Olavsfestdagene is a religious and cultural related to Olsok celebration which marks the Saint Olav deaths in battle of Stiklestad.
It was the bishops’ president, Helga Haugland Byfuglien who earlier this summer stated philosophy that she thought kirkas resistance against gays marriage explains why many are leaving the Norwegian Church. The debate is well known and so is Byfuglien standpoint. Nevertheless woke debate again and Eidsvåg folds into giving Byfuglien their support.
Bullshit!

“I am of the opinion that if the church fails to be in front to sharpen our humanity and to sharpen our empathy, it has lost its relevance. In our part of the world has long been behind in this work, but in other parts of the world has been in the driving seat. If Jesus movement – the church, should have an impact it must hold high: generosity, mercy, justice and love, and it must not be in fear of modern challenges, lean on ancient writings, they no longer have any significance and that we know. History has shown us that we read as much into a text out of it – between the wars managed some of the foremost dale turning theologians to make Jesus to a Gentile, Aryan Nazi hero. We believe in a creative and living power, we must get inspiration where we see that justice forces are at work. They are not at work in the fight that gays and lesbians should not get married in church, which encourages cowardice and weakness, in my view. The question is not how skrifttro we are, the question is whether we see early enough who suppressed and discriminated against and dare to fight their cause. Therefore, I am today eitrandes that another bishop goes backwards into the future under the pretext of being faithful to the church. Bullshit! The church election in the fall would have been possible to tune out the bishops representing the whitewashed tombs. “
