NEWS ITEMS The attention of interested researchers should be called to the Karl Gösta Gilstring Collection, which since the end of 1986 has been deposed at Dialekt-och folkminnesarkivet (the archives for dialect and folklore research) in Uppsala. The collection consists of over 72,500 annotations made by Dr. Gilstring, a pastor and later secondary school teacher, over more than 50 years, up to his death in Linköping in May 1986, on Swedish folk life and personal reminiscences, gathered through oral interviews and correspond• ence. Among his more than 700 informants were many Swedish Americans, some of whom he corresponded with for decades. According to a letter from Dr. Gilstring to the editor of the Quarterly dated 9 December 1985, some 65 Swedish immigrants in the United States and Canada had provided some 13,200 notations up to that time, organized into 24 sub-collections (Nos. 87-110). This material comprises a rich source for future research and it may be hoped that Karl Gösta Gilstring, a memorable man to all who knew him, may gain the recognition he deserved as a dedicated preserver of the living past in both Sweden and Swedish America. * * * Edla C. Warner of Bishop Hill, Illinois, died on 12 May 1987, at the age of 80 in Geneseo, Illinois. A great-granddaughter of the religious leader and founder of the Bishop Hill colony, Eric Jansson, Miss Warner who was born in Iowa, moved to Bishop Hill in 1962, following a career in the Navy Nurse Corps, bought one of the old colony buildings, and served as archivist for the Bishop Hill Heritage Association from 1964 to 1985. She is well remembered by all who have concerned themselves with Bishop Hill's remarkable history, on which she was herself a uniquely valuable living source. 47 .

Writing for a Swedish audience, Anna's self-proclaimed goal was "to show Swedish-America to Sweden.. through the eyes of a woman." John E.

  • ORIGINS of WESLEYAN HOLINESS THEOLOGY in NINETEENTH CENTURY SWEDEN Carol M
    Methodist History, 33:2 (January 1995) ORIGINS OF WESLEYAN HOLINESS THEOLOGY IN NINETEENTH CENTURY SWEDEN CARoL M. NoREN Holiness theology among the early M.ethodists in Sweden may be traced back to several sources and mutual influences. The remarkably inter­ twined careers of a handful of devout people shaped the spiritual life of generations. Conference journals and church histories tend to present membership statistics and ministerial records as evidence of a movement's vitality. In this paper, however, the focus is on the theological content and method first heard and then proclaimed by preachers in the early years of Swedish Methodism. These include (in chronological order): C. G. Wrangel and the early Hisare, George Scott, the Hedstrom brothers, Eric 1ansson and his followers, and the Swedish Methodists in America respon­ sible for sending missionaries to Sweden. C. G. Wrangel and th~ Early Lasare A common root shared by many early Swedish Methodists was a background in the Uisare or lay-reader movement. These Uisare shared wth their Continental and English neighbors the main emphases of pietism: a return to the biblical portrayal of humans as sinners, Christ as redeemer, justification by faith, experiential rather than doctrinal theology, and holiness of life. 1 The movement took hold in the 1720s, and was strongest in Smaland, N orrland, and Halsingland, where an estimated two-thirds of the adult population, both clergy and laity, participated in conventicles. They held their meetings in homes despite the Conventicle Edict, which since 1726 had prescribed fines, imprisonment, and/or exile for those who met secretly or without the leadership of the Swedish Church.2 Dr.

Diplomat and Dissident: The Involvement of Charge H. W. Ellsworth in the J anssonist Emigration John E. Norton* During Nils William Olsson's long service in the U.S. diplomatic corps, he made wonderful Scandinavian contacts, both personal and archival, which he later used to develop his magnificent genealogical works on the Swedish immigrants. A century before, other U.S. diplomats had been directly involved in planting seeds leading to the "great migration." Their efforts helped bring some 80 million Europeans to North America, among them around 1.2 million Swedes. It is thus fitting that this fe stschriftcontain something about one of the most remarkable of those diplomatic efforts-the flight of the perfectionist "Erikjansare" dissidents from north central Sweden to the plains of western Illinois, begun in 1846 and continuing into the 1850s.

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.

  • In Search of the New Jerusalem: Millennial Hopes and Scandinavian Immigrants to America
    Vidar L. Haanes Chapter 10 In Search of the New Jerusalem: Millennial Hopes and Scandinavian Immigrants to America The immigration from Scandinavia to America started in the seventeenth century, with the establishment of a Swedish colony near today’s Philadelphia. A large num- ber of dissident groups followed, leaving their homelands for religious, political, or economic reasons. Utopian and millenarian ideas were exported to America and flourished, partly in a sectarian, religious form, partly in a secularized, communi- tarian form. Scandinavians arriving with later waves of immigration were often mo- tivated by the ideals of “the Land of Promise,” and some by “the Promised Land.” Many Scandinavians also joined the religious community who succeeded in estab- lishing their Zion on the American continent, the Latter Days Saints. This chapter traces some of the connections and networks that constitute a Jerusalem code amid Scandinavian immigrants to America. Where did it come from, this idea of building Zion in America? In this chapter we trace the Jerusalem code through the seventeenth- and eighteenth centuries among immigrants to America, and focus on the Scandinavians. Traditional Norwegian- American and Swedish-American studies in history will hardly see the Jerusalem code as especially relevant for immigration, as the emphasis has been on the Lutheran heritage of those who left Scandinavia with the hope of a better future in America (Fig. 10.1). But we will trace some of the connections and networks that constitute a Jerusalem code amid immigrants to America, especially among German Lutheran Pietists, mystic and visionary Separatists, and utopian millenarians. Separatists is the common word for those groups that leave the established or national churches, for theological or spiritual reasons.

    GOOD WHITE CHRISTIANS: HOW RELIGION CREATED RACE AND ETHNIC PRIVILEGE FOR IMMIGRANTS IN AMERICA A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Philipp Gollner _____________________________________________________ Mark A. Noll, Director Graduate Program in History Notre Dame, Indiana April 2016 © Copyright by Philipp Gollner 2016 All rights reserved GOOD WHITE CHRISTIANS HOW RELIGIOUS IMMIGRANTS SHAPED RACE, ETHNICITY AND PRIVILEGE IN AMERICA Abstract by Philipp Gollner This dissertation explores how religion helped to define the interplay between whiteness, ethnicity and power between 1885 and 1924 in ways that continue to shape the United States. How, I ask, did various European immigrants employ religion to become not merely pale-skinned ethnics, but fully acceptable Americans –good white Christians? Beginning with the encounter of these immigrants with Anglo-American elites in Chicago, I trace a crisscrossing religious network that is American in its focus, but global in its account of immigrants’ and Americans’ sweeping transnational efforts of activism and world-betterment. This dissertation demonstrates that various European immigrant religious groups harnessed the cultural capital and coercive power of white Protestantism by adopting a posture of restless cultural activism and fervent missionary zeal, as well as a view of ethnic boundaries as harmful to proper religion. Philipp Gollner While scholars of race, immigration, and religion have long tended to treat “white religion” as a byproduct of racial and ethnic binaries, I focus on how religion itself contributed to enduring cultural hierarchies. White Protestant “home missionaries” from the U.S.
