DEFIANT BISHOPS
Free Norwegian Church
STOCKHOLM, July 27,
Six Norwegian bishops in 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 the principles of their new temporary Church administration in disregard of all Quisling’s anti-Church orders. They will be t responsible for all Church affairs, which will continue normally, but without contact with the State. All the clergy will continue to administer their offices, whether Quisling dismissed them or not.
The declaration also professes loyalty to the German occupation force “within the framework of international law.”
