Maria Åkerblom, Karin Bäcklund

"The Åkerblom Movement" - Attempted murder and perjury are not usually associated with a Christian movement. But members of Maria Åkerblom's cult would be convicted for both of them. In her youth Maria Åkerblom (1898-1981) experienced holy visions and revelations. She became a so-called sleep preacher who held her sermon in a translucent state, claiming that her words came directly from God.
