Brunstad Christian Church – that is, the people and organizations that profess the Biblical doctrine that convicted Johan Oscar Smith, and are brought together by the international conferences held at Brunstad – has now spread to more than 50 nations and every continent. The church’s Norwegian operations are organised as a charitable association with the same name, “Brunstad Christian Church,” registered with organization number 979 961 073. In Norway, BCC consists of 19 local churches, which are organized as independent associations with separate finances and leadership. The organization of church operations in other countries varies somewhat, but is normally formalized as independent organizations. Apart from connection to the same faith and gospel, the organizations’ practical and financial admini- strations function autonomously. This annual report primarily covers the Norwegian organization’s activities and affairs. It is this organization that is referred to as “BCC” herein. -
Friedrich Griess, and an Ex-Member Testimonials About Smith Friends (ACFF)
Friedrich Griess, and an ex-member Testimonials about Smith Friends (ACFF) When in 1983 our daughter, then aged twenty, sympathized with a questionable Christian group, at first my wife and I were not too worried. When she temporarily had a Muslim friend, we quietly considered what it would mean for her to convert to Islam. But gradually we realized that this was not just a matter of faith because she started beating me, her father; because she believed it was her duty to convert me to her new religion with violence. She went skiing with a skirt because the leaders of the new religion taught that women who wore trousers would never go to heaven. She later said she was damned and that God could not save her. She claimed she had done something against her conscience that, according to the teaching of this group, was a sin against the Holy Spirit and could not be forgiven. She said she was trying to convert her parents and then commit suicide. Then we realized that it was not just a religion but a power system that could lead people to suicide, and we were afraid for her life. We decided that my wife had to try to keep in touch with her, while I, because of my conscience to public accountability, was determined to warn the public against this group so far quite unknown, which turned out to be “The Smith friends.” Since we had lived in Norway where this group came from and we understood the language, it was possible for me to fully investigate them.
