THE CHURCH Until the middle of the nineteenth Century all Danish subjects had to belong to the Lutheran Church; Catholics, Reformists and Jews, however, had a right to live in certain towns. By the Constitutional Act of 1849, however, religious liberty was introduced into Denmark, and, in consequence, compulsory baptism was subsequently expressly abolished, while civil forms of marriage and burial were allowed. In the Constitution, however, it is still laid down that the Lutheran Church is the established Church of Denmark and that it shall be supported by the State. Likewise, laws regarding the Church are passed by the Crown and Parliament in the same manner as all other laws. Church legislation during the past fifty years has been strongly marked by its great respect for religious liberty. Among the provisions of the Acts in question the following may be mentioned: Nobody is obliged to accept the ministrations of the incumbent of the parish to which he belongs; free congregations may be formed to choose and pay their own clergyman without being regarded as having left the established Church, whose church buildings they have the right to use; finally, free congregations may be formed outside the established Church, with full liberty as to public worship and creed. In the established Church each parish elects a congregational council, which governs the church property of the parish, and exercises a certain influence on the arrangement of services and the education of the young in religious knowledge; the councils also have a certain voice in the appointments to the clerical offices, which otherwise are in the hands of the Government. The country is divided into 9 bishoprics, and the 9 bishops, with a number of deans, supervise the parish clergymen, of which there are about 1,300 altogether. The congregational councils have also a certain influence in the appointment of bishops. Clergymen must, as a rule, have taken a theological degree at the University; they are paid out of a fund established on the basis of the former church lands and the old tithes as well as voluntary parish contributions, all of which have now been commuted. The number of persons in Denmark who are not members of the established Church was, at the time of the last census, 70,000. The religious communities outside the Lutheran Church which are most strongly represented in Denmark are the Catho lics, Reformists, Jews, Methodists, Baptists and Irvingites. The first four of these are recognised by the Government and thus have the right to solemnise marriages which are valid according to Danish law. Of late years the Roman Catholic Church, especially, has carried on considerable propaganda in Denmark and owns several churches, convents and charitable institutions. |
