I met Bishop Sjoberg in the late 1970s when he was President of the Western Canada Synod. I was developing the Spiritual Life Sacred Ritual gallery at the Provincial Museum and sought him out for conversation on Lutheran worship. Our conversation ranged widely and I learned about various Lutheran initiatives including work between the ELCIC and the Lutheran Church Canada - Missouri Synod to produce a joint Service Book.
Bishop Sjoberg’s childhood formation, his broad ranging experience in Lutheran congregations throughout Canada and internationally and his work as National Bishop has given him a particular vantage point from which to reflect on the church over the last seven decades. It is a blessing to be given the long-view when it comes to the life of the church.
