The purpose is to be ourselves, not to change one another but to understand one another…” (No. 1) The main aim of this thesis was to generate the needed knowledge on how interfaith organizations cooperate in their social work to aid help seekers despite the religious differences they may have, as well as to identify the obstacles the interfaith workers face in their cooperation. In addition, this thesis will also discuss the help seekers’ personal opinions concerning the help they get from the interreligious organizations. This research is a qualitative research with a case study design, based on materials collected from eighteen people by the use of semi-structured materials. The eighteen people have been represented by four leaders, two project leaders, one employee, four volunteers and seven help seekers. Both deductive1 and inductive2 methods were used in processing the themes used in this research. The research ethic has been considered in this paper. Both the social capital theory and the Allport’s intergroup contact theory were used in this thesis. These theories and former existing research helped in choosing the predetermined themes and in analyzing the results from the collected data which are: Religion and Freedom of religion, Common Goals, Respect- Understanding and acceptance, Responsibility and mission’s orientation, Neutral place, Interreligious dialogue, Applicable working platform, Complementary religion, Political view. The results of this thesis showed that the interfaith organizations can work as a compliment to one another in order to make the society work. This paper showed that interfaith organizations need to create common mutual norms with different roles in order to make the cooperation work. The common goals need to be very clear for both parties and additionally the structure of the system was very complex to explain to others or to introduce to the new workers. Furthermore, this thesis showed that there are people against interfaith cooperation for different reasons. Some of the obstacles the interfaith workers faced during their cooperation will be described more in the analysis part. Some of the barriers were fear 1 Predetermined themes chosen with the help of theory 2 Themes resorted from the collected data through coding. 3 from both the church members and the Stockholm Mosque on how the organization will run, which changes and consequences the church members will face and so forth. One of the interfaith organization leaders invited someone from outside the organization who gave a speech that didn’t align with their norms. They had cases which were forced to be taken up with the help of lawyers. It requires time to create and implement a functioning common structure. The common goal was not very clear for both parties and the system were very complex to explain to others or to introduce it to the new workers. Given the demographics, the volunteers had more extensive work experience and were mission oriented, which made them tend to focus on their commitments. The help seekers were very thankful concerning the help they got and wanted to do the same for others. The creation of trust through bonding and bridging was the central element or principles in this thesis, which are the keys to making the interfaith cooperation run.

Introduction It is becoming more common to witness different religions unite together in social work in order to help the needy. This does not mean that religions are changing their symbols or religious people are changing their beliefs and faith in order to cooperate with one another, rather that they are finding ways in which they can collaborate in social work and help the needy. This is very necessary because religion can be used to create violence, as stated by several researchers (Gärde, 2014, McGuire, 2002, Geels & Wikström, 2017). The interfaith organizations get together for a mission, not to change one another’s faith, which can cause misunderstanding and conflicts among one another. A number of the religious interviewees were raised in their faith, and chose to follow in their parent’s commitment to their religion because they believe it to be true. Within these interreligious organizations are people of all levels of faith, from the very religious believers to non-believers. In Sweden specifically, the religions of Islam, Evangelical Lutheran church, and Catholicism are coordinating together in social work to help immigrants, which is surprising given Sweden’s traditionally secular society and history. Sweden has moved from being a monopoly state church to pluralism due to different factors 3. The Good Neighbors and God’s House are two organizations that provide examples of interreligious organizations working together in order to help the needy in Sweden. Their efforts with uniting people from different groups to help vulnerable populations in society provided a framework on what it takes for interreligious collaboration to make it work. This thesis will therefore generate the needed knowledge on interfaith organizations’ cooperation in their social work to aid help seekers despite religious differences they may have, as well as identify the obstacles the interfaith workers face in their cooperation. In addition, this thesis will also discuss the help-seekers’ personal opinions concerning interreligious4 cooperation and the help they are getting. The entirety of this paper will therefore focus on: interfaith cooperation, factors that make the collaboration work and remain sustainable, the difficulties the organizations or the people who work in the organizations face, and the advantages of interreligious cooperation. The survey in this thesis was conducted with people working in two different interreligious organizations known as “Guds Hus5”, which means “God’s House”, and “Goda Grannar6”, which means “Good Neighbors”. The God’s House organization was founded in 3 The history of Sweden and the role of secularization in Sweden will be explained shortly under point 2.
