List Of Bishops Of Turku
The Archdiocese of Turku is the oldest diocese in Finland. Mediaeval bishops of the Catholic Church were also de facto secular leaders of the country until the end of the 13th century.
After The Reformation in Scandinavia, Lutheran bishops were delegated to position of state officials. When Finland became a separate grand duchy, the then Bishop of Turku was elevated to archiepiscopal rank in 1817. Since 1868, the Archbishops of Turku and Finland have been considered primates of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland

“Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”
—Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)
