Jusnes was ordained a priest in 1984 and has worked as a priest in Hamar and the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. She spent the majority of her priesthood in Lofoten, with two periods as a pastor in Flakstad Municipality and eight years as a Dean for the Lofoten prosti.[4]

Ann-Helen Fjelstad Jusnes was nominated as a candidate to succeed Tor Berger Jørgensen as Bishop of Sør-Hålogaland in 2015, and received the greatest support from all candidates in all consultation rounds.[5] On 17 September she was elected bishop by the church council, being the fourth person, and first woman, to be elected by the church council since gaining autonomy from the Norwegian government.[6]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
