  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2017
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2017 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation.

  • Post-Secular Religion and the Therapeutic Turn
    INGVILD SÆLID GILHUS Post-secular religion and the therapeutic turn Three Norwegian examples he focus of this article is three contemporary Norwegians, who claim that Tthey communicate with superhuman beings and/or promote therapeutic practices based on superhuman intervention. They come from different walks of life: Margit Sandemo is a best-selling author and housewife; Joralf Gjerstad is now retired, but was a dairy assistant and a bell-ringer in the local church; Märtha Louise is a princess and trained as a physiotherapist and Rosen ther- apist. They can be seen as personifications of contemporary religious dis- courses in contemporary Norway. What sorts of religion do they promote? How do they relate to the Church? How do they reflect the situation of post-secular religion in Norway?1 Margit Sandemo Margit Sandemo was born in 1924. She is one of Scandinavia’s most popular authors. Sandemo started writing novels when she was about forty years old. To begin with they were run as serials in magazines, later they were both seri- alised and published as books. She has written 172 novels, been translated into nine languages and sold about 40 million copies of her books, mainly across Scandinavia. The novels belong to the genre of historical fantasy and pulp fiction. A journalist in the Guardian describes her as ‘Scandinavia’s answer to Barbara Cartland, just with more magic and monsters. And sex.’ (Guardian 23.6.2008) Margit Sandemo published her autobiography, Livsglede (The joy of life) in 2010. Sandemo’s parents were a local Norwegian author and a Swedish coun- tess.
