Re: Remember Thorkild Grosboel?
I loved this (referring to the atheist priest):
quote:
However, Mogens Lindhardt, the leader of Denmark's Theological College of Education, described Mr Grosboel's claims as "refreshing".
Yes, indeed, it could be described as refreshing to bring ideas like atheism into a theistic religion.
The Danish Lutherans sound a bit like the Church of England, which sometimes has Bishops who are accused of atheism by more conventional believers.
As Scandinavia always comes up high in surveys on levels of disbelief in religion, perhaps the (wonderfully named) Thorkild Grosboel has hit on a great idea for bringing the masses back to the Church.
