CHURCH IN NORWAY
INDEPENDENT BODY ESTABLISHED STOCKHOLM, July 27. Six Norwegian bishops at Oslo have issued a declaration announcing the formation of an independent Norwegian church in direct defiance of Major Quisling, who had dismissed these six bishops. They declare that the Norwegian clergy will fight for their principles. Their new temporary church administration will disregard alt Major Quisling’s anti-church orders. They will be responsible for all church affairs, which will continue normally, but without contact with the State. All clergy will continue to administer their offices whether Major Quisling has dismissed them or not. The declaration also professes loyalty to the German occupation force within the framework of international law.
