"Gunnar Wieselgren was an internationalist in the best sense of the word. He had friends in many countries. He was particularly fond of his home town of Gothenburg, where his father was a vicar, even though he had never lived there for any length of time since his youth. Instead, in addition to Sweden, he worked in countries such as Morocco, Tanzania, India, Australia, the United States and many countries in Western Europe. What led him there was his involvement in the international movement Initiatives of Change, formerly known in Sweden as Moral Rearmament or the Oxford Group Movement. It made a major impact on Swedish society in the 1930s and attracted a lot of attention."
