Looks like the world is about to welcome its first bishop in a mainstream denomination who happens to be a lesbian. There has just been an election in the Church of Sweden which has resulted in the election of Eva Brunne (who is in a registered partnership) to the Diocese of Stockholm.

Congratulations to Eva. No doubt prayers are in order for her and her partner and their son.

The Scottish Episcopal Church is in full communion with the Church of Sweden thanks to the Porvoo agreement.
