Norwegian Lutheran Memorial Church (Minneapolis)
The Norwegian Lutheran Memorial Church of Minneapolis (''Norwegian'' ''Den Norske Lutherske Mindekirke''), better known as Mindekirken, is a Lutheran church in Minneapolis in the U.S. state of Minnesota. It is one of two American churches still using Norwegian as a primary liturgical language, the other being Minnekirken in Chicago, Illinois.〔Grodahl Biever, Joe (2004). "The Founding of Mindekirken" University of Minnesota.〕 King Harald V of Norway is the church's patron.〔(Royal House web page on the King's patronages ) Retrieved 7 November 2007〕
==History==
The congregation of Mindekirken was formed in 1922 by the Norwegian Lutheran Church of America in response to the rapid abandonment of Norwegian in favor of English among Norwegian Lutheran churches at that time.
The Norse-American Centennial Celebration that was held in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in 1925 to commemorate the 1825 arrival of the Norwegian immigrant ship ''Restaurationen'' helped provide the impetus for a "memorial" church to be built to house the new congregation. Mindekirken was finally dedicated on May 4, 1930.
The church has been visited by members of the Norwegian Royal Family on several occasions, including King Olav V of Norway's visit on November 4, 1975. (King Olav was the father of the current King, HM Harald V of Norway.)
