Biographical Sketch Collection of Augustana Synod Letters, 1853–1927 |Page 1 of 11 Documentation included with the transfer makes the following assumption about the collection: “Miscellaneous Letters (Possibly originally part of the Norelius Collection) Group I. 1848-1869 These letters are by a variety of persons addressed in turn to several persons not all of whom are definitely identifiable. They are all related, however, to the founding and early history of the Ev. Luth. Scandinavian (later Swedish) Augustana Synod (later Church). Thus they also relate clearly to early Swedish immigration to the Midwest. They were very likely arguably a part of the collected letters assembled by Dr. Eric Norelius in preparation for his two volume history of the founding and development of the Augustana Church. When the present archivist (JWL) took charge of them, they had, however, been removed to separate files, presumably for use by a number of preachers, and never returned to their original files. Since it is impossible to return them to their original provenance, it was thought best to simply file them chronologically with an index to authors and recipients.” Content/Description This collection contains letters relating to the founding and early history of the Augustana Synod. Letters are written to, from, and mentioning various persons including Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church presidents Tuve Hasselquist (1860-1870), Eric Norelius (1874-1881 & 1899-1911), Erland Carlsson (1881-1888), and S.

During this transitional period, many far-reaching administrative reforms were the Swedish at Agency Personal Age of Greatness 1560–1720 Greatness of Age carried out, and the Swedish state developed into a prime example of the ‘power-state’.

  • Unity, Ecumenicity, and Difference in the Augustana Synod

    Unity, Ecumenicity, and Difference in the Augustana Synod

    Unity, Ecumenicity, and Diff erence in the Augustana Synod by Derek R. Nelson uried beneath the headlines about human sexuality at the BEvangelical Lutheran Church in America’s most recent churchwide assembly in August 2009 was a little-heralded full communion agreement between the ELCA and the United Methodist Church. This was the sixth such bi-lateral agreement between the ELCA and an ecumenical partner (the others are the Presbyterian Church USA, the Episcopal Church, the United Church of Christ, the Moravian Church, and the Reformed Church in America), and the fi rst such agreement for the United Methodist Church. This is a signifi cant moment in the life of the Lutheran and Methodist communions, since no other country has seen such an agreement between a Lutheran and a Methodist church body, even though both are certainly regarded as international Christian churches.1 Further, while this is arguable, the full communion agreement with the United Methodist Church marks the greatest reach, doctrinally speaking, for the ELCA to date. Co-operation in signifi cant ways has long been a feature of Lutheran-Reformed and Lutheran-Episcopal life in the United States. But such mutual ministry as we may now see between the United Methodist Church and the ELCA would have been unthinkable to most in the days of the Augustana Synod. For example, even the otherwise ecumenically minded pioneer pastor Lars Paul Esbjörn refused assistance from the Methodist church in America after his immigration.2 He rebuked them for “the stain on its Christian name”

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Thomas N. Holmquist for the Masters of Arts in History presented on January 3, 1994 Title: Pioneer Cross, Swedish Settlements Alanq The SmoKY Hl~ ~a--, , I. /7 Abstract approved: t/?1~t?·t ;rI '- ______--, Kansas is a state blessed with many riches, the greatest of which is her people. This state is made up of a patchwork of diverse cultures and ethnic groups. Many areas are notable primarily because they have retained the cultural identity that their pioneer ancestors brought with them from their countries of origin. One such area is the Smoky Valley of central Kansas. Here on the banks of the Smoky Hill River, Swedish pioneers settled just over 125 years ago. They brought with them their culture, language, and their love of art and music. Within a few years, they developed one of the largest Swedish settlements in the United States. Originally, two independent companies were formed to settle the Smoky Valley. The Swedish Agricultural Company of McPherson County, Kansas settled the land where the city of Lindsborg now stands. Its history has been documented in numerous scholarly writings, However, the equally important Galesburg Colonization Company has been ignored by scholars, The Galesburg Company was the larger of the two organizations and settled a much larger area. This company founded the Fremount and Salemsberg Lutheran Churches and subsequently the towns of Marquette, Smolan, and Assaria. The purpose of this thesis is to bring forward the history of the Galesburg Colonization Company and the extraordinary Swedish pioneers who settled within those communities.

Personal Names . 42 I. INTRODUCTION Swedish American studies, including local history and genealogy, are among the best documented immigrant studies in the United States. This is the result of the Swedish genius for documenting almost every aspect of life from birth to death. They have, in fact, created and retained documents that Americans would never think of looking for, such as certificates of change of employment, of change of address, military records relating whether a soldier's horse was properly equipped, and more common events such as marriage, emigration, and death. When immigrants arrived in the United States and found that they were not bound to the single state religion into which they had been born, the Swedish church split into many denominations that emphasized one or another aspect of religion and culture. Some required children to study the mother tongue in Saturday classes, others did not. Some, more liberal than European Swedish Lutheranism, permitted freedom of religion in the new country and even allowed sects to flourish that had been banned in Sweden.

Whatever the cause-effect relationship between them, geographical and intellectual exploration and expansion seem to have been bound together, whether in Homeric Greece, the Renaissance, or the Space Age. Over the bodies of the Athenian dead, Pericles told his fellow citizens that 'our adventurous spirit has forced an entry into every land and sea,' and it does no injustice to the other great cultural traditions of the world to inscribe that statement over the entire history of the West.
