Excerpt from The Church of Sweden and the Anglican Communion
The following papers are submitted to the Episcopate and others, as evidence bearing upon the Form, Intention, and Continuance of Holy Orders in the Swedish National Church. Opinions heretofore published seem to have been based upon one or another of the various forms, and never upon them all. I have tried to make all the actually material evidence accessible in fair English, having more regard, however, to accuracy than to elegance, and feeling that a double rendering of a phrase or word here or there would be no loss, if both renderings were fair. The Lambeth Commission which has visited Sweden may conclude its labors by a Report to the Arch bishop oi Canterbury Within the near future. But as the Swedish Church has only just appointed a Standing Commission on the sub jcet, it may be presumed that the Commission may continue in activity for some time to come, and report to the Lambeth Conference proposed for 1918.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a primary source collection of historical Swedish ordination services used between 1571 and 1894. These documents provide evidence for the unbroken practice of consecrating bishops and ordaining priests in the Church of Sweden since the Protestant Reformation. By organizing the historical forms of ordination alongside contemporary scholarly commentary, the author delves into themes of priesthood, episcopal election, and the process of confirmation in the Swedish church. Questions raised by Anglican critics for over a century are addressed using primary evidence, with the author concluding that the Swedish Church has continuously maintained both apostolic succession and valid ordination throughout its history.
