“Despite a significant yearly loss of members (larger than 1% annually), with 65.9% or 6,357,508 members, it is the largest Lutheran church in the world.
Until 2000 it held the position of state church.
The high membership numbers are due to the fact that until 1996, all newborn children were made members, unless their parents had actively cancelled their membership. Approximately 2% of the church’s members regularly attend Sunday services.
Sweden sounds like a marvelous place for other religions to proselytize.
I hope you mean "denominations," not "religions" as in our favorite beheaders.
Oddly enough, if we were up to it, American Lutherans could send missionaries to Sweden to bring them back to non-established Lutheran churches, that could preach the gospel, provide the sacraments, and be expected to pay their own way.
