SMC’s board represents our network


Members of our board are elected at the Annual General Meeting. Each board member is or has been affiliated with one of our member organisations but serves in a personal capacity, representing SMC — Faith in development as a whole rather than their own organisation.
Our member organisations are highly diverse, varying in size, traditions, and areas of activity. The board reflects this diversity and brings a wide range of experience and expertise. It stands as a testament to ecumenical cooperation — a space where, despite our different expressions of faith, we work together in the shared belief in a better world.
Following the Annual General Meeting in May 2025, the following individuals were elected to the board:
Chair: Anders Göranzon, Swedish Bible Society
Ordinary members, in order from left: Christer Åkesson, LM International, Lars-Åke Winberg, ERIKS, Karin Lawenius, Church of Sweden, Andreas Henriksson, PMU, Allan Ekstedt, The Leprosy Mission International, Josefin Fållsten, EFK, Elin Hammarberg, Salvation Army, Johannes Widlund, PMU, and Izla Bethdavid, ADRA Sweden.

29 Member Organisations
Our member organisations and churches represent an ecumenical breadth of Christian traditions in Swedish civil society. Together we change the world.
