mikä on AALC?

Olen kuullut usein tuon kirjain yhdistelmän. Minua hiunkan hämäsi,kun Amerikan vanhoillislestadiolaisten keskusjärjestö on nyt LLC(Lestadian Lutheran Church). Se oli ilmeisesti aiemmin tuo American Apostolic Lutheran Church. Tämä on osittain arvaus tuon Lutheran kohdalla, kun en aivan 100% varma ole. Olen kuullut tuon kirjain yhdistelmän suviseuratervehdyksissä.

Jaha jaha, olisiko niin, että se olisi ollut käytössä ennen 70-luvun hajaannusta vanhoillisilla Amerikassa, ja hajaannuksen jälkeen sitten Suomen SRK:n kanssa yhteyden säilyttänyt osa perusti LLC:n eli Laestadian Lutheran Churchin? Se osa, joka katkaisi yhteydet Suomen SRK:hon, taisi olla enemmistönä, joten tämä entinen nimi AALC jäi sitten ilmeisesti heille?

Who We Are

The Laestadian Lutheran Church (LLC) was organized on June 9, 1973 under the name "Association of American Laestadian Congregations" (AALC). The association changed its name in 1994 in order to better convey its spiritual heritage and the nature of its organization.

The Laestadian Lutheran Church takes its name from Martin Luther and Lars Levi Laestadius. The name of the reformer Martin Luther and his teachings are well known around the world. The name of Laestadius is less familiar. Lars Levi Laestadius was a Lutheran pastor who served in northern Sweden from 1825 to 1861. In 1844, after nineteen years in the ministry, Laestadius was helped into living faith by a woman named Milla Clementsdotter, a member of a group known as "Readers." Following his conversion, Laestadius's sermons were instilled with a new power, the power of the Holy Spirit. A revival movement began and soon spread far beyond the borders of Swedish Lapland.

The movement first reached North America with Finnish immigrants in the 1860s. Congregations were first formally organized in Cokato, Minnesota in 1872 and Calumet, Michigan in 1873.

Today the Laestadian Lutheran Church has twenty-nine member congregations in the United States and Canada. The highest concentrations of members are in Minnesota, Washington, Arizona, Michigan, and Saskatchewan. The congregations are served by sixty-eight ministers, nearly all of them lay preachers.

The Laestadian movement in North America has suffered a number of schisms since 1890. The subjects of disagreement have primarily been the understanding of justification, God's congregation, and the sacraments. The last division occurred in 1973, and was the impetus for the establishment of the Laestadian Lutheran Church.

The teachings of Laestadianism are based on the Bible and the Lutheran Confessions. Centermost among these teachings is the sermon of Jesus' suffering, death, and victorious resurrection. The work of Jesus Christ continues in this world as the work of the Holy Spirit in Christ's congregation. Thus the Laestadian Lutheran Church teaches of God's kingdom and preaches repentance and the forgiveness of sins. We hold, in accord with the Lutheran Confessions, that the Bible is the highest guide and authority for Christian faith, doctrine, and life.

Siitähän se selvisi. Eli ensin 73-hajaannuksen jälkeen oltiin AALC vuoteen 1994 asti, ja sen jälkeen LLC. Mikähän nimi sillä toisella 73-hajaannuksessa syntyneellä ryhmällä mahtaa olla, First Apostolic Lutheran Church? Sen niminen kirkko ainakin on Amerikassa olemassa.
