Bacon's "Secret Society": The Ephrata Connection

Preface.

Linda S. Schrigner, at Ephrata Cloister in the Summer of 1983

Presentation Revised, Parts Rewritten, and Formatted for the Internet
Early January - May 5, 2002

Rosicrucians trace the history of our spritual tradition as far back in history as the Pharaoh Akhnaton and beyond. The name Rosicrucian, however, did not become known publicly until late in Reformation 16th Century when the Rosicrucian Manifesto leaflets were distributed. There are certain periods of time when so little was recorded about Rosicrucian activities, that the history becomes obscured to the public mind. In particular, how much is really known about the early Rosicrucians in America? In "Bacon's 'Secret Society': The Ephrata Connection," this question and a number of others is addressed.

Today in 2002, I have prepared this internet version of a slide program about the Ephrata Cloister and European roots; it is for public edification now as a revision of the original program that was researched a number of years ago by Linda S. Schrigner, et al¹. I have also added many more salient points than originally presented especially in Section III, and have written, completely new, "Conclusion 2002". I am very pleased at this time to present on the internet in behalf of Rosicrucians everywhere:
