  • The Stolpes, Gustav and (John Gustaf) Mauritz. Two Pillars of Augustana
    The Stolpes, Gustav and (John Gustaf) Mauritz. Two Pillars of Augustana. Gustavus Adolphus…A New York City Augustana Church is Founded. New York City’s remarkable Augustana Lutheran Gustavus Adolphus congregation1 was organized on 2 November 1865, with the help of two pioneering midwestern Swedish- American Augustana pastors, Andreas Andrén(1827-1880) and and Erland Carlson (1822-1893). It was intended to serve those immigrants who had chosen to remain in New York City, and transients heading west to the growing Midwestern Swedish communities in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Kansas. Both its founders were connected with the early growth of the Augustana Synod. Rev. Erland Carlson was developer of the first Swedish Lutheran congregation in Chicago, while Andreas Andrén was father of Augustana’s fourth president, Gustav Andreen. By the summer of 1866, the congregation was ready to move into their new church home, by purchase of Bethseda Baptist church, located at their present site on 22nd St. It was dedicated by Dr. Tufve Hasselquist (1816-1891), Augustana Synod president, who later became second president of Augustana College. The young congregation was named for the celebrated Swedish warrior-king Gustavus Adolphus, whose military support of the Protestant movement during the Thirty Years War brought the spread of Lutheranism throughout northern Europe. Among the founding members of Gustavus Adolphus congregation was John Ericsson, celebrated Civil war engineer, and developer of the first ironclad, Monitor. The congregation’s early years were stormy, filled with both religious controversy and financial challenges. Its first resident pastor was Karl Karlén (1819-1903) from Gothenburg Sweden, serving 1865-67.
