The Church of Sweden consecrated its first openly gay bishop Sunday, making lesbian mom Eva Brunne Bishop of Stockholm. According to Agence France-Presse (via the Advocate), Brunne is in a civil partnership with a woman, and they have a three-year-old child.
By pure coincidence, Helen and I spent Sunday assembling IKEA furniture for our son’s room (new desk and shelves), and then celebrated with several slices of their Tårta Mörk Choklad (with which I have developed a slight obsession). I feel some cosmic connection even though I am neither Swedish nor Lutheran.
She’s 55 years old and is parenting a 3-year-old? Sounds like she’ll need some help from Above!
LOL! Good point. I hadn’t thought of that.
