Here’s a Finnish language <a href="https://freepathways.wordpress.com/2012/12/16/on-jumalan-aika-meri-anna/" rel="nofollow">link</a>, and Google Translate does a pretty good job <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Ffreepathways.wordpress.com%2F2012%2F12%2F16%2Fon-jumalan-aika-meri-anna%2F&act=url" rel="nofollow">here</a>. She was immediately taken off Sunday School teaching duties. (Yes, you read correctly: Her new credentials <i>disqualified</i> her in the SRK’s eyes–actually, the act of rebellion it took to obtain them as a woman.)

I think the knowledge of what she was doing for the children who weren't able to speak for themselves probably kept her there. But mentally and emotionally, it has to have taken a toll because of all the pressure on her.daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03168831819807523569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088717.post-74901830493873901392012-04-15T10:40:38.149-07:002012-04-15T10:40:38.149-07:00Dr. Hurtig has finally had enough.Dr. Hurtig has finally <a href="http://www.kaleva.fi/uutiset/kotimaa/hyvaksikayttotutkija-jattaa-lestadiolaisliikkeen/574019/" rel="nofollow">had enough</a>.Ed Suominenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699682370502146769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088717.post-5090553693747270482012-04-02T23:41:55.318-07:002012-04-02T23:41:55.318-07:00Timo, thanks for clarifying that!
