Liturgi og tekster mellem statskirke og folkekirke: Fra 1830’erne til 1890’erne

Resumé

Summary
Bishop J.P. Mynster’s Draft for a Service Book and a Church Ritual from 1839 has been of significant importance from the 1830s to the
1890s. It concerns the presentation of a second column of texts from 1885 and the revision of the ritual in the 1890s. Bishop J.P. Mynster’s work from 1839 has been a source of inspiration for the liturgical debate, especially after 1870. But the liturgical debate after 1840 still needs a follow-up study which can continue professor C. Th. Engelstoft’s history of liturgy (1840).
During the winter 1879-80 The Clerical Convention of Roskilde begins work on a new column of texts. Apparently, inspiration has been drawn from Mynster’s textproposal for a service book, 1839. The Clerical Convention of Roskilde collaborates with The ecclesiatical Convention of Copenhagen and The Clerical Convention of Southern Jutland. The Roskilde Convention appoints a committee by archdeacon C. Rothe, dean J. Paludan-Müller, rector Johs. Clausen (bishop from 1884) and professor P. Madsen. Presumably, they have known and used bishop Mynster’s proposal from 1839 which was published. In any case the texts selected by Mynster are of crucial importance. In fact, 38 of the 66 texts in Mynster’s proposal – 58% in all – conincide with the final 1885 selection of texts for the second column.
