Laestadianism is a Christian denominational movement within Lutheranism, originating from the teachings of Lars Levi Laestadius (1800-1861), a Finnish Lutheran pastor. It emphasizes personal conversion and a strict moral code, and is characterized by a strong emphasis on social and charitable works. Laestadian communities are often rural, and their practices and beliefs are heavily influenced by their Scandinavian heritage. Some key principles of Laestadianism include the importance of personal evangelism, the necessity of spiritual rebirth, and the need for individual and collective moral reform.
