In a letter to the editor, Rickard Berg responds to Dean Jonas Eek's comments regarding a previous ethical statement by the Swedish Migration Agency's Ethical Council. Berg expresses profound disappointment and discomfort with Eek's perceived lack of depth and meaningful engagement on the issue, suggesting that such oversight raises concerns about membership in the Church of Sweden. He goes on to critique Eek for seemingly prioritizing his involvement in the ethical council over his responsibility as a church leader.

Berg's letter highlights a broader concern regarding the role of the church and its representatives in navigating ethical decisions that affect vulnerable populations, such as refugees and migrants. The expectation of church leaders is not only to hold a title but to demonstrate active humanitarian responsibility and empathy. Eek's response is seen as insufficient, prompting Berg to consider the implications of this disconnect for his own relationship with the church.

The reaction from the community can reflect deeper anxieties about the church's alignment with its moral and ethical mandates, especially in a time when societal issues regarding migration and integration are at the forefront. Berg's letter also serves as a call for accountability in leadership roles within the church, urging a reevaluation of values by its representatives to genuinely reflect the principles of compassion and service that the church stands for.
