Bimbi Ollberg can also imagine opening a pub in the church.
– Today we try to do too much in all places, he says.
At Visby diocese, the goal is to make 80 percent of Gotlanders members by 2050.
– I can imagine that we can open a pub in the church, I can imagine that we can open a church that focuses only on children and young people, I can imagine that we have some church in some parish that focuses only on concerts and music. We niche the churches a little more than we do today, says Ollberg to SR.
