The article is based on a research project comprising three studies: a qualitative study, an analysis of websites and information material, and an internet-based survey. The results highlight the important role played by the parishes for older visitors, in terms of providing community, support and religious services. However, people above the age of 65 were virtually invisible on the church websites and in other information material. This paradox will be discussed and the concept of ageism is used in the analysis. Keywords: migration, older people, ageism, the Church of Sweden, ethnic congregations Introduction Since the 1990s, a growing body of literature has revealed that migrants may contact and become involved with immigrant religious congregations for a variety of reasons (Cadge & Howard Ecklund, 2006; Furseth, 2008) and that the consequences of such involvement are multifaceted.

The Missionary Sphit in the Augustana Church George F. Hall \ THE MISSIONARY SPIRIT IN THE AUGUSTANA CHURCH The American church is made up of many varied groups, depending on origin, divisions, changing relationships. One of these was the Augustana Lutheran Church, founded by Swedish Lutheran immigrants and maintain­ ing an independent existence from 1860 to 1962 when it became a part of a larger Lutheran community, the Lutheran Church of America. The character of the Augustana Church can be studied from different viewpoints. In this volume Dr. George Hall describes it as a missionary church. It was born out of a missionary concern in Sweden for the thousands who had emigrated. As soon as it was formed it began to widen its field. Then its representatives were found in In­ dia, Puerto Rico, in China. The horizons grew to include Africa and Southwest Asia. Two World Wars created havoc, but also national and international agencies.

    Maria Erling, “Wrestling with the Mission Mantle: Matthias Wahlstrom

    Wrestling with the Mission Mantle: Matthias Wahlstrom, Failed Missionary to the Comanche, and the Relation between the Augustana Synod and the Covenant Church MARIA ERLING he Augustana Synod meeting in June 1879 convened in Chi- cago, Illinois, where lively religious factions contended within Tthe Swedish-American community. Augustana claimed the Lutheran mantle, but retained in many ways the fervency of the Swedish revival. To the pious, however, the mantle of conservative Lutheranism was a heavy burden. Even though Swedish citizens learned the faith through Luther’s catechism and the traditional forms of the Church of Sweden, orthodoxy felt at times like a spiritual strait- jacket. In America, and especially in the booming metropolis of Chicago, Swedish churches courted immigrants who often wanted something new. When Augustana’s ministers and delegates came to Chicago, their college and seminary in Rock Island boasted its ortho- doxy, but the synod also embarked on a missionary initiative to the Comanche. It was a bold gambit to show that from their outpost in Rock Island they could claim both a foothold in the west and a central role in the piously demanding Swedish religious environ- ment.1 Augustana’s first twenty-five years followed an itinerant path, moving its school from Springfield to Paxton, then to Rock Island, and becoming more orthodox, traditional, and formal in teaching and practice. In 1860 professor Esbjörn and most of his students abruptly left Springfield, where a strained partnership with the American Lutheran General Synod had ended in recrimination. Chicago pro- vided a temporary home, while financial pressures pushed them into speculative ventures in land holding and colony building in Paxton, 136 Illinois.

    Lutheran Churches in Australia by Jake Zabel 2018

    Lutheran Churches in Australia By Jake Zabel 2018 These are all the Lutheran Church bodies in Australia, to the best of my knowledge. I apologise in advance if I have made any mistakes and welcome corrections. English Lutheran Churches Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA) The largest Lutheran synod in Australia, the Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA) was formed in 1966 when the two Lutheran synods of that day, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Australia (ELCA) and the United Evangelical Lutheran Church in Australia (UELCA), united into one Lutheran synod. The LCA has churches all over Australia and some in New Zealand. The head of the LCA is the synodical bishop. The LCA is also divided in districts with each district having their own district bishop. The LCA is an associate member of both the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) and the International Lutheran Council (ILC). The LCA is a member of the National Council of Churches in Australia. The LCA has official altar-pulpit fellowship with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Papua New Guinea (ELCPNG) and Gutnius Lutheran Church of Papua New Guinea (GLCPNG) and a ‘Recognition of Relationship’ with the Lutheran Church of Canada (LCC). The LCA also has missions to the Australia Aboriginals. The LCA also has German, Finnish, Chinese, Indonesian and African congregations in Australia, which are considered members of the LCA. The LCA is also in fellowship with German, Latvian, Swedish, and Estonian congregations in Australia, which are not considered members of the LCA. Evangelical Lutheran Congregations of the Reformation (ELCR) The third largest synod in Australia, the Evangelical Lutheran Congregations of the Reformation (ELCR), formed in 1966 from a collection of ELCA congregations who refused the LCA Union of 1966 over the issue of the doctrine of Open Questions.

    Lutheran – Reformed

    The denominational landscape in Germany seems complex. Luthe- ran, Reformed, and United churches are the mainstream Protestant churches. They are mainly organized in a system of regional chur- ches. But how does that look exactly? What makes the German system so special? And why can moving within Germany entail a conversion?

    WELS Flag Presentation

    WELS Flag Presentation Introduction to Flag Presentation The face of missions is changing, and the LWMS would like to reflect some of those changes in our presentation of flags. As women who have watched our sons and daughters grow, we know how important it is to recognize their transition into adulthood. A similar development has taken place in many of our Home and World mission fields. They have grown in faith, spiritual maturity, and size of membership to the point where a number of them are no longer dependent mission churches, but semi- dependent or independent church bodies. They stand by our side in faith and have assumed the responsibility of proclaiming the message of salvation in their respective areas of the world. Category #1—We begin with flags that point us to the foundations of support for our mission work at home and abroad. U.S.A. The flag of the United States is a reminder for Americans that they are citizens of a country that allows the freedom to worship as God’s Word directs. May it also remind us that there are still many in our own nation who do not yet know the Lord, so that we also strive to spread the Good News to the people around us. Christian Flag The Christian flag symbolizes the heart of our faith. The cross reminds us that Jesus shed his blood for us as the ultimate sacrifice. The blue background symbolizes the eternity of joy that awaits us in heaven. The white field stands for the white robe of righteousness given to us by the grace of God.
