The Mission Province (Swedish: Missionsprovinsen [mɪˈɧûːnsprʊˌvɪnːsɛn]) is a Swedish independent ecclesiastical province founded by members of the Church of Sweden who are opposed to the ordination of women to the priesthood and episcopate. The province, which aligns with Confessional Lutheranism, considers itself as a free-standing diocese within the Church of Sweden, a position rejected by the church itself.
