[Links between Essex / East London and Sweden were strengthened recently]

Notes: "Links between Essex / East London and Sweden were strengthened recently with the signing of an historic Church agreement in Chelmsford Cathedral. The agreement, between the Church of England for Essex and East London (Diocese of Chelmsford) and the Swedish Lutheran Diocese of Karlstad, encourages links and exchange trips between Church groups in Essex and Sweden." "This diocese to diocese link is an example of the practical co-operation between Church of England dioceses and dioceses in the Church of Sweden following the historic signing of the Porvoo Agreement, last year [1997]."
