Plain Thoughts on Secret Societies

Meer over het boek

Exploring the historical divide within the United Brethren churches, this work delves into the contentious relationship with Freemasonry that shaped their evolution. John Lawrence, a historian and abolitionist, reflects on the anti-Masonic sentiments that contributed to the 1889 schism, leading to the formation of two distinct denominations. The larger group eventually merged with the United Methodist Church, while the Old Constitution United Brethren preserved their anti-Masonic stance. This edition honors Arturo de Hoyos, a prominent researcher in Masonic history.
