Ingmar Valter Lorens Ström (21 May 1912 - 19 January 2003) was a Swedish author and Bishop of Stockholm from 1971 till 1979.
Ström was born on 21 May 1912 in Solna Municipality, Sweden, the son of the Reverend Tord Valfrid and Agnes Palm.
[1] In 1971, he was elected Bishop of Stockholm and was consecrated in Uppsala Cathedral by Archbishop Ruben Josefson on 26 September 1971.
However, two bishops, Bertil Gärtner and Helge Brattgård did not attend the consecration in protest against his appointment.
He also encompassed liberal theological views concerning the Bible and the resurrection of Jesus, believing that rather than arguing whether Jesus rose from the dead or not, it is vital to look at such accounts as means how to develop a relationship with Christ whilst following his example.
