Archbishop Antje Jackelén is retiring in autumn 2022. At a service on Sunday 30 October, she will lay down the staff and cross, which will be passed on to the next archbishop.

Även om verksamheten i Västerås domkyrka i år är reducerad, genomförs visningar i traditionell sommaranda. Och i vanlig ordning är alla visningar gratis!

Get married in Meänkieli, be baptised in Southern Sami or be confirmed in Finnish - from Whit Sunday, 31 May, you can do any of this anywhere in the Church of Sweden. The Church’s Book of Worship, translated into Sweden’s five minority languages - Finnish, Meänkieli, Northern Sami, Lule Sami and Southern Sami - is used.

In competition with big and well-known building projects such as the New National Museum and Malmö Market hall by Wingårdhs, as well as the dwelling 79 & Park by Bjarke Ingels Group, the small-scale studio dwelling in Hamra on the island Gotland was awarded the Kasper Salin Prize for 2018. Architect Anna Chavepayre, Collectif Encore, and the commissioners Birgitta and Staffan Burling received Architects Sweden’s oldest and most prestigious award at the Architectural Gala on March 19th.

On 31 October, it will be 500 years since Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of All Saints’ Church (more commonly referred to as Castle Church) in Wittenberg. It will be celebrated for a whole week, with divine services, newly composed music, public lectures and other events where the significance of the Reformation for Sweden will be in focus.

The review group for the Book of Worship concluded its final meeting today. The final draft of the revised Book of Worship will be submitted to the Central Board of the Church of Sweden later in the spring. “We have now produced a draft version of the Book of Worship for the whole of the Church of Sweden, a practical book designed to work well in all churches, ranging from big cathedrals to small chapels. We think we have produced a good draft version that the whole of the group stand behind,” says Chair of the review group, Bishop Emeritus Esbjörn Hagberg.

- We are now ready to state publicly that Catholics and Lutherans are on their way from conflict to communion, and that we share what is most important: the gospel of Jesus Christ. That message is what we are going to give flesh tomorrow in Lund Cathedral and Malmö Arena.
