Trossamfund

Religious communities (trossamfund) are organised religious congregations, and the Church of Sweden has since the year 2000 been one community among others. It means that different religious communities are basically treated in a similar way. The concept concerns how religion is organised in society, and it reflects the relationship between the state and religious communities after the earlier special status ended.
