| In 1720 at the age of 30, Beissel set sail
for Philadelphia. When he arrived he found to his shock that Kelpius
had already gone through transition in 1708 at age 35; and the group had
all but disbanded, some marrying and some moving west.
Beissel was totally disillusioned, not only with the group, but with the spiritual apathy that he found in this new country of independence. He remained for about a year with the group, then moved upstream to Lancaster County, to the banks of the Cocalico River to begin preaching and teaching. |
