Solveig Margrete Fiske (born 26 October 1952) is a bishop in the Church of Norway, serving the Diocese of Hamar.
Originally from Frei in Møre og Romsdal, she graduated from the Free Faculty of Theology (now the MF Norwegian School of Theology) in 1980, and completed her practical examinations there in 1981. She briefly worked as a consultant for the Church Council in 1981, followed by an assignment to the parish in Elverum as a chaplain between 1982 and 1994.[1] In 1994, she became the parish priest in Løten, a position she held for 12 years.[2]
Fiske was consecrated as bishop of the Diocese of Hamar, the diocese encompassing both Elverum and Løten, on 17 December 2006. As bishop of Hamar, she succeeded the first female bishop in the church of Norway, Rosemarie Köhn, and became the fourth woman to be ordained bishop in Norway. Olav Skjevesland, bishop in the Diocese of Agder and Telemark, officiated at her consecration. On 25 December 2006, she went public with the view that the Church of Norway should develop a church liturgy for the establishment of same-sex partnerships.[3] Following Norway's starting to certifying same-sex marriages in 2009, the Church of Norway adopted a new liturgy suitable for wedding same-sex couples in 2017.[4]
