As St. Paul noted in Gal 5:11, If I were no longer preaching salvation through the cross of Christ, no one would be offended; the last thing the church wants to do is offend anyone, particularly Muslims. Bishop Eva Brunne has the solution: remove the cross along with other Christian symbols from the Seamen’s Church in Stockholm.
Presumably, her next move will be to remove Christianity itself from the church; perhaps she has already done that.
Eva Brunne is the bishop of Stockholm in the Church of Sweden. Before deciding to remove the cross from the church, her main claim to notoriety was to be the first openly lesbian bishop of a mainstream church. It’s significant that such things tend to go together.

Bishop Eva Brunne wants to remove Christian symbols from the Seamen’s Church in Stockholm, and instead create a prayer room for Muslims, SVT reports.
The bishop wants to temporarily make the Seamen’s Church available to all, for example by marking the direction of Mecca and remove Christian symbols, which is already done in common prayer rooms at airports and in some hospital chapels.
“Leasing a room to people of other faiths, does not mean that we are not defenders of our own faith. Priests are called to proclaim Christ. We do that every day and in every meeting with people. But that does not mean that we are hostile toward people of other faiths, “writes Bishop Eva Brune at Stockholm municipality’s website.
