Lutherans with Apostolic Succession

[BigNorsk]

I added some of the Lutheran Churches that claim full Apostolic Succession in the sense of passing it down through the Bishops.

At this point I only added the ones who have Apostolic Succession through the Anglican Church. Some have both their own and the Anglican Successions.

I believe there are others such as many in Africa that would trace their Apostolic Succession back to the Church of Sweden. But I don't have them handy.

I've read that the Swedish Lutheran Church allows his students of theology to celebrate the Mass BEFORE to be ordained priest, that because the wrong idea of Mr Luther about the priesthood of all believers.

If this is the udenstanding of the sacrament of order, I think that the idea of bishop and of apostolic succession is very different between us
