My Bishop was called to our Heavenly Father on Sunday morning once a week ago.
I had preached in two of our congregations when I arrived at the morning service in Berga parish, where I held our two fathers, and they told me that the bishop was dead.
Since I had the youth group, and I called a friend and father to tell him about our Bishop.
I had not understood yet ... but the grief will be closer and closer .. Tears for My Bishop shows up. The last time we spoke was this summer in July .. we had an hour-long conversation.
I understand that many of us felt affinity with Bishop Bertil and that I am just another in a series of companions, but it does not help .. I feel what I feel and everything seems meaningless now that we do not have a bishop who dare to publicly take a stand for Christ in this way as Bishop Bertil did ...
We must not betray his memory by becoming bitter, the feeling of futility is not absorbed. Our mission is to Be first and foremost loyal to Jesus Christ and no other. If we do that, we also pay tribute to Bishop Bertil's memory.

Ja, jag läste Gärtners blogg hela tiden, och det kom som en chock för mig att han helt plötsligt dog. En stor förlust för de riktiga och sanna kristna. Jag har aldrig ens träffat honom och ändå så känner jag mig ledsen över hans död. Har hans bok hemma sen gammalt, "Apokryferna till Nya Testamentet", den är bra.
