LWF General Secretary says dialogue and cooperation must prevail in debates over immigration requirements
The archbishop, who serves as LWF Vice President for the Nordic region, made the announcement following an upsurge of abuse over comments she made about requirements for immigrants applying for citizenship in Sweden. The country is facing heated debate over government proposals for all applicants to provide proof that they have passed tests in spoken and written Swedish.
Junge says that he received the news of these “despicable verbal attacks” on the archbishop’s Twitter account “with dismay and shock.” He shares the reasons for his concern in an interview with the Lutheran World Information.
