Travel: Oslo 7

Today, I attended St. Edmund’s Church (Church of England). The Rt. Rev. Dr. Robert Innes, Bishop of the Diocese of Europe was the Celebrant with Confirmations. It appeared to be a very special day for the congregation. I had a minute to visit with the Chaplain, The Rev. Canon Joanna Udal.

The service was in English and similar to ours, but with a different order for some parts.

Bishop Innes doing bishopy things. It took a few seconds to realize that it is a map of Europe on his miter.

There was so much construction out front, that it was difficult to get a good picture, so I stole this one from the web.

At the end of June, they will be celebrating their 140th anniversary, so by European standards, it is a very new congregation/church.

The walk to the church this morning was lonely business. Very little movement on the streets. It is my experience that most European cities are trashed on Sunday mornings with garbage everywhere.

  1. I find myself so inspired and hopeful I get to visit all of these places someday, added to my bucket list.
