Gunnar Westin tells
of Scandinavia today
Swedish university historian speaks in Temple at 1 1
on present crises 'Everybody has gone crazy'
"iweryDoay nas gone crazy
over there and I don't know when
I'll go home," were the words of
Dr. Gunnar Westin, Swedish au
thor and historian, who will spesk
on "The Scandinavian Countries
in the Present Crisis" at a univer
sity convocation at 11 this morn
ing in Temple. The public is in
vited to attend.
Westin, chairman of the depart
ment of church history at the
University of Upsala, the oldest
university in Sweden, arrived in
America in January. He toured
the east lecturing to colleges, uni-'
versities and churches and is now
on his way to the west coast. .
History authority.
An authority on church history,
Westin believes that the Prote
stant In Scandinavia is stronger
than in any place in the world.
The future of Christianity In Eu
rope is not at all dark but it is
having a hard time according to
Westin. At the present time the
people are unable to support the
church; they have nothing to give.
Dr. Westin is also an author on
church subjects and has published
numerous books from medieval
history to the present day. One
book is now being printed by the
Oxford University Press under the
auspices of the Royal Institute of
International Affairs, which re
ports on the relation of the church
and state in Germany and Sweden.
