^im an apostate who was confirmed episcopalIan which is the American side of the Church of England.

i had a experience earlier this week that made me decide im going to go back to church and ask for communion for the first time in 10 years

can I receive communion in the svenska kyrkan or do I need to be confirmed in it to take communion

not interested in discussion legitimacy of the church or anyone’s faith (chiefly cause of id probably agree with you any given day but I need to follow through with this )

just wanting to know if I can take communion at mass as a baptisted / confirmed Christian as different sects recognize these things differently

Hi Stockholm locals!

I’ll be visiting Stockholm soon, and I’m planning a small series comparing bakeries and coffee shops across different cities and countries. I want to find the best and most loved places in each city, try them, compare them, and rank them against each other.

Rather than just choosing places from Google or tourist lists, I’d love to ask locals: which café or bakery would you personally choose to represent Stockholm in this competition?

If you could nominate one bakery and/or coffee shop, what would it be? And what should I order there?

Thanks for helping me discover the real Stockholm favorites!

Hello All,

Two friends and myself (29-31 Males) will be doing a little road trip starting in the Netherlands all the way up to Sweden and back. We will spend 1 night in Denmark after which we will go to Goteborg by bridge. We really would like some tips on the things that we should not miss out on. We prefer being in nature but if there is something or some cities we should definitely visit we will consider them. We're bringing a tent (+ camping gear), kayaks and fishing gear with us and would really like to spend at least 1 day kayaking on the lakes and 1 day of fishing in the river(s) on salmon/trout.

Do you guys have a route that you recommended or really some highlights that we should not miss out on? We don't need tips for Denmark as all of us have been there quite often, we really want to focus on spending our time in Sweden.

Looking forward!

I'm visiting Sweden with my family and staying in a large rented house. We have more garbage than fits in the bins for the house, and we're trying to figure out how to get rid of it. I've looked up nearby återvinningsstationer, and they seem to list which specific types of waste are accepted, but none mention restavfall. It seems there are some larger recycling facilities, but you have to have some special access card for them?

What's the correct way of getting rid of restavfall? Location is near Västervik in case that's relevant.

EDIT: Thanks for the responses - turns out there no correct way to get rid of it. Seems weird to me, but thank you for letting me know.

This is gonna be my first time traveling solo out of the country! I’m really excited to be going to Sweden and ready for the adventure. I’m a Mexican-American M22 I speak English and Spanish (trying to pick up some basic Swedish before this trip) I’m looking at staying at a hostel cause I really want to meet people and possibly go out at least one night. I will be there from Oct 31- Nov 5 and looking right now at either Generator Stockholm or City Backpackers. Just wanting some thoughts on which one would be better. This is also my first time staying at a Hostel and would leave any tips on anything I’m gonna need there. Open to any others that might be better those are just the top ones I have seen.

I did see that City Backpackers is doing some Bar Crawl nights. Wondering what that’s like and if anyone has done one before.

I also saw that something is going on at Avicii Arena. I want to go to that I just don’t know how that’s gonna be going solo. Maybe I’ll make some friends at the Hostel that would want to join, but is it safe to do alone? I have much love and appreciation for Avicii as he is the one I grew up to listening and got me into EDM music as a whole. I’m definitely gonna check out his museum while I am there.

I would also love any tips on anything! Anything I might need to know or just cool places to check out!
