- Title
The Rise of the Royerenes in Colonial New London.
- Authors
Lim, Susan
- Abstract
The article discusses the origins of the Rogerenes religious sect. Particular focus is given to the influence of overseas commerce and the transatlantic trade on the religious beliefs of Rogerenes founder John Rogers. The influence of Seventh Day Adventist beliefs on Rogers, his attempts to reconcile Sabbatarian principles with those of the Congregational Church, and his exposure to Quaker practices are examined. The tenets of the Rogerene movement are presented and include adherence to the Trinity, the importance of the Holy Bible, and acceptance of the Calvinist view concerning salvation.
