| Summary: | From the perspective of sociology of religion, the Danish churches abroad are similar to other migrant congregations, primarily by caring for broader social and cultural needs among the members of the congregation than what is usually the case in the home country. Abroad, the Danish churches are ethnic minority churches, and I analyse their demographic development on the basis of a new, general model for migrant congregations. On the basis of this model I argue that like other immigrant congregations the Danish churches abroad have to consider the issue of assimilation and the issue of proselytising. These issues are decisive for the long-term survival of the congregations and their position in the Danish model of religion. Fra et religionssociologisk perspektiv ligner de danske udlandskirker først og fremmest andre migrantmenigheder ved, at de dækker bredere sociale og kulturelle behov blandt menighedens medlemmer, end hvad der normalt er tilfældet i hjemlandet. I udlandet er de danske kirker etniske minoritetskirker, og deres demografiske udvikling bliver analyseret med udgangspunkt i en ny, generel demografisk model for migrantmenigheder. Ud fra modellen kan man argumentere for, at de danske udlandskirker er tvunget til at forholde sig til nogle helt centrale spørgsmål, som gælder alle migrantmenigheder, nemlig spørgsmålet om assimilation og spørgsmålet om mission. Svarene på disse spørgsmål er afgørende for menighedernes overlevelse på længere sigt og deres placering i den danske religionsmodel |
