The motion, proposed by two Synod members, follows an outbreak of profanity during the annual Synod meeting last year and is due to be voted on during this year's September meeting in Uppsala, the Swedish News Agency TT reported Thursday.

"It is tempting to compare how language, behavior and restraint are handled in sport, which seems to have come a lot further than the Synod," the motion reads.
