aster carver Phillip Odden, pictured at right,
puts finishing touches on the
replica model door portal, the
first material manifestation of
dreams for a future stave
church at CLU.
He and his Norwegianborn wife, Else Bigton, are
both carvers who live on a
farm in Wisconsin where they
raise Fjord horses. They are
driving to California for the
Scandinavian Festival, bringing the portal with them, as
well as some of their other
carvings that will be for sale.
During the Scandinavian
Festival opening ceremony,
Larry Johnson, SACHF president, will introduce them and
give the history of the portal,
as well as the vision for the
future.
The portal will be set up
at the SACHF booth so people
will be able to walk through it.
The 38th annual festival will run from
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 14 and

Beginning Saturday morning with a
colorful parade, Danish, Finnish, Icelandic,
Norwegian, Swedish and Saami participants in their traditional costumes, carrying
flags of their Nordic countries, will proceed

around the festival stage and surrounded
by food booths serving popular Scandinavian meals and delicacies.
Flags and banners will festoon the area to create a colorful festival atmosphere.
Entertainment will continue on the festival

STAVE CHURCH PORTALS, METALWORK
REPLICAS ARRIVING AT CLU
‘All the proportions are just perfect’
— Kjetil Groven
Borgund Stavkirke at Lærdal in
Western Norway is the only
stave church that has remained
unchanged since the
Middle Ages
photo by Ernst F. Tonsing
REPLICA ORNAMENTS — Blacksmith Kjetil Grovel with the
keyhole plate and knocker he made for the stave church door.
NORWEGIAN-BORN BLACKSMITH MAKES
REPLICA TRIMMINGS FOR CHURCH DOOR
Kjetil Groven was born in
Skien, Norway, the largest town in
Telemark. He came to the U.S. in
1999 to finish his degree in mechanical engineering at South
Dakota School of Mines and
Technology. He met his wife Lori
during that time and has lived in
the U.S. ever since.
After a while, he found out
that working as an engineer was
not what he wanted. “Engineering
was too little hands on work. So I
started working as a log home
builder, and then I started to do
blacksmithing, the reason being
that I could make my own tools for
log construction.”
He joined a local blacksmith
group and took a couple of
4
classes, but mostly he is selftaught in both wood and blacksmith work. He also had three
years of school as a farm mechanic in Norway, “so that gave
me a good metal background.”
His first big blacksmithing job
was for the Borgund stave church
in Rapid City, South Dakota, for
which he made the hand railing
on the outside of the church.
“I am drawn to stave churches and other old Norwegian buildings, first of all for the craftsmanship,” Groven said. “It is amazing
how they got it done with the simple tools they had in those times.
The architecture is also very appealing to me – all the proportions
are just perfect.”
Nordic Spirit Newsletter
The stave church door portals, a magnificently re-created version of the ornate
carved panels framing the door of the
Borgund Stave Church in Norway, will be
officially dedicated during the opening ceremony of the Scandinavian Festival.
Master woodcarver Phillip Odden will
drive to CLU from his home and workshop in
Wisconsin with his masterful portal, which
will be on display at the SACHF booth during
the Scandinavian Festival.
The portal is a scaled copy of the panels
on the Borgund Stave Church in Norway.
The arrival at CLU represents a step toward
the dream of building a replica of an authentic stave church erected on the CLU campus.
Odden was commissioned by the Scandinavian American Cultural and Historical Foundation to carve the panels. Funds were
raised by contributions from members and
friends desiring to preserve Scandinavian
heritage with this iconic tribute.
Odden and his wife, Else Bigton, are
master carvers of the ancient styles found on
stave churches in Norway. They made portals for stave churches at Disney World Epcot Center, which is an 80% replica of the
Borgund church, and the full-scale replica of
the Gol Church in Minot, North Dakota. The
patterns for the carving were taken directly
from the original church.
The Borgund Stave Church, located in
Lærdal, Norway, on the Sognefjord, is the
best preserved of Norway's 28 extant stave
churches. It was built sometime between AD
1180 and 1250.
The dream of seeing a stave church
replica at CLU originally stems from Jim
Hage, a member of Aasgaarden Sons of
Norway Lodge, Monterey, who has pledged
to make a major donation toward its fulfillment, as part of his estate plan.
In an article in CLU’s Horizons magazine, Hage, who had been looking for a West
Coast site for a stave church reproduction,
noted that he chose CLU because it is “a
strong institution with vision for the future,
and I am pleased to commit a major gift to
enrich its facilities, programs and connections to the vitality of Nordic cultures.”
Members of the CLU Stave Church Advisory Committee are Eloise Cohen, Siri
Eliason, Sandra Grunewald, Tim Hengst
(CLU), Larry Johnson, Allan Leland, Richard Londgren, Bob Melsness and Howard
Rockstad.

‘Preacher’s Kid’ and his new book
LEONARD SMITH TO LEAD
FESTIVAL DISCUSSION
A book by SACHF board
member Leonard Smith, emeritus
professor of history at CLU, is receiving rave reviews in scholarly
publications such as The Lutheran
Quarterly and American Historical
Review.
Religion and the Rise of History: Martin Luther and the Cultural
Revolution in Germany, 17601810, published by Cascade
Books, addresses the 18th century
emergence of a new view of history
called historicism. In it, Smith describes how Martin Luther's thought
and a distinctly "Lutheran ethos"
deeply influenced the rise of a
modern historical consciousness
during the formative period of modern German thought, education,
and culture from 1760 to 1810.
In The Lutheran Quarterly,
Mark Mattes of Grand View University, Iowa, calling it a “remarkable
book,” notes that Smith is describing the rise of historicism, the notion that all thought is shaped by
history, which was included in Lutheran thought.
Nordic Spirit Newsletter
According to Smith, Luther’s
interpretation of the Lord’s Supper
represents a set of values that
Lutherans share, an “in-with-andunder” way of viewing life by which
God’s spirit animates the world.
‘...in-with-and-under’
Richard L. Gawthrop of Franklin College wrote in the American
Historical Review, "Nevertheless,
Religion and the Rise of History,
the product of several decades of
teaching, reading, and reflection, is
a work of outstanding originality
and deserves a wide readership.
Smith's thesis has major, potentially transformative, implications for
the fields of historiography, German cultural history, and the history of Western Christianity."
Smith, a true “PK,” (that is, a
“Pastor’s Kid”) is indeed the son of
a pastor. He will lead a discussion
on “Confirmation, The Parsonage
and PKs” at the Scandinavian Festival from 12 to 1 p.m. Saturday
and Sunday in Room 101,
Nygreen Hall.
ANITA’S CORNER
SCANDINAVIAN CENTER:
A FOUR-IN-ONE
OPERATION
By ANITA HILLESLAND LONDGREN
Scandinavian Center Program Director
Wednesdays at the Scandinavian
Center are always very busy – and
sometimes full of surprises! We can
never anticipate who will come in the
front door. Generally, those who do
are folks we already know. But, occasionally a “first timer” or a visitor or a
SACHF member who hasn’t come
before will be one of our “surprises.”
One recent Wednesday, we had
FOUR (count as separate arrivals)!
All were interesting people, but one
I considered “unique.”
As I saw her closing the front
door, I went over to greet her (thinking
it was someone else who had been
absent for several weeks), but this
visitor told me that she has been
coming on Tuesdays for the lacemaking group, but never had time to
look around. So, she had come that
day “to see the museum.”
[Wow! I thought to myself. How
encouraging!] After welcoming her,
I handed her a Self-Guided Tour
brochure and encouraged her to look
around. A few minutes later, she
asked me if there is a library, too. As
we walked through the kitchen, I
pointed out the rosemaled doors on
the cabinets, and some of the items in
the “map room” and then into the
library/office area. I explained about
the collection and left her to browse.
How happy I was to see her sitting at
the table with a book or two that had
caught her attention!
REGISTERED MUSEUM
In addition to serving as an
activity center – for Brown Bag Lunch
programs, Norwegian and Swedish
language classes, a lace-making
group, meeting location for the
SACHF board and the local Sons of
Norway board, plus various committees for both organizations – the
center is also a registered historical
museum in Ventura County, with Fred
Tonsing serving as SACHF’s representative (currently it is number 25 on
the brochure). It is also an extension
of the Cal Lutheran Pearson Library
(a growing number of interlibrary loans
are being processed by Pearson
Library’s Kathy Horneck,
Interlibrary Loan Coordinator), and it is
a genealogy center under the leadership of Jerry Baldwin.
Sometimes I refer to the center
as a “four-in-one” operation.
BROWN BAG LUNCH SPEAKERS
Niels Mikkelsen
Eloise Olson Cohen

Recent Brown Bag Lunch (or
BBL) programs have featured such
speakers as Eloise Olson Cohen,
daughter of Cal Lutheran’s second
president Raymond Olson; George
Lange and Jim Friedl from the
Conejo Recreation and Parks District,
Bob Ritterbush showing recently
acquired Baltic Viking antiques; and a
Thousand Oaks High School instrumental quartet led by Cole Syverson,
Norwegian-American student and cello player. From the CLU School of
Management, Bonnie Johnson tackled the question, “What Makes IKEA
Successful?”
Addressing her Finnish roots and
Michigan background, Mary Hekhuis
charmed the BBL group with readings
from her abbreviated family history/
recipe book – and the samples of
cookies she brought based on some
of those recipes! Earlier in the year,
Erling Dugan enlightened us about
Norwegians in Brooklyn, some of
whom live out here now.
Coming next, Connie and Niels
Mikkelsen telling about their lives in
Denmark, Canada and the U.S., Dr.
Jackson Crawford from UCLA’s
Scandinavian Studies Dept. will talk
about “Runes,” and SACHF board
members will attend to talk about
SACHFs history.
And sometime this Spring,
“Scandinavian Suite,” music recently
composed by SACHF board member
Fred Tonsing, will be performed.
A new, larger TV has been
installed, and several items have been
moved around to give them better
visibility or protection. In the process,
items that were almost out-of-sight
have been placed in locations where
they can be easily viewed and
admired.
CLU SCANDINAVIAN CLUB
Assisting several CLU students
who are interested in forming a Scandinavian student club on campus (first
ever!) has been an on-going activity
since the first of the year, and after
developing a budget and constitution,
the five officers are close to submitting
their application to CLU’s Student
Senate. Two of the girls volunteer to
help set up cookies and coffee for our
BBLs, assisting Sandee Kane and
me, for an hour each Wednesday
morning. Stay tuned for more
developments next time!
