Leafing through the Wikipedia entries on the archbishops of Uppsala - as one does before dealing with taxes - I decided that the zenith of Lutheran clerical vestment chic was achieved by Yngve Brilioth ( 1950 - 58). His successors have looked indistinguishable from their Anglican communion counterparts.

#ChurchOfSweden apologizes, embarks on reconciliation with #Indigenous #SámiPeople

Apology comes as government [of #Sweden] continues to fight #Sámi communities in court

by John Last · CBC News · Posted: Nov 27, 2021

"In #Uppsala Cathedral, the heart of Swedish Christianity, Archbishop Antje Jackelén sat this week before a circle of Sámi leaders in traditional dress and the television cameras of Sweden's state broadcaster, listing the past crimes of her church.

"'You have told us about forced Christianization and Swedish #colonialism. Sámi culture was denied,' Jackelén said, in Swedish. 'Today, we acknowledge this and, on behalf of the Church of Sweden, I apologize.'

"Wednesday's apology service in Uppsala, the culmination of more than 30 years of discussions and advocacy, marked a major step forward for reconciliation in Sweden, where the Indigenous Sámi people continue to fight for self-determination and recognition of past wrongs committed by church and state.

"Having studied the Canadian experience of reconciliation, church and Sámi figures alike emphasized that the apology must be followed by concrete actions, and came with no expectation of forgiveness."

Sweden's 'internet priest' Charlotte Frycklund accused of betraying the Bible.

Frycklund, a theology buff, runs the official social media accounts of the Church of Sweden, an Evangelical Lutheran church that was formerly the state church. Her regular messages of support for transgender people have provoked diverse reactions.
