Abstract:

In the ninth story of the Moravian series, the author discusses the strict controls exercised by two groups in Salem. As the community began to prosper, simple communal living was abandoned resulting in new forms of control for the spiritual and financial matters of the society. The Aeltesten Conferenz was responsible for the spiritual affairs of the congregation, while the Aufseher Collegium was established to look after the secular, or financial, affairs of the community.
