At the age of 25, Hauge had an experience with God that changed both him and the whole of Norway. Through preaching, writing and publishing own books, business establishments, by employing both the mentally and physically ill, and elevating women as both preachers and business leaders. Hauge stood in the breach for a Norway that did not go down well with the State, which in turn revived the Konvetikkelplakaten to prevent Hauge from spreading the message of equality for all. The price was high, but Hauge and his successors left an indelible mark on modern Norway.
