Ninna Edgardh – författare

Anna Karin Hammars och Ninna Edgardhs kärleksresa utspelar sig mot bakgrund av en omvälvande tid i Sverige gällande samkönade relationer: från den brottsklassificering som fortfarande gällde årtiondet innan de föds, via föreställningen om ”homosexualitet” som en sjukdom fram till könsneutral äktenskapslagstiftning och samtidens stolta Pridetåg. 

I boken Äkta makor delar de med sig av sina personliga resor som queerpersoner, skildrar initierat samhällets och kyrkans ibland motstridiga väg fram till en förändrad inställning till hbtq och gör också en vidare utblick med korta nedslag om situationen för hbtq-personer i andra delar av världen – och den backlash som blivit synlig under senare år.   "Vi märker att yngre vänner, och särskilt sådana som inte själva tillhör hbtq-gemenskapen, vet ganska lite om historien bakom den situation vi har i Sverige idag när det gäller samkönade relationer. Det är ett skäl till att vi skriver denna bok. Barnens och barnbarnens generation behöver veta hur vi tagit oss till den punkt där vi nu befinner oss. Annars blir det svårt att försvara rättigheterna när de hotas." - ur innehållet   Ninna Edgardh är präst och professor emerita i kyrkovetenskap och författare till böcker och artiklar med inriktning på kyrka, samhälle och kön.   Anna Karin Hammar är präst och teologie doktor och har arbetat på många nivåer i kyrkan, både i Sverige och internationellt.  

Historically, European churches have played a large part in the provision of welfare. Responsibility, however, has gradually shifted to the state - a shift that forms an integral part of the process of secularization and one that has been readily accepted by European populations. But what happens when the state itself begins to recede - a process that is occurring in most, if not all, European societies for a wide variety of reasons? The implications for welfare are considerable, not least for the role of the churches which begin to resume the responsibilities previously shed but in new and different ways. This book looks at the connections between religion and welfare in Europe, exploring in detail eight European societies - Finland, Norway, Sweden, England, Germany, France, Italy and Greece. The different theological traditions, different church-state relationships and different welfare regimes are all examined. The analysis is based on first hand empirical research which considers not only the changing situation on the ground, but attitudes towards this within a range of different constituencies - the churches, local government and the general public. Particular attention is paid to the significance of gender in both the process of change and in attitudes towards this. Welfare and Religion in 21st Century Europe: Volume 1 represents comparative research at its best and highlights key policy implications for the future. A companion book, Welfare and Religion in 21st Century Europe: Volume 2 explores thematically the changing nature of religion and welfare and the new relationships that are emerging between the religious and the secular, and between church and state in the 21st century.

Det här är en bok om allt det svårdefinierade som kan sammanfattas i ordet diakoni och den plats det har - och borde ha - i den kristna kyrkan.

Diakonins kyrka samlar hundratusentals arbetstimmar i tjänst för andra. Den stickar och syr, serverar soppa och höjer sin röst mot orättvisor. Det är en kyrka präglad av omsorg, en tjänande kyrka, som rör sig i marginaler som få väljer frivilligt. Därtill bärs den upp i huvudsak av kvinnor.

Författaren skriver tillgängligt om kön och teologi och om den kristna kyrkans ärende i vår tid. Bokens grundläggande budskap är att den kristna kyrkan har stora resurser i mötet med det som i boken kallas för omsorgens utmattning. Det handlar om en kris som hotar det som är basen i mänskligt liv, nämligen hur vi tar hand om varandra och den jord vi bebor. Men liksom omsorgen i samhället i stort underordnas i förhållande till sådant som betraktas som viktigare, mer statusfyllt och lönsamt, riskerar diakonin att marginaliseras inom kyrkan skriver Ninna Edgardh. Kristendomens glada budskap, evangeliet, omfattar hela människan och hela skapelsen. För att stå upp för det budskapet behöver kyrkan själv se och bejaka den skatt som diakonins kyrka utgör.

Boken är en del av serien Svenska kyrkans forskningsserie som publicerar kyrko- och samhällsrelevant forskning som har genomgått en peer review process.

”Jag tycker att boken är helt rätt i tiden, diakoni måste vara en del av kyrkans kall och budskap. Diakonins kyrka bör läsas av alla ledare i Svenska kyrkan, men även av alla som sysslar med diakoni." Karin Tallberg, Präst i Kiladalens församling

Den kyrkliga kartan i Sverige ritas ständigt om. Det ökar behovet av en ny bok om kristen gudstjänst. Den här boken tar sin utgångspunkt i dagens Sverige och den mångfald av gudstjänsttraditioner som förekommer. Utifrån vetenskapliga förhållningssätt till studiet av kristen gudstjänst presenteras här romersk-katolska, östkyrkliga, Svenska kyrkans, äldre frikyrkligheters och pentekostala gudstjänsttraditioner. Bokens olika författare behandlar gudstjänstens grundordning, dess aktörer och miljö och ger historiska tillbakablickar för att förklara dagens gudstjänster. Tematiska tvärkapitel om delaktighet, rumslighet, materialitet, musikaliska synvinklar och ekumenik är tänkta att uppmuntra till jämförande studier av de olika traditionerna. Författare: Stephan Borgehammar, Sven-Erik Brodd, Ninna Edgardh, Anders Ekenberg, Sune Fahlgren, Stina Fallberg Sundmark, Joel Halldorf, Britt-Inger Johansson, Mattias Lundberg, Mikael Löwegren och Mikael Sundkvist
