Summary |
Christ Lutheran Church : Centennial 1874-1974, Stoughton, Wisconsin. This bound volume contains vivid descriptions of the meeting at which a group of Stoughton residents decided, at the urging of Pastor Jacob Aall Ottesen, to create a new Lutheran church, and descriptions of other founding events. Biographical sketches of the successive pastors provide details of important events in the growth of Christ Lutheran, the growth of the Norwegian Lutheran Church in Wisconsin and Minnesota, its subsequent affiliation with the American Lutheran Church, and the roles that the pastors played in these developments. There is an account of the Kvindeforening - Ladies Aid women's organization of the church. There is a photo montage of the two church buildings and artifacts contained therein. There is a directory of church members with family photographs. There is a description of the important role laymen have played in church history, a list of special Biblical texts for everyday use, and acknowledgement of the 1973-1974 councils, members of the Endowment Foundation and Centennial Committee, and individuals and companies who made important contributions to the production of the book and a commemorative 1974 coin. A photograph of a Norwegian Stave Church acknowledges the tradition from which Chirst Lutheran Church came. |
