About Pietisten
Pietisten takes its inspiration and design from the newspaper of the same name that was published by C.O. Rosenius and P.P. Waldenström in Sweden during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. We base our format on what were regular or frequent elements of the original Pietisten: Commentaries on the lectionary texts by Luther, Rosenius, Waldenström, and others; ecclesiastical concerns; theological discussions; hymns; poetry; and selected news items. We welcome your participation and responses to any and all articles.
Pietisten Premises
To intend blessing
To take people as they present themselves to us
To seek no other authority
To engage with friends in an open conversation and to expand our friendships
To keep alive a tradition of spontaneous voices in the congregational and democratic traditions
To bless all forms of human endeavor and ministry
To seek a thankful heart and to look for the gospel
To be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves–as understood and informed by Martin Luther King, Jr.’s sermon “Strong Mind, Tender Heart”
To enjoy the liberty to say and print anything we want and let it be subject to criticism by anyone who is interested
