We’ll explore the tragic, personal story of Oline Pind Muus, the wife of prominent Pastor Bernt Julius Muus. What began as a crisis of “love lost” in a difficult marriage escalated into a very public battle over Oline’s inheritance and her treatment as a pastor’s wife. Kari is the King Olav V Chair in Scandinavian-American Studies, the Norwegian Department Chair, and Program Director of Nordic Studies at St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN.\n\n\n\nMarch 11, 2026\n\nYa Sure, I’m a Norvegin Luteran!\nStoryteller Pati Kachel shares captivating stories honoring her heritage as a Norwegian Lutheran.

We’ll explore their special adaptations and lifestyles as vegetarians who must manage long, snowy winters and multiple predators just to survive another day. You’ll look with new eyes at animals you may have seen many times in your life. Now you’ll know the rest of the story!\n\n\n\nA suggested donation of $10.00 per person covers the entire cost.\n
