SUMMARY:FoLA Meeting February 2025 - Mads Christensen: A Danish pastor in New Zealand
DESCRIPTION:FoLA Meeting February 2025\nMads Christensen: A Danish pastor in New Zealand\nDuring the 1870s there was a significant emigration from Scandinavia to the North Island of New Zealand. Some three thousand Danes\, Norwegians and Swedes settled on land allocated by the government in Wairarapa and southern Hawkes Bay. To minister to them\, the first Danish Lutheran pastor arrived in 1878. Mads Christensen was sent to New Zealand in 1886 by the Inner Mission\, an association within the Church of Denmark. He was pastor of the Danish Lutheran congregation in Palmerston North\, the region’s largest town\, from 1894 to 1927.\n\nDavid Hilliard is a former associate professor of History at Flinders University. He is an expert on Australian religious history of the Anglican church since 1945 and secularization of modern life\, and previously served as associate editor of the Journal of Religious History\, advisory editor of Anglican & Episcopal History\, and as a member of the international advisory board for the Journal of Ecclesiastical History.\n\n\nAlso available via YouTube LiveStream: https://www.youtube.com/@friendsoflutheranarchives9644/live\n\nSpeakers: David Hilliard\n\n$6 donation at the door.

SUMMARY:FoLA Meeting 27 Mar 2025 - FoLA AGM & The Biar family divided (Geoff Saegenschnitter)
DESCRIPTION:FoLA Meeting March 2025\nFoLA AGM (7pm)\nThe Biar family divided: Emigrants on two continents (Geoff Saegenschnitter) (7.30pm)\nWhile researching and publishing the Biar family history in Australia in 1971\, Geoff Saegenschnitter discovered that the Biar family were of Wendish origin rather than German\, and that two Biar brothers left their home in Groditz\, Saxony within two months of each other in 1854. One went to Texas USA and the other to South Australia\, never to see each other again. Quite by accident\, 41 letters from SA to the Biar family in Texas from 1881 to 1926 to successive generations of the Biar family were found and have been translated. \nToday\, Geoff maintains contact with the family in Australia\, USA and Germany and is a member of the Wendish Heritage societies in SA\, Victoria and Texas\, and his presentation will focus on all these aspects. \nGeoff is the current Chairman of FoLA and author of a number of family and local history books. \nAlso available via YouTube LiveStream: https://www.youtube.com/@friendsoflutheranarchives9644/live\n\nSpeakers: Geoff Saegenschnitter\n\n$6 donation at the door.

SUMMARY:FoLA Meeting 20 August 2026 - The Plains Capital - Sedan 1870-2020
DESCRIPTION:FoLA Meeting August 2026\nThe Plains Capital – Sedan 1870-2020\n\nThe town of Sedan on the Murray Flats was created in 1870 as a private town and as such holds an interesting place in the South Australian narrative. Johann Wilhelm Pfeiffer who established the town was the only German to do so. He helped many of the early businesspeople establish and with his support the town flourished. Within 15 years it had grown to be the heart of this farming area 30 kms to the east of the Barossa.\n\nAuthor of the latest Sedan history book\, Susan Grieger\, will tell us of its rich history as a town with a strong Lutheran Germanic nature. She will explore the highs & lows of its past\, what has shaped its character and what remains today.\n\n\nAlso available via YouTube LiveStream: https://www.youtube.com/@friendsoflutheranarchives9644/live\nSpeakers: Susan Grieger\n$5 donation at the door. No bookings required.
