[edit] Neutrality

I have some doubts about the neutrality of the article. maybe some sentences should be reformulated.--Greece666 22:36, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Will be easier, if you specify which sentences. Kahkonen 16:36, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redundancy

There seems to be some redundancy between this article and the main Laestadianism article. Does the history and doctrine differ much between the different branches? If so, which article should have the main discussion about the differences? In other words, does this article describe the history and doctrine of Laestadianism or Conservative Laestadianism.Labongo 14:38, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

This article describes doctrine of CL and the beginning of the history of Laestadianism. Now there is not very much about history of CL. Years 1900-2000 is passed by "After this big breakup, some other groups have also departed from..." :-) But I think that there should be some quick explanation about history till break-up in this article and deeper description about it can be in Laestadianism article. Own history of CL starts from break-up. Kahkonen 16:47, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

I have never heard about any Laestadianists here in Iceland, but I follow such things pretty ardently. Pleace point out any sources of this claim and information about their operations here.

What is this church´s view of women ministers?

There was old information about Iceland. There were organized some services in The 20th century (or 1990s). I updated the article and now there is also an answer to your question. Dcba 10:40, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Everybody goes to Hell except Laestadians ?

I have heard from many sources (some of them Laestadian) about their belief that everybody outside their church will go to Hell (I guess it includes almost all English wikipedia readers). It can be either official doctrine or a very common (mis-?) interpretation, on both cases the article should cover this question. Warbola 05:10, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
