July 29: Birth of Dag Hammarskjold, Christian Statesman |
 | | His father had a long career as a civil servant and even served as Sweden's prime minister. |
| | Among the family's close friends was Nathan Soderblom, head of the Swedish Lutheran church and a strong advocate of Christian ecumenism (Christians settling disagreements and working together). |
| | Although Dag was outwardly successful in everything he undertook, inwardly he was in turmoil. |
