Uppsala Synod
The Uppsala Synod in 1593 was the most important synod of the LutheranChurch of Sweden. Sweden had gone through its Protestant Reformation and broken with Roman Catholicism in the 1520s, but an official confession of faith had never been declared. King Sigismund, who had Catholic faith, inherited the Swedish throne in November 1592, which raised a need to formalise Lutheran faith.
