Complete history of its founding in 2019 Heritage Book
 
The Danish Church Abroad, or DKU for short, can celebrate its 100th 
anniversary this year. A centennial must be commemorated and 
celebrated. It's an occasion to look back and reflect on the many 
milestones over the years. Although DKU, now DSUK, is based in 
Denmark, its mission and work are carried on outside the country.
 
Since its founding, DKU has helped and supported various big and small 
congregations across Canada. Indeed, Canada was one of the countries 
singled out early on for special consideration, due to the dire need 
for funds and pastors in the 1920's and 30's, and again in the 1950's and 
60's when Danish immigrants streamed to Canada. It is not an 
understatement to say that DKU has made a substantial contribution to 
church life among Danes in Canada, and thus to the Danish community in 
general, and continues to do so.
 
To mark the 100th anniversary a fifteen page article about DKU, 
complete with photos, has been published in the Danish Federation's
2019 Heritage Book.
 
Much could be written about DKU's impressive global outreach, but in 
the 2019 Heritage Book the focus is on how DKU was established, and 
very briefly on some of the highlights of the contribution DKU has 
made to church life among Danes in Canada over the past century.
 
Copies of the 2019 Heritage Book can be purchased from Liselotte 
Ostergaard
in Toronto; from Pastor Charlotte Berg in Calgary; from 
Svend B. Nielsen in Edmonton and from Ed Kuhlman in the Surrey, 
Burnaby and Vancouver area.
 
Regards,
Rolf
