		The Norwegian language issue could be articulated as an expression of a cultural division between Dano-German and Norse currents in Norwegian cultural history (Øyvind Østerud's suggestion), where movements of lay Christianity and teetotalitarianism go together with EC scepticism and nynorsk on the Norse side, confronted with the modernism and extroverted tendencies of the Dano-German trends.
		Norwegian identity, as it is generally defined by Norwegians, is primarily a rural identity, not an urban one.
		This resistance highlights sacred aspects of Norwegian nationhood: it shows the willingness of Norwegians to sacrifice their lives for their country, the importance of patriotism in times of hardship, and the divine destiny of the area, as it were, as an independent country.

		Norwegians were also part of the amazing growth of southern California, where the seven southernmost counties contained 2.7 per cent of the state’s Norwegian population in 1880, 11.7 per cent in 1890, and 12.6 per cent in 1900.
		The Norwegians in San Francisco during this period were largely young men; 91.3 per cent were in the 21 to 40 age group in 1852, 82.7 per cent in that category in 1860, 73.8 per cent in 1870, and 67.8 per cent in 1880.
		Norwegians were assimilated into California society rather quickly, smoothly, and unobtrusively, but it must be acknowledged that an ostensible lack of resistance to assimilation does not signify the total transformation of Norwegians into Americans.

		It was to be expected that a people reared in a state church should encounter many problems in establishing a free religious institution in a strange country.
		If the transition from state church to free church was to start in an auspicious manner, it was highly important that cordial relations between the pastor and the members of his congregation should be established from the very outset of their joint endeavor.
		The transition from a state church in Norway to a free church in America inevitably required major adjustments in the management of parish finances.

	Norwegian Religious Education \| International Humanist and Ethical Union
		SINCE THE beginning of the last century dissidents and other nonmembers of the Norwegian state church have had the right to exempt their children from their school's religious education.
		The main principle has been freedom of religion and because religious education is so closely linked to the state church and the Evangelical-Lutheran confession, it seemed natural that non-members should be excused.
		Without making any of these crucial changes, the committee and later the majority in the Norwegian Parliament decided to establish a Christian Evangelical-Lutheran subject in which all pupils are obliged to participate.
