Dwight Moody: the evangelist who nearly wasn’t « Churchmouse Campanologist



Dwight Moody: the evangelist who nearly wasn’t « Churchmouse Campanologist:

"Moody’s visits to the UK made news in Sweden. Swedish pietists invited him to travel there but he never did. Nonetheless, the Swedish Mission Friends looked forward to reading his sermons and sang Sankey’s hymns. Swedes who emigrated to Chicago attended Moody’s church."

GJ - I highly recommend this series. Moody was very important. I grew up listening to WDLM radio from Chicago, a city with a large Swedish population.

Augustana began as a Pietistic mission, but became confessional, as the name suggests. I look forward to future installments.
