Karin Burstrand has been appointed as the new Dean of Gothenburg - the first time a woman has been appointed to the post. The Church of Sweden has gone for Burstrand following the shock resignation of her predecessor in a church sex scandal.

“Fantastic, I am overwhelmed, Karin Burstrand said of the decision. It will be exciting to return to Sweden and work in a new diocese.”
