List of churches in Bjørgvin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Map of Church of Norway deaneries in Vestland county, Norway

The list of churches in Bjørgvin is a list of the Church of Norway churches in the Diocese of Bjørgvin in Norway. It includes all of the parishes in Vestland county. The Diocese is based at the Bergen Cathedral in the city of Bergen in Bergen Municipality.

The list is divided into several sections, one for each deanery (prosti; headed by a provost) in the diocese. Administratively within each deanery, the churches within each municipality elects their own church council (fellesråd). Each municipality may have one or more parishes (sokn) within the municipality. Each parish elects their own councils (soknerådet). Each parish has one or more local church.[1]

The number and size of the deaneries and parishes has changed over time. The Laksevåg prosti (created in 1990) in Bergen was dissolved in 2013 and its churches were divided between the Bergen domprosti and the Fana prosti. Also in 2013, the old Ytre Sogn prosti was dissolved. The old deanery included Gulen, Solund, Hyllestad, Høyanger, Balestrand, and Vik municipalities. The municipalities of Gulen and Solund were transferred to the Nordhordland prosti, which includes the northern municipalities in the old Hordaland county. Hyllestad and Høyanger were transferred to Sunnfjord prosti, and Balestrand and Vik were merged with the old Indre Sogn prosti and it was renamed Sogn prosti.[2]

In 2014, the Midhordland prosti was dissolved and its churches were divided between Fana prosti and Hardanger og Voss prosti.[3][4] Also in 2014, the parishes in nearby Osterøy Municipality were transferred from Nordhordland prosti to the Arna og Åsane prosti.[5] At that time, its name could have been changed to "Arna, Åsane and Osterøy deanery" but that was considered to be too long a name. In 2015, the Norwegian Department of Culture changed the name to Åsane prosti.[6]

In 2017, the diocese created a new deanery called Bergensdalen prosti to help relieve the work in the large deaneries in the city of Bergen.

Bergen domprosti

[edit]

This arch-deanery (Norwegian: domprosti) covers the central part of the city of Bergen. The deanery is headquartered at the Bergen Cathedral in the city of Bergen in Bergen Municipality.

The Bergen domprosti has been in operation for a long time. In 1990, the large Bergen domprosti was split into four deaneries: Arna og Åsane prosti in the northeast, Fana prosti in the south part of the city, Laksevåg prosti in the west part of the city, and Bergen domprosti in the city centre. In 2013, the old Laksevåg prosti was dissolved and the parishes of Laksevåg, Nygård, Loddefjord, and Olsvik were moved back into this deanery (the remainder of the old Laksevåg prosti became part of Fana prosti).[3]

Sunnhordland prosti

[edit]

This deanery (Norwegian: prosti) covers several municipalities in the southwestern part of the diocese. It includes the parishes in the municipalities of Bømlo, Etne, Fitjar, Kvinnherad, Stord, Sveio, and Tysnes.

Sometime after the Reformation in Norway, the parish was divided into Nordre Søndhordland prosti (the modern municipalities of Kvinnherad, Stord, Fitjar, and Tysnes) and Søndre Søndhordland prosti (the modern municipalities of Etne, Sveio, and Bømlo). A royal resolution on 19 May 1922 changed the deanery names from "Nordre Søndhordland prosti" to "Nordre Sunnhordland prosti" and "Søndre Søndhordland prosti" to "Sør-Sunnhordland prosti".[9] On 1 January 1972, the present Sunnhordland prosti was established when the old Nordre Sunnhordland prosti and Sør-Sunnhordland prosti were merged.
