Collection Description

Korsbaneret, 1880-1950.  LCA Collection 40.  3 Hollinger boxes.

ABSTRACT:
Korsbaneret was an illustrated publication of the Augustana Lutheran Synod.  Issued annually, it contained church and congregation news, articles and obituaries of the clergy, various articles about synods schools and religion, and poetry.  Pioneered by Olof Olsson and Carl A. Swensson in 1879, Korsbaneret soon established itself as the Swedish yearbook of the Augustana Synod.  It was adopted as a part of the Augustana Annual in 1950.
