Arne Olsson
Swedish Lutheran bishop (1930–2024) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arne Olsson (31 March 1930 – 12 March 2024[1]) was a Swedish Lutheran bishop. He was the Bishop Ordinary of the Mission Province.
Olsson was a retired pastor in the Lutheran Church of Sweden, having been e.g. the parish priest of Habo. On 5 February 2005 in Gothenburg, he was consecrated as bishop of The Mission Province by The Most Reverend Walter Obare, the presiding bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Kenya. The Mission Province is theologically conservative and opposes women's ordination and same-sex unions and marriage. The same month, the Church of Sweden disqualified him as a priest.[2][3]
