Author Joy Ibsen is sharing her father’s home movies because very few people took color home movies in the 1940s.
Her father, Rev. Harald Ibsen, took hours and hours of rare color and black and white movies in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.
The movies were taken at locations across the midwest including six churches in four Midwest states at which he was pastor (The Diamond Lake Lutheran Church in Lake Benton, MN; Hope Lutheran Church, Ruthton, MN; Immanuel Lutheran Church, Kimballton, IA; Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, Viborg, SD; Trinity Lutheran Church, Gayville, SD and St. John Lutheran Church, Marquette, NE.), plus Yellowstone National Park and in Denmark.
Sermons used in Unafraid were given by Rev. Harald Ibsen at Christmas, New Year, Epiphany, Lent, Good Friday, Easter, Pentecost, Trinity, and Advent.
Rev. Ibsen belonged to the American Evangelical Lutheran Church (AELC), formerly the Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church, that merged into the American Lutheran Church (ALC) in 1962 that merged into the ELCA in 1987.
Joy Ibsen manages Danamerica, a Danish-American website about her first book Songs of Denmark.
Photographs in Songs of Denmark are by National Geographic photographer Sisse Brimberg and a 70-minute CD of the songs was produced by the Grand View College Kantorei.
Harald Ibsen was an athletic, outdoor person who loved to hunt, fish, hike, play golf, and always had an amazing garden, Joy Ibsen said.
