It should be remembered that the Swedish Lutheran Church is, essentially, a political body whose officers are chosen in the same way as the Swedish Parliament. Even though they were formally separated from the State in 2000, they are still in most respects a state religion that holds the secular political order higher than God.

“Ecumenical” dialogue may be useful, but the goal must be that of conversion. There are many hurting souls, including perhaps many clergy, that need a way forward, which in a “church” that has so obviously abandoned the Gospel, is necessarily a way out.
