The Saxon Exodus to America Did Not Arise from Persecution but from Prosecution.
Syphilitic Stephan Was Under Arrest. His Career Was Over.
narrow-minded has left a new comment on your post "Another Resurgence of Rationalism in the Lutheran ...":
From what I recall from "Zion on the Mississippi," it would be a false claim to say the Saxons came to the States to escape persecution. Had Stephan not defiantly held his illegal small group meetings, the government would have left him alone. I'm sure the "late night nature walks" with the ladies didn't help his credibility in either country. Stephan rings of Jim Jones and other cult leaders. Is that Kool-Aid in the chalice?
