Margaretha

For the last year Pastor Lannewall has been priest-in-charge of the parish of Hogboda in central Sweden. The people of the village take their priest very much for granted, but to the popular press Hogboda is now a story, because Hbgboda's priest is an attractive single young woman. Like the Church of England, the Church of Sweden is the nation's established church. But unlike the Church of England, 20 years ago it began ordaining women to the priesthood. Today ten per cent of Sweden's clergy are women. Everyman follows Margaretha Lannewall as she prepares her confirmation class, marries a village couple, celebrates the eucharist, and talks about the problems and rewards of being a woman priest.
