seems to be com­ pletely lacking.

  • The Church Struggle in Germany: “The Hope That We Have”
    The Church Struggle in Germany: “The Hope That We Have” “Faith and Fatherland: Parish Politics in Hitler’s Germany” by Kyle Jantzen (Fortress, 2008) “Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy A Righteous Gentile vs. The Third Reich” by Eric Metaxas (Thomas Nelson, 2010) “The Holy Reich: Nazi Conceptions of Christianity, 1919‐1945” by Richard Steigmann‐ Gall (Cambridge, 2003) Those who personally remember the Second World War are nearly gone. At this writing, at the beginning of 2011, no one with any memories of that period of world history is under the age of seventy-five. War veterans that survive today are more than eighty years old. Memories fade. People carry their own stories into the grave. It is now up to the historians and philosophers to help us explore and struggle with that terrible time in human history. As Lutherans, we need to continue to probe our own theology and culture in light of the German Nazi experience. How do we make sense of a time where in the most Lutheran country in the world, a philosophy arose that was responsible for the global disaster of World War II? We ask ourselves the tough questions. How could all of this have happened? Did Lutheranism shape the Nazi movement? Was the Lutheran community a willing accomplice to the Nazis in Germany, or were Lutherans (as was Dietrich Bonhoeffer) valiant resisters? Is Bonhoeffer popular in the post- war German church because he was typical of Lutheran anti-Nazi heroism, or did he prove the rule, by his life exception, that the Lutheran church in Germany was totally corrupt and compromised? Indeed, is Bonhoffer’s memory being abused by those who would look to the church as somehow an island of resistance in the sea of Gospel betrayal? Was the Lutheran Church in Germany as fascist as the Nazi regime? These questions, and many more, have been the subject of an entire field of historical studies for the past sixty years.

  • Cross-Scale Adaptation Challenges in the Coastal Fisheries: Findings from Lebesby, Northern Norway Jennifer J
    ARCTIC VOL. 63, NO. 3 (SEPTEMBER 2010) P. 338–354 Cross-scale Adaptation Challenges in the Coastal Fisheries: Findings from Lebesby, Northern Norway JEnnIFER J. WEST1.2 and GRETE K. HOVELSRUD1 (Received 24 July 2009; accepted in revised form 14 January 2010) ABSTRacT. Cross-scale adaptation challenges in the coastal fisheries in Lebesby municipality, Finnmark County, northern Norway are examined on the basis of fieldwork conducted there. Although fishery actors in Lebesby are aware of, experience, and describe a number of connections between climate variability and coastal fishing activities, they do not characterize their livelihoods as being particularly vulnerable to climate change. Nevertheless, they identify a range of social factors that shape the flexibility of coastal fishing activities and livelihoods to deal with changing environmental conditions. We argue that these factors, and actors’ perceptions of their own resilience, constitute important aspects of adaptive capacity and may challenge local responses to climate variability and change. We identified four adaptation arenas: local perceptions of vulnerability and resilience to climate change, Lebesby’s social and economic viability, national fishery management and regulations, and the markets and economy of coastal fishing. The adaptation arenas arise and interact across geographic and temporal scales, creating specific barriers and opportunities for local adaptation. Our findings suggest the need to pay close attention to the cross-scale adaptation challenges facing Arctic communities that depend on natural resources. The concept of adaptation arenas helps to illustrate these challenges and should be applied more widely. Key words: coastal fisheries, northern Norway, Barents Sea, vulnerability, adaptive capacity, climate change, local perceptions, coastal communities, adaptation arenas, scale RÉSUMÉ.

Justice Matningsdal: This case concerns a dispute as to whether Essand and Riast/Hylling Reindeer Pasturing Districts have common of pasture for their reindeer in privately owned unenclosed areas within the district boundaries in the Municipal Authority Area of Selbu in the county of Sør-Trøndelag. The areas in dispute The two districts were established by Royal Decree on 10 July 1894 under section 6 of what was called the Joint Lapp Act – the Act of 2 June 1883 concerning the Lapps in the United Kingdoms of Norway and Sweden. The districts have been retained unchanged under subsequent reindeer husbandry legislation. Riast and Hylling were originally separate districts, but for the last fifty or sixty years they have been considered and administered as one district. Essand covers an area of approximately 2,300 km2. In the east the boundary of the district follows the national border with Sweden. The southern boundary starts at the national border at Skardsfjellet [Mount Skard], and goes westwards from there to Lake Stugu in Tydal, where it follows the Rivers Tya and Nea to Lake Selbu, then follows the latter and the Rivers Tømra and Kleivåa over into the county of Nord-Trøndelag to the River Stjørdal, and thereafter follows the latter up through Hegra and Meråker back to the national border. Riast/Hylling covers an area of approximately 1,900 km2 and lies south of Essand.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 rnsse F 686 X c2I ABSTRACT The public sector of all western developed countries has become increasingly involved in financing health care during the past century. Today, thirteen OECD countries have passed landmark legislative reforms that call for compulsory prepayment and universal entitlement to comprehensive services, while most of the others achieve similar coverage through a mixture of public and private voluntary arrangements. This study carried out a detailed analysis of why, how and to what effect governments became involved in health care financing in eight of these countries. During the early phase of this evolution, reliance on direct out-of-pocket payment and an unregulated market mechanism for the financing, production and delivery of health care led to many unsatisfactory outcomes in the allocation of scarce resources, redistribution of the financial burden of illness and stabilisation of health care activities.

  • Orientering Om Utbygging Av Fiber Posanger-Adamselv-Tana.Pdf
    FIBERUTBYGGING FRA LAKSELV TIL TANA VIA ADAMSELV Lebesby kommune ble invitert til et møte med Statnett den 16. desember 2016. På møtet deltok aktører som Statnett, Statkraft, Ishavslink, Nornett, Eltele, Repvåg Kraftlag, Forsvaret, Lebesby og Porsanger kommune. Fra Lebesby kommune deltok Toril Svendsen. Statnett ønsket å drøfte interessen for å arbeide med fiberkabel fram til Adamselv hvor flere av disse aktørene har store og viktige installasjoner. Ulike modeller ble drøftet på møtet, og skissene under viser to av dem: Skisse 1: viser en løsning (rød linje) hvor deler av traséen Skisse 2 er en større utbygging (grønn linje) hvor følger strømledninger og går utenom flere av bygdene i også Børselv, Ifjord, Lebesby, Bekkarfjord, området (skisse Statnett). Vester-Tana er med (skisse Statnett). Deltakerne på møtet er interesserte i prosjektet, men for alle er trasévalg avgjørende for om man kan nyttiggjøre seg av fiberen. Etter møtet hadde vi klar fordeling av arbeidsoppgaver og tidspunkt, men av ulike årsaker er arbeidet forsinket, også fra Lebesby kommunes side. Lebesby kommune innkalte derfor aktørene til et telefonmøte den 10. mars for å gjøre opp status i saken. Etter møtet arbeider Statnett med å avklare hvor stor interessen er for å delta med egenfinasiering, og kommunen har engasjert konsulent Sigve Hansen Gusdal for å hjelpe til med søknad om statlige midler (Nkom-midler) til en slik utbygging. Kostnader med konsulentbruk vil dekkes i et spleiselag, og her kan næringsfondet brukes. Frist for offentliggjøring av prosjektet er 1. april, og søknad må sendes innen 3. mai. Det er kun kommunene som kan søke om Nkom-midler, og da må det også være fibertilknytning helt til sluttbrukerne (boliger, næringsbygg osv).
