Church of Sweden tribute - En hyllning till Svenska Kyrkan

The Church of Sweden is a fully evangelical and fully catholic church that stands out among other historical protestant churches with having preserved and revived many of it’s pre-reformation customs and liturgy, most notably retaining both it’s episcopal structure and apostolic succession. Simply put it is a Lutheran church with a high church profile or as archbishop and Nobel peace prize lauterate Nathan Söderblom put it, the reformation was ”'church improvement' and a 'process of purification' which did not create a new church. As a national church, the Church of Sweden succeeded in bringing together medieval Swedish tradition with the rediscovery of the gospel which the Reformation brought with it.”
It plays a special historical role for our country as the so called ”people’s Church” or ”Church of the forefathers” that has accompanied us on the various steps in our lives for one thousand years now. It has proclaimed the love and good news of the gospel ever since and is very dear to us.
This compilation is a tribute to the Church of Sweden in general and it’s high church/evangelical catholic heritage in particular.
