Olof Christian Telemak Andrén, ambassador of good will
No full textOf the pioneer pastors of the Augustana Church O. C. T. Andrén is perhaps the least known. As the first pastor of the First Lutheran Church in Moline, Illinois, he remained in America only four years, 1856 to 1860. But the result of his labors cannot be measured by this brief period. By his earnest preaching, his faithful pastoral care, his consecrated personality and deep spiritual experience he laid a good foundation for the church he served. As a member of the Mississippi Conference and the Synod of Northern Illinois he made a valuable contribution to the work of welding the scattered immigrant communities into congregations, conferences, and synod. However, his greatest service to the Augustana Synod, organized in 1860, was his mission to Sweden in the interest of the Augustana Seminary.https://digitalcommons.augustana.edu/ahsbooks/1005/thumbnail.jp
