Ole Edvard Borgen (8 November 1925 – 24 March 2009) was a Norwegian theologian and Methodist bishop.
[1] He attended Tomb Agricultural School from 1944 to 1946, and also completed an apprenticeship in sausage making, intent to take over his father's store and the family farm.
Besides that, the entire family adhered to the Methodist creed, and in 1956 Borgen travelled to the United States to study different subjects.
In 1968 he took his doctorate at Drew University with the thesis John Wesley on the Sacraments.
[1][2] He had then been stationed in Stockholm since 1966, as an aide to the Methodist bishop to the Nordic countries, Odd Hagen.
