Ole Peter Petersen
Ole Peter Petersen (April 28, 1822 – 1901) is credited as the founder of Methodism in Norway and co-founder of Norwegian and Danish Methodism in the United States.
Ole Peter Petersen was born in Fredrikstad, Norway the son of Peter Hansen, a ship’s carpenter and his wife, Catherine. Peter Hansen deserted his family in 1825, and a year later Catherine died. Petersen had thoughts of becoming a clergyman, but his low social status and lack of opportunity for higher education combined to discourage such a notion. He opted for the sea instead, leaving Fredrikstad in 1836. In 1845, during a stop in Charleston, South Carolina, Petersen heard a series of sermons that brought him to a consciousness awareness of Methodism.〔''Methodism from America to Norway''(by Arne Hassing. Norwegian-American Historic Association. Volume 28: Page 192)http://www.naha.stolaf.edu/pubs/nas/volume28/vol28_08.htm〕
Washington Prairie Norwegian Methodist Church located outside Decorah, Iowa is considered the mother church of Norwegian-American Methodism. Ole Peter Petersen first established this church and later returned to his native Norway where he established the first Methodist congregation in that country.〔(Some Winneshiek County Historic and Interesting Sites )〕
