About this audio guide
This guide to Haga Church in Gothenburg opens on Advent Sunday in eighteen fifty-nine, as the city's dean leads six robed priests in to consecrate a brand-new church. It follows two men from very different worlds, a crusading temperance preacher and a Scottish merchant with a brewery, and the question of who paid for the walls around you. Best heard seated in the nave, facing the west organ.
