This thesis examines the regional part of the Church of Sweden. Existing as a Lutheran evangelical church since the declaration in Uppsala in 1593, the Church of Sweden became completely separate from the state in the year 2000. Apart from a small piece of legislation by the Swedish parliament, the now former state controlled church were to act on their own. This development can be seen as a result of several decades of discussions. The author is raising the question about the roll and function of bishops and dioceses in the Church of Sweden.

Svenska kyrkans ställning har onekligen förändrats under 1900-talet, framför allt under den senare delen av århundradet. Kyrkan går nu ett nytt århundrade till mötes genom att göra en del förändringar inom organisationen. Dessa förändringar berör riterna och traditionerna till en viss del men inte vad det gäller det innehållsmässiga utan nästan enbart den ekonomiska biten.Svenska kyrkan förlorar mark bland det svenska folket.* Vad ska man göra för att vinna tillbaka människan till kyrkan?* Kan detta genomföras om man förändrar och förnyar det kyrkliga innehållet t.ex. traditioner, riter m.m.?* Om en förändring krävs vad ska då förändras och vad ska vara kvar?* Hur når man en vettig förändring?.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka kommunikationen mellan skaparen av ett verk och betraktaren vad avser kyrklig, monumental konst. Med andra ord vill jag beskriva kyrkobesökarens tolkning av verket, ställt mot konstnärens avsikt. I detta syfte gör jag en fallstudie, en analys av altarfresken Kristi återkomst, vilken finns i Kastlösa kyrka och är utförd av Waldemar Lorentzon 1953-1954.Min metod är att ställa en beskrivning av hur fresken tolkas av mig själv utan föregående specialstudier (receptionen) mot en rekonstruktion av Lorentzons avsikter med verket (intentionen). Den första delen görs som en semiotisk analys. Den andra delen innehåller bl a studier av Lorentzons bibelstöd för fresken, en genomgång av texter av personer som talat med Lorentzon, en jämförelse med Lorentzons målning i Ryssby kyrka samt vidare en analys av skisser till fresken.

Stolen var historiskt en statusmarkör i både kyrklig och profan miljö, där utseende och material talade sitt tydliga språk. Idag är situationen annorlunda och stolens ställning förändrad. Som kyrklig föremålsgrupp är den relativt outforskad vilket var en bidragande faktor till det här arbetet. För att öka förståelsen har dess historiska status och användningsområden belysts, vilket kan påverka stolens bevarande. Studien bygger på resultaten från genomförda inventeringar i de fem sockenkyrkorna i Västra Storsjöbygdens församling, Jämtland.
