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.

This book paves the way for a more enlarged discussion on religion and migration phenomena in countries of Northern and Southern Europe. From a comparative perspective, these are regions with very different religious traditions and different historical State/Church relations. Although official religion persisted longer in Nordic Protestant countries than in South Mediterranean countries, levels of secularization are higher. In the last decades, both Northern and Southern Europe have received strong flows of newcomers. From this perspective, the book presents through various theoretical lenses and empirical researches the impact mobility and consequent religious transnationalism have on multiple aspects of culture and social life in societies where the religious landscapes are increasingly diverse. The chapters demonstrate that we are dealing with complex scenarios: different contexts of reception, different countries of origin, various ethnicities and religious traditions (Catholics, Orthodox and Evangelical Christians, Muslims, Buddhists). Having become plural spaces, our societies tend to be far more concerned with the issue of social integration rather than with that of social identities reconstruction in society as a whole, often ignoring that today religion manifests itself as a plurality of religions. In short, what are the implications of newcomers for the religious life of Europe and for the redesign of its soul?

Per Pettersson är professor i religionssociologi vid Centrum för tjänsteforskning vid Karlstads universitet, och gästprofessor vid Centrum för forskning om religion och samhälle vid Uppsala universitet. Han har huvudsakligen forskat om majoritetsreligion och den religiösa situationen i Sverige, men också deltagit i flera internationella jämförande forskningsprojekt.Bokens syfte är att belysa och problematisera spänningen mellan Svenska kyrkans starka fokus på söndagens huvudgudstjänst, det sjunkande deltagandet i denna gudstjänstform, och den ökade efterfrågan på kyrkans tjänster inom andra områden, samt att därmed bidra till samtal och reflektion kring Svenska kyrkans identitet och dess medlemmars upplevelse av kyrkans identitet.Söndagens huvudgudstjänst har en central plats i Svenska kyrkans verksamhet och i officiella dokument som uttryck för kyrkans identitet. Men sedan lång tid tillbaka har deltagandet i söndagsgudstjänsterna successivt minskat, samtidigt som efterfrågan och behovet av kyrkans medverkan inom andra områden har ökat. När församlingar och kyrkans personal möter denna efterfrågan blir många överlastade med arbete, samtidigt som de kan uppleva att de misslyckas i sitt uppdrag genom att deltagandet i söndagsgudstjänsterna är lågt. De undersökningar som redovisas i boken visar att de enskilda kyrkomedlemmarna inte verkar se det låga deltagandet i huvudgudstjänsterna som ett problem, utan uttrycker tillfredsställelse med sitt medlemskap och betonar särskilt värdet av de gudstjänster man tar del av i samband med viktiga livshändelser, t.ex. dop och begravning. I boken diskuteras möjligheten att starkare betona dopet som Svenska kyrkans identitetsmarkör. Dopet skulle för flertalet av kyrkans medlemmar sannolikt fungera betydligt bättre än söndagens huvudgudstjänst som uttryck för såväl Svenska kyrkans identitet som den enskildes identitet som kyrkomedlem. Avsikten är inte att förringa betydelsen av gudstjänster som sådana, men stimulera till ett utvecklingsarbete där man tar tillvara forskningsresultat som belyser kyrkomedlemmarnas perspektiv på sin relation till kyrkan. Det sista kapitlet innehåller några samtalsfrågor utifrån bokens innehåll.
