I am approaching them determined to have an open mind, to read as carefully as I can in order to understand how the members of the OALC have such strong ideas that theirs is the only True Faith. I'm looking at Sermon number 97, the last in the New Postilla. As hard as I try, I can't follow what he is saying. I am honestly confused. Do the preachers translate his meaning--do the members actually know what Laestadius preached? Is there any writing on what the meaning is of some of these sermon's? It is pretty heavy going for me to understand how a religion developed from what he had to say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088717.post-41502151654963532022005-04-18T11:22:00.000-07:002005-04-18T11:22:00.000-07:00Okay, just for the record, the rummage/bake sale r...Okay, just for the record, the rummage/bake sale raised several thousand dollars.
