List of churches in Sør-Hålogaland

This list of churches in Sør-Hålogaland is a list of the Church of Norway churches in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland which includes all of Nordland county in Norway. The diocese is based at the Bodø Cathedral in the town of Bodø.

Map of the church deaneries in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland.

The list is divided into several sections, one for each deanery (prosti) in the diocese. Each prosti is led by a provost (prost). Administratively within each deanery, the churches are divided by municipalities which have their own church council (fellesråd). Each municipal church council may be made up of one or more parishes (sokn), each of which may have their own council (soknerådet). Each parish may have one or more congregations in it.[1]

Bodø domprosti

This arch-deanery (Norwegian: domprosti) is home to the Bodø Cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. Bodø domprosti covers the five municipalities of Bodø, Gildeskål, Meløy, Røst, and Værøy. The deanery is headquartered at Bodø Cathedral in the town of Bodø. The deanery was created in 1901 when it was split off from the old Søndre Salten prosti. The deanery was upgraded to an arch-deanery in 1952 when the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland was created.[2][3]

gollark: I'm probably going to need to implement some kind of thing where it checks to see if a page has been updated since it was fetched when you actually *view* it.

gollark: I see.

gollark: Mine uses a simple bodged-together RPC interface, because I find REST kind of uncool.

gollark: Mine is a... not horrendously complex but still a bit annoying... Mithril-based SPA.

gollark: That's more advanced than my implementation, which just prefetches *all* the relevant data when you hover it at all, but OH WELL.
