Olof Olsson, a pastor in Sweden's Lutheran pietist movement lead a number of his parishoners to Lindsborg, Kansas, and established Bethany Evangelical Lutheran Church, because the pietists considered the official Swedish tax-supported Lutheran Church to be corrupt. The pietists wanted to worship God and support a Lutheran church which was in line with their pietist beliefs. They did not want to pay taxes to support the State church which they believed was too worldly. Another group of pietists came to Lindsborg later and established the Swedish Lutheran Mission Covenant Church, which later became known simply as the Mission Covenant Church. They came for the same reason, but also may have come to do mission work as their name suggests. Source: Lecture by Rev. Stanley Swanson, professor of New Testament at Bethany College, Lindsborg, Kansas, 1959. Submitted by Wayne K. Westblade, former resident of Lindsborg, Kansas, and a graduate of Bethany College.
