From 1914 to 1928, he was president of the United Conference of Icelandic Churches.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Canadian Unitarian Liturgical Calendar )〕 Kristjansson was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1920 provincial election as a Labour Party candidate, defeating Liberal incumbent Skuli Sigfusson〔 by 117 votes in the constituency of St. George. The Liberal Party won a minority government in this election, and Kristjansson initially served with the Labour parliamentary group in opposition. He subsequently left the Labour Party to sit with the Independent-Farmer legislative group, loosely aligned with the Progressive Party of Canada. He sought re-election as a candidate of the United Farmers of Manitoba in the 1922 campaign, and lost to Sigfusson〔 by 652 votes. Kristjansson attempted to return to the legislature as a Progressive candidate in the 1927 election, but lost to Sigfusson again.〔 After 1928, he was minister for congregations in Seattle and Blaine, Washington.〔 Kristjansson died in Blaine at the age of 97.〔|〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albert Kristjansson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
