1849-1850: Mormons Arrive in Denmark
Freedom of religion was first granted in Denmark in the constitution of 1849. It was an exciting time in Denmark, the beginning of an enlightened age with many of Denmark's famous figures in religion, philosophy, music, and culture at their prime: Søren Kirkegaard, N.F.S. Grundvig, H.C. Andersen, Carl Nielsen, and others.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or as it is commonly referred to, the Mormon Church, was organized in 1830. The first missionaries for the church were sent to the United States and Canada. In 1837 missionaries were sent to England, however very little missionary work was done in other foreign countries until after the Mormons had reached the Salt Lake Valley (Utah, USA) and established themselves there.
