At its edge [.] stand the remaining buildings of the storied Ephrata Cloisters. [.] Here the exuberant religiosity and austere Pietism of eighteenth-century Germany found asylum and sustenance in the tolerant individualism and virgin soil of Provincial Pennsylvania. The Ephrata Community was founded in 1732 by a small group of sectarians under the leadership of Johann Conrad Beissel, a German immigrant fresh from the Continental centers of religious dissent. During the administration of its founder and that of his faithful disciple and successor, Peter Miller [ev. Müller], the settlement became an important cultural center." (etc.; p. IX) - Das Ephrata-Kloster existiert, in musealer Form zumindest, heute noch : "One of America's earliest religious communities, the Ephrata Cloister was founded in 1732 by German settlers seeking spiritual goals rather than earthly rewards. Gathered in unique European style buildings, the community consisted of celibate Brothers and Sisters, and a married congregation of families. At the zenith of the community in the 1740s and 1750s, about 300 members worked and worshiped at the Cloister. Today, the National Historic Landmark is open for tours, special programs, and on-going research opportunities." (Vgl. u.a. ephratacloister, online). - "Founded in 1891, the Pennsylvania German Society is a nonprofit, educational organization devoted to the study of the Pennsylvania German people and their 325+ year history in America. For anyone interested in helping to preserve, advance, and disseminate knowledge of the culture of the Pennsylvania Germans, often known as 'The Pennsylvania Dutch', no investment can pay better dividends than membership in The Pennsylvania German Society" (pgs org, online). -- *identification uncertain: ev. George W. Hartzell (1869-?), "the son of John T. Hartzell, in Union City, Ind." (thetroyhistoricalsociety org, online, cop. 1999!; with photo, and autograph to compare); Hartzell or Hartzel is often found in Pennsylvania and Ohio (see myheritage ch/names) - **William Thomas Parsons (1923-1991), BA, MA, and PhD in History. He became involved in many organizations, such as the Pennsylvania German Society, the Historical Society of Montgomery County, and the Evangelical and Reformed Historical Society (etc.; pabook.libraries.psu edu, online). -- VERSANDKATEGORIE / Weight category / Poids brut 2 kg - Sprache: en.
