4. Photo Competition award ceremony
5. Religious Heritage Innovator of the Year award ceremony
Welcome to Lund!
Religious heritage is a fundamental part of Europe’s cultural landscape. Buildings, traditions and artefacts from different religions tell us about our past and how our identity and values have been forged over time. Yet, all this cultural wealth faces a major challenge: sustainability.
Every year, thousands of churches, synagogues, mosques and other religious buildings are threatened by abandonment, disrepair, lack of financial resources, environmental factors, the decline of religious communities, lack of support from local communities and governments, neglect, and many other problems. As UNESCO and ICOMOS have stated, guaranteeing the sustainability of this heritage is key to passing on to future generations an essential part of our culture.
The 2023 FRH Biennial Conference will bring together representatives from heritage organisations, researchers, policy-makers and experts from different fields to help shed light and stimulate the debate on how to address these challenges and present some examples of good practice. In order to examine sustainability in the most comprehensive way, we have structured the conference around four interconnected sub-themes: economic sustainability, ecological sustainability, cultural/spiritual sustainability and social sustainability.
It is no coincidence that the venue for this conference is Lund, a flourishing religious centre in the 11th century that became the seat of the archbishop of the Scandinavian countries in 1103. Lund Cathedral still bears witness to that glorious era and is an example of evolution and adaptation to the new times.
We thank our local partner the Diocese of Lund (Church of Sweden), also a founding member of FRH, for their support in organising the conference.
Let’s make this an inspiring and fruitful event!
Pilar G. Bahamonde, President of FRH
Lilian Grootswagers, President of the FRH Advisory Board
Greetings from the Diocese of Lund
The Church of Sweden and in particular the Diocese of Lund welcome you to the 6th Biennial Conference. It is with joy, enthusiasm and pride that we arrange this gathering together with FRH, Future for Religious Heritage. After many years of digital meetings and restrictions regarding physical meetings it is extra important and rewarding to meet each other again, face to face.
The Diocese of Lund is one of thirteen dioceses in the Church of Sweden. We are situated in the far south, right next to continental Europe. Our region has been inhabited since thousands of years. The close communication with Europe has been, and still is, a given. Knowledge, culture and faith has been imported and exported. The FRH conference 2023 is a natural part of this continuous exchange and interplay between Europe’s different regions.
The theme for our conference is European Sustainable Religious Heritage. The choice of theme was a joint decision made by the FRH and the Diocese of Lund. The work with sustainability has a high priority in the Church of Sweden particularly since the publication of A Bishops’ Letter About the Climate in 2014. The Church of Sweden roadmap for the climate aims for a climate neutral church in 2030.
Spiritual and existential aspects are highlighted in the church’s sustainability work. We hope that the conference provides us all with both the insight and the inspiration that is necessary in order to hand on our common European cultural heritage to future generations.
The Covid pandemic and the ongoing war in Ukraine has shown that the issues concerning sustainability run deeper and are more current than we could have guessed. The religious heritage is vulnerable and at the same time carries a potential for large and small communities. Let us discuss the difficult challenges at hand and feel strengthened when we return home.
Welcome to Lund!

Sámi music performance by Elin Teilus
Music has an unparalleled power to evoke feelings. The music of the Sámi people is one of the clearest examples to be found in Sweden. The Sami traditional way of singing, yoik, is a way of remembering life, like a hymn to living beings, be they humans, animals or nature itself.
Unlike many other types of music, yoiks do not always have a pre-defined musical structure; they can be both, have a definite form, or be improvised. They rely heavily on the singer for the tone, rhythm and message, driving the listener through their inner world.
Elin Teilus is a Sámi singer, yoiker and artist with roots far north in Sápmi. Elin is a touring artist in music and theatre in Sweden and abroad, including for example performances for the Sámi Parliament, and the Swedish Parliament on National television and radio. She is described as a force of nature, with a unique presence and a magical voice, a bringer of the beautiful traditional music of the Sámi into new realms. At the heart of her artistry is the love of the Earth and all living beings.
FRH is overwhelmed to have Elin who will captivate the ears and hearts of our audience with her exceptional voice at the opening of the Conference and in two performances at our Conference dinner.
At the morning performance, Elin will be accompanied by her pianist, Rickard Åström. Rickard is a double Grammy-awarded pianist with roots in world music as well as improvisation and has toured around the globe at international music encounters.
At the Conference dinner, Rebecca Meiselbach will perform with Elin on percussion, piano and guitar. Rebecca brings with her an array of drums and magical sounds, and together they will invoke both the earth and the stars.

Photo Competition awards ceremony
The FRH Photo Competition is an annual contest open to amateur and professional photographers to showcase the beauty, diversity and unique character of places of worship.
The 2022 edition demonstrated once again the great scope of this FRH activity. We are very grateful for the 260 inspiring photographs received from more than 30 countries from all corners of the world!
From the stunning sunset over the Cathedral in Silves (Portugal), to the powerful vision of the botafuimero swinging in the Santiago Cathedral (Spain), or the intimate moment of a man praying at a mosque in Dhaka (Bangladesh), the scenes immortalised by the winner and finalists of the last edition of the competition demonstrate that religious heritage is very alive and makes an essential part of societies around the world.
During the awards ceremony of the Photo Competition, we will have the opportunity to see the best photographs of 2022 and hear the story behind the winning photo from its author, André Boto.
Be sure to check the Photo Competition booklet for a delightful visual journey through religious heritage sites and traditions.

Lund Cathedral, one of the oldest in Scandinavia
No other building in Lund attracts as much attention as the Cathedral. The construction of Lund Cathedral began in 1080, when the city was already an important religious centre in Scandinavia. Shortly afterwards it became the seat of the bishop of the Nordic Countries. It is one of the oldest cathedrals in this latitude. Its Romanesque features remain latent along with elements added in later restorations and works.
One of the most distinctive features of the cathedral are its two towers, erected during extensive restoration work in the 19th century.
The crypt of the Cathedral is one of the best examples of medieval architecture in the Nordic Countries. One of its pillars features a figure of a man embracing the column. Popular tradition identifies him as the giant Finn, a legendary character linked to the construction of the Cathedral.
Another highlight of the cathedral is the astronomical clock located next to the entrance. The clock was built in the 15th century. In addition to the hours of the day, it also marks the lunar phases, the signs of the zodiac and the days of the week.
The legend goes that the monk in charge of the construction of the Cathedral asked Finn, a giant troll, for help. The giant accepted with one condition: before the Cathedral was finished, the monk would have to guess his name. If not, he would have to bring him the sun, the moon or his own eyes. It happened by chance that the monk heard the wife of the troll singing a lullaby to their child and caught his name: Finn. The monk returned to the Cathedral and cried out the name of the troll, who was about to set the last stone. Upon hearing its name, the troll became enraged and went to the crypt to tear down the building, but before he could do so, he and his family turned to stone.
All Saints’ Church, a privilege venue for our conference dinner
Our conference dinner will take place at the 19th-century Church of All Saints, a stunning neo-gothic building just a 10 minute walk from the Cathedral and our Conference venue. A wonderful opportunity for participants to meet, exchange ideas, and explore this church!
To liven up the evening, the conference dinner will be accompanied by an organ music demonstration and two performances by Sámi singer Elin Teilus. As host of the conference, the Bishop of Lund, Johan Tyrberg, will also address the participants.
We hope you enjoy it!
