Abstract

To what extent do Norwegian ministers deal with social-ethical issues in their sermons? While we examine the frequency of such topics in this article, we primarily explore the potential determinants of their priorities in discussing these issues: their individual backgrounds, their ethical and political orientations, the local parish characteristics and the ministers’ sources of inspiration in preparing sermons. The results shows that different ethical orientations appear to be largely unrelated to the frequency of addressing social-ethical issues. Experiences in nature are the most important source of inspiration. The school at which the minister was trained has a significant impact on frequency, while political orientation has a very weak influence. Different parish characteristics—affluence and level of social challenges—and the age and marital status of the clergy do have an impact on which issues are given priority. The minister’s gender and geographical location both have no effect.

挪威教会普尔皮特的伦理学:社会伦理问题的自我报告调查
挪威的部长们在布道中在多大程度上处理社会伦理问题?在本文中,我们考察了此类主题的频率,同时主要探讨了他们在讨论这些问题时优先考虑的潜在决定因素:他们的个人背景、道德和政治取向、当地教区特征以及牧师在准备布道时的灵感来源。研究结果表明,不同的伦理取向似乎在很大程度上与解决社会伦理问题的频率无关。大自然的经验是最重要的灵感来源。部长接受培训的学校对频率有很大影响,而政治取向的影响非常微弱。不同的教区特征——富裕程度和社会挑战程度——以及神职人员的年龄和婚姻状况确实会影响哪些问题被优先考虑。部长的性别和地理位置都没有影响。
