A successor to Bishop Christina, who retires in March 2007, has been elected. She is the
Revd Teol Dr. Antje Jackelén. Antje Jackelén was ordained for the Diocese of Stockholm in 1980. She has served as parish priest in Stockholm and in the country parish of Gårdstånga outside Lünd as well as in the Cathedral congregation of Lünd. She presented her thesis,
“Time and Eternity - the question of Time in Church, Science and Theology” in 1999 at the University of Lünd. At present she is working as Assistant Professor of Systematic Theology, Religion and Science at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. She will return to Lünd for her consecration in the Spring of 2007.
Plans are being put into place for the Kilcooley Youth Club’s visit to Ostra Onsjo in July 2007. Once again the trip will depend on both clubs getting funding under the European Youth Programme. The draft programme has now been exchanged and it is hoped that we will have a better chance of securing funding through a closer co-operation in filling out the forms!
Two members of Ostra Onsjo Youth Club spent the mid-term break with the Stanleys of Fennor. Amongst other activities organised by our youth leader, Barbara Stanley a group of about 15 spent an afternoon in the quad centre at Borris.
