Abstract [en]

Social innovation – referring to the development and implementation of new social practices

to improve the quality of life, well-being, relations and empowerment of individuals

and communities – shares similarities with the diaconal work performed as part of Christian

social practices and the welfare services provided by Christian communities and parishes.

Based on the results from a study of innovative social practices in the Church of Sweden,

this article scrutinizes the character of a selection of historical and contemporary examples

of social innovation in the Church, in order to further develop the knowledge of how to develop

new forms of diaconal work related to welfare services as the societal context changes.

By pinpointing the content, process, empowerment, innovation and normativity of social

innovation, the analysis highlights pivotal components in the transition from social exclusion

to social inclusion in the Church’s specific settings.
