SOURCES: 1. Goteborgs Stifts Herdaminne, by C.W. Skarstedt 2. 2000 Oridnance Index NOTE: Ericus Olavi (latin for Eric Olofsson) was appointed Rector of Berghem and Hajom, Alvsborg, Sweden, probably in 1594, though he and his wife, Elisabeth Gunnarsson, were living there as early as 1589 when their son, Gunnar, was born. Eric was probably serving in the capacity of assistnat to the regular rector, Bjorn, who died in 1593. To be the new minister Eric was approved by the Bishop and by 24 of the leading clergymen of the diocese. The parishioners of Berghem and Hajom, however, thought they should have a choice of someone else, too. Antoher minister came and preached, but was not liked by the people, so Eric received the appointment. Rather unconventionally, he stood in one of the church windows while he gave his inaugural sermon. He is reported afterwards to have lived in unity and understanding with his place where he gave his distinctive sermon.
