How many congregations did Janson establish?

The Norwegian writer Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson (1832-1910) encouraged Kristofer Janson (1841-1917) to go to the USA and become Unitarian pastor for the Norwegian settlements in Minnesota. In November 1881 Janson (who was a writer and an Evangelical Lutheran theologian) received Unitarian ordination as pastor in Third Unitarian Church in Chicago. Then he moved to Minneapolis and became an important and well known Unitarian minister among the Scandinavians settled in Minnesota. He founded several Unitarian Congregations of which at least one still exists (to day Nora Unitarian Universalist Church in Hanska, see photo and http://www.norauuchurch.org/index.shtml)

In 1893 Janson returned to Norway and two years later he founded the Norwegian Unitarian church «Church of Brotherhood» but was due to internal conflicts between him and many of the church members forced to leave this church in 1898.

It is well known that Janson inspired the foundation of the Danish Unitarian church in Copenhagen in 1900 where he also sometimes preached. But what is less known is that he also founded a Danish Unitarian church outside Aarhus at a place called Marselisborg Forest. According to Janson the Danish Unitarian pastors Anton Jensen and Høgstedt continued as ministers.

Unike any other Unitarian pastor Janson managed to establish five Unitarian congregations in the USA, one in Norway and one in Denmark. Of these only Nora UU Church has survived to this day.
