Church of Sweden Abroad

Under the new 2012 organisation SKUT has gained constituent seats on the General Synod of the Church of Sweden, like the 13 mainland dioceses.

The 2012 restructuring of SKUT gave the organisation a quasi-diocesan nature, including a governing Council, and seats on the General Synod.

SKUT has traditionally employed ordained priests in overseas parishes, supported by some professional lay workers (pastoral assistants and musicians).

The Archbishop's annual report and review of 2011 stated: "The Committee for the Church of Sweden Abroad made a historic decision in 2011 by setting up deacon posts.

Through solid parish welfare services, the Church of Sweden Abroad gains trust and is able to serve its members in the way that it should.
