The Norwegian Family has opened up a new center in Tromso

They set up a witnessing stand in downtown Oslo, giving new inspiration to their witnessing work, and enabling them to contact a broader spectrum of people than formerly. Also their information stands at the University continued to provide good experiences for their members.

They also organized several training weekends for members in a cottage not far from Oslo. “It was a wonderful experience for everybody; hours of intense study, breaks with singing and deep conversation, long walks in the forest and around the lake.

The Norwegian translation of the Principle is continuing, and some new study materials were prepared. They also printed up some big red posters which they hope will capture more people’s attention.

The Norwegian Family, as well as the other Scandinavian Families, often have give and take with the German Family, where they send many of their members for training. Viggo Jorgensen writes about one such visit to the German Family’s new Headquarters in Camberg: “Here in a country where I should have been a stranger, in a country which had been to war with my own country in the not too distant past; that I could feel like a brother in the midst of many brothers and sisters already the first minute — it was overwhelming! It was then I realized once and for all, the most precious thing we can accomplish with spreading our message is to unite mankind in heart
