SWEDISH PENTECOSTAL PASTOR JOINS ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH~CLAIMS HE LIVED IN ANOTHER WORLD WITHOUT CATHOLICS
SWEDISH PENTECOSTAL PASTOR JOINS ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH: http://www.wayoflife.org/database/friday_church_news/15_12.php (Friday Church News Notes, March 21, 2014, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - "On March 9, Ulf Ekman, Pentecostal pastor in Sweden, told his congregation that he is joining the Roman Catholic Church. Ekman has a wide influence. Not only is he a pastor of a megachurch and founder of Scandinavia’s largest Bible school, but he also was on the board of Yoido Full Gospel Church in Seoul, South Korea, whose senior pastor is David Yonggi Cho, and he mentored Kong Hee, founder of Singapore’s largest church, City Harvest. (Cho was recently convicted of breach of trust and corruption for misuse of church funds to support his son’s business, and Hee is currently on trial on the charge of misuse of church funds to support his wife’s pop music career.) Ekman now denounces “the ongoing Protestant fragmentation of Christendom” and plans to “pursue unity among Christian movements and denominations” (“Conversion of Sweden’s Most Influential Pastor,”Christianity Today, Mar. 14, 2014). Ekman said that it was “contact with catholics” that was a major factor in his conversion, reminding us that evil communications corrupt good manners (1 Cor. 15:33), and that all ecumenical roads eventually lead to Rome."

December 2012 the inner circle of Word of Life Uppsala Sweden appears unannounced in Donetsk with a letter from "Senior Apostle" Ulf Ekman and with an order to appeal to Bishop Leonid Padun to resign all authority immediately and allow Swedish team to oversee the Church and sister Churches.
The now retired pastor Ulf Ekman had received a letter of complaint from two boardmembers the Ukrainian pastor set aside due to unresolved differences in opinion. Along with the discontent board members were a number of church members.
Hear his own testimony of what really happened and the methods used by Word of Life (Livets Ord) Sweden when their ministers do not follow the orders of Ulf Ekman.

It does say a lot at least if you are a evangelical christian. It is clearly an unhealhty relationship with Virgin Mary that Ekman has. And it get a lot worse when you put it in the context of all other actions done by Ekman.
