This bulletin will come on alternate Saturday mornings to provide a quick summary of what is happening in the Diocese and beyond. Rectors, especially those in the DHC, may wish to copy this Fortnightly to parishioners who have e-mail, or to have parishioners’ e-mail addresses sent to afdv1@yahoo.com.

Winchester: At St. Michael the Archangel, the Rt. Rev. Goran Beijer and Bishop Hewett will visit on Monday, February 12, for 6:45 pm Short Evening Prayer and 7 pm Mass, followed by a presentation by Bishop Beijer.

Sweden

Stockholm: The Rt. Rev. Goran Beijer, one of the bishops of the Mission Province in Sweden and Vicar of the St. Stephen's koinonia in Stockholm, continues his tour of the U.S. Originally from Visby in Gottland, where his father was a priest, Bishop Beijer received his theological degree from the University of Uppsala. The Middle Eastern Council of Churches sponsored his year-long stay in Beirut, Lebanon, to study the Eastern Churches. Most recently, he served as Vicar of St. James in the center of Stockholm.

The Mission Province in Sweden is the equivalent of our continuing churches. It is being helped by the Missouri Synod and by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Kenya. There are close ties with the Nordic Catholic Church in Norway and an affiliation, like ours, with Forward in Faith/UK.
