Lönnebo was born in Storkågeträsk in present-day Skellefteå Municipality.[2] He studied theology at Johannelund theological seminary and was ordained within the Swedish Evangelical Mission (Evangeliska Fosterlands-Stitelsen, EFS) in 1954. In 1964 he received a D.Th. degree on his doctoral dissertation Albert Schweitzers etisk-religiösa ideal.[3] He worked as a pastor and chaplain in Uppsala for a number of years, and was appointed Provost (domprost) of Härnösand in 1977. In 1980 he was elected Bishop of Linköping, where he remained until his retirement.
Lönnebo also wrote a number of books on religious life, many of them inspired by the spiritual traditions of northern Sweden, as well as by Eastern Christianity.[1]
In 1995, Lönnebo created the Wreath of Christ, a set of non-denominational prayer beads with 18 pearls to be used for meditation and devotional practices.[5][6][7]
Lönnebo married Britt-Louise Ollikainen in 1958.[8] They had three children.[9]
Lönnebo died in Linköping on 26 April 2023, at the age of 93.[10]
