Ad Experimentum - En observation och analys av Andra Vatikankonciliets diakonatreform med särskild hänsyn till det förnyade diakonatets identitets- och legitimitetsproblematik.
(1998)- Abstract

It is up to the deacons, together with the theologians of the church to find a spirituality of the diaconate and also create an identity of the new order which can be embraced by the priesthood as well as the laity. Springing from the reform for the new diaconate, much tension has become evident between groups such as the priesthood and the diaconate, the celibacy and the married deacons, male and female deacons, the institutional and the charismatic order. Finally, the dissertation presents some controversial and much discussed models for the hierarchical structure of the church for the future.
As a background to the analysis, and for future aspects and perspectives regarding this subject, this work also describe the development of the modern diaconate movements from the beginninig, during and after the Second World War, to the gathering into one diaconate movement with the International Diaconate Centre in Rottenburg, Germany, as headquarters for the renewal of the diaconate in our time.
