Church

HIGH RISK: Svenska kyrkan (the historic state/folk church) uses ‘kyrka’ institutionally; Free churches (Frikyrkor — Pentecostal, Baptist, and Missionsförbundet-descended traditions, historically important minority movements that broke from the state church over exactly this ecclesiology in the 19th-century väckelserörelsen) prefer ‘församling’ to signal a gathered-believers ecclesiology distinct from Svenska kyrkan’s territorial parish model.
