Ministry for Ecclesiastical Affairs
Ministry for Ecclesiastical Affairs (Danish: Kirkeministeriet) is a Danish government department. The main responsibility of the ministry is the government of the Danish National Church (Danish: Den Danske Folkekirke).
The office was created in 1916 when the post Kultus Minister was split up into the posts of Minister of Education and Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs. The new Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs also took over the responsibility for culture from the Kultus Minister. In 1961 responsibility for culture was transferred to the newly created Ministry of Cultural Affairs.
