 Managing Relationships with Secular InstitutionsMalcolm Torry
Chapter 12 in Managing Religion: The Management of Christian Religious and Faith-Based Organizations, 2014, pp 112-135 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract At the macro level, there is a deep relationship between the structures of society and that society’s religious history. Bäckström and Davie suggest that whereas national denominational structures used to relate closely to the State as an institution (particularly in the United Kingdom and in Scandinavia, though less so in other countries), the trend is now towards churches, both nationally and locally, relating to the institutions of civil society, and relating to the State alongside those other civil society institutions (Bäckström and Davie, 2010: 11). It has always been true that by their sheer existence the Churches are caught up in politics. It is a fact of history that once Churches have become a significant presence in the life of a particular society they have had to face the question of their relationship with those who exercise authority in that society.
