Church Reform and Leadership of Change

Church Leadership & Ministry

“National Protestant Churches are challenged from below and from above, and from all sides, to adopt to the modern management standards of theirs societies. Is this what the continuing reformation of Protestant churches should look like? The analyses in these well-researched papers are critical but also aware of the dilemmas facing the churches.”

History & Biography

“Working in a culturally homogeneous nation with a national church puts a social revival movement like Salvation Army under pressure. At one hand, it must enculturate itself in the national culture. At the other hand, it cannot end up as just another part of that culture. Using the recent development in Norway as a test case, Lydholm tells the fascinating story of how salvationists cope with this challenge in Nordic Countries.”
