Records 1924-1995

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/137290453

This series comprises records generated by Eben-Ezer Lutheran Care Center and retained by the Deaconess Community of the ELCA. Dates are 1924-1995. Record types include a constitution, correspondence, books, periodical issues, pamphlets, leaflets, list of deaconesses, reports, orders of worship, funeral service bulletin, clippings, picture postcards, a video, and others. Most records are printed or typed, but a few are handwritten. The typewritten report by Sister Anna Poulsen in the first folder is of special interest, as are the issues of the periodical Una Sancta. This periodical was started by the Rev. Jens Madsen, the founder of Eben-Ezer. The issues here contain a serial publication "Retrospective Musings of an Old Man," in which Pastor Madsen describes the founding of Eben-Ezer. The 1952 report of the National Lutheran Council (NLC) of the study of Eben-Ezer which the NLC conducted is also of interest and is supplemented by much of the correspondence, letters to and from Sister Anna Ebert, directing sister of the Philadelphia Motherhouse of Deaconesses. Letters from Sisters Bertha Roose and Sigrid Nelson, directing sisters at Eben-Ezer, the Rev. Victor E. Bagger, superintendent at Eben-Ezer, and Henrietta Lund of the National Lutheran Council, and Sister Anna Ebert's replies, address the problems at Eben-Ezer in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Other correspondents include Sister Anna Poulsen, the Rev. K. M. Ludvigsen, the Rev. Anders Steensen, Sister Katherine Mohrsen, Pastor Jens Madsen, and Sister Ingeborg Hansen, who write on various topics. English is the primary language, but a few records are in Danish. There are 15 picture postcards and 41 photographs. All of the postcards and 40 of the photographs as black and white; one photograph is in color. Condition of the records is good.
