   First, the moderately liberal bishop of Oslo, Andreas Aarflot, retired. (The Norwegian State Church has no archbishop-the bishop of Oslo has traditionally served ex officio as Praeses [President] of the Bishops' Conference.)
   
   For his successor, the cabinet, after a split vote, unexpectedly recommended to the king-in effect chose-the strongly liberal former Secretary-General of the Lutheran World Federation Gunnar Staalset.In his more conservative youth Staalset lived for some years in America and was a member of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.Now, however, he supports "same-sex partnerships" for clergy as well as laity.In early February 1999 it became known that he had authorized a ritual for the "blessing" of such relationships.
