The worship leader with other services should be raised to the skies for his pastoral care in this temple, today under the evangelical heading "One is necessary"

Särna Kyrka is an active church in Särna, Sweden. The church is in the middle of a very well-kept complex with many graves, some of which are old. The whole garden area gives a feeling of calm and peace. Right next to it you can also visit the Särna Gammelkyrka, the ancestor of the new church, which is very worthwhile.

Historic Site of the week

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
