What started as a study group, in 1979 became a budding, and then flourishing, scholarly organisation, Collegium Patristicum Lundense. We were four or five in the first board, me being the youngest ;).

Over the years CPL has grown into a great organisation in connection with many Nordic and international scholars. Several doctoral dissertations have come out of the group. But not only that. The development inside Scandinavian church life has been greatly affected by a new interest in the Church fathers.

So: congratulations to Collegium Patristicum Lundense!! as the Orthodox are singing at an anniversary: Many years! Many years!
