"The founder of one of Sweden’s largest Protestant (megachurch) congregations is converting to Catholicism. This past Sunday (March 9th) Ulf Ekman announced to the Word of Life church he founded that he and his wife would swim the Tiber. Major news even in secular Sweden, the Dagens Nyheter, Sweden’s largest daily, printed a statement by Ekman detailing his conversion and the reasons behind it." -Excerpt from First Things article, ULF EKMAN’S CHARISMATIC CONVERSION
by Dale M. Coulter (parenthesis mine).
For more, watch his explanation to his congregation. It's filled with valuable nuggets on the subject of authentic Christian unity and gives good insight into some of the issues and reasons which go into making such a difficult, but beautiful and courageous decision to follow the Truth wherever It leads.
