Iroquois Confederacy
Conrad Weiser
b. 11.2.1696 Herrenberg, Wurtemberg
d. 7.13.1760 Womelsdorf, Pennsylvania
Conrad Weiser was a Pennsylvania Dutch pioneer, interpreter and diplomat between the Pennsylvania Colony and Native Americans. He was a farmer, soldier, monk, tanner and judge.
He was an ally to the Iroquois. He contributed as an emissary in councils between Native Americans and Pennsylvania during the 18th century's tensions of the French and Indian War (Seven Years' War).
He was born in Germany in the last part of the 17th century.
Herrenberg
Herrenberg is located in the southwestern part of Germany. It is is situated on the western edge of the Schonbuch forest. It is a town in the middle of Baden Wurttemberg. Baden Wurttemberg is a state that sits east of the Rhine River and forms the border with France.
The County Palatine of the Rhine was a palatinate. The word is drawn from the Latin palatium. It is the word for palace. The palatinate is the office. It was administered by the Count Palatine of the Rhine.
The fragmented territory stretched from the left bank of the Upper Rhine from the Hunsrück mountain range into the adjacent parts of the French regions of Alsace and Lorraine to the opposite territory on the east bank of the Rhine in present-day Hesse and Baden-Württemberg.
The Duchy of Wurttemberg was a member of the Holy Roman Empire from 1495 to 1806. The dukedom survived for nearly four centuries mainly due to its size. It was larger than its immediate neighbors. The duchy faced great pressure from the Holy Roman Empire to remain a member during the Protestant Reformation.
The German Palatines were 18th-century emigrants from the Middle Rhine region of the Holy Roman Empire. They were both Protestant and Catholic. The wealthy region was repeatedly invaded by French troops towards the end of the 17th and into the 18th century. The invasions resulted in continuous military requisitions, widespread devastation and famine.
The "Poor Palatines" were some 13,000 Germans who migrated to England between May and November 1709. Their arrival in England, and the inability of the British Government to integrate them, caused a highly politicized debate over the merits of immigration. The English tried to settle them in England, Ireland and the Colonies.
The Weiser family was among the Poor Palatines.
Conrad Weiser
He was born as Johann Conrad Weiser on November 2, 1696 in the small village of Affstadt in Herrenberg in the Wurttemberg Duchy.
His father (Johann Conrad Weiser, Sr.) was stationed as a member of the Württemberg Blue Dragoons. Soon after Conrad's birth, his father was discharged from the Blue Dragoons and moved back to the family ancestral home in nearby Großaspach.
The boy's mother, Anna Magdalena, died of fever in 1709. Conrad Weiser (senior) wrote for his children, "Buried beside Her Ancestors, she was a god-fearing woman and much loved by Her neighbors. Her motto was Jesus I live for thee, I die for thee, thine am I in life and death."
The Palatine area had been ravaged by the French invasions and pestilence. The winter of 1709 was especially long and harsh.
Conrad Weiser and his family were among thousands of refugees who left German lands that year. They traveled down the Rhine River then sailed to England. Support had been offered for Protestant refugees.
Thousands of Palatine German refugees made their way to London seeking escape from the harsh conditions. There were so many that the English had to make a camp for them outside the London walls for the winter.
The following year in 1710, the Crown (under Queen Anne) arranged for transport in ten ships of the nearly 3,000 Germans to the New York colony. New Amsterdam had become New York in 1664.
The Crown supported the migration of the immigrants to help settle the New York colony. The plan was that they would work off their passage in a form of indentured service in camps devoted to producing ships' stores, such as tar and other materials. Later they would be allowed to trade their work for land.
Most of the Germans were first located in what were called the East and West Camps along the Hudson River, near Livingston Manor.
It was not until 1723 that some 100 heads of families received land grants in the central Mohawk Valley, under Governor Burnetsfield. The Mohawk River ran east to west between the Adirondack and the Catskill mountains across the middle of the colony.
Weiser senior managed to move his family to the Schoharie Valley earlier than that. Schoharie Creek was about 30 miles (48 km) southeast of the Mohawk Valley.
When Conrad was 16 his father agreed to a chief's proposal for the youth to live with the Mohawk in the upper Schoharie Valley. Weiser learned much about the Mohawk language and the customs of the Iroquois during his stay in the winter and spring of 1712-1713.
Cold, hunger and homesickness were among the hardships that he endured. Conrad Weiser returned to his own people toward the end of July 1713.
Weiser married Anna Eve Feck on November 22, 1720 at the age of 24. Anna was a daughter of Johan Peter Feg and Anna Maria Risch.
The couple followed the Susquehanna River south out of New York and settled their young family on a farm in Womelsdorf, Pennsylvania near present-day Reading in 1725. The couple had 14 children. Only 7 reached adulthood.
Weiser's colonial service began in 1731. The Iroquois sent Shikellamy, an Oneida chief, as an emissary to other tribes and the British. Shikellamy lived on the Susquehanna River at Shamokin village near present-day Sunbury, Pennsylvania.
An oral tradition holds that Weiser met Shikellamy while hunting. The two became friends in any case. When Shikellamy traveled to Philadelphia for a council with the province of Pennsylvania, he brought Weiser with him. The Iroquois trusted him and considered him an adopted son of the Mohawk.
Weiser impressed the Pennsylvania governor and council. His services as an interpreter were used heavily thereafter. Weiser also interpreted in a follow-up council in Philadelphia in August, 1732.
Shikellamy, Weiser and the Pennsylvanians negotiated a deed whereby the Iroquois sold the land drained by the Delaware River and south of the Blue Mountain during the treaty of Philadelphia in 1736.
Pennsylvania's agreement to purchase from them represented a significant change in the colony's policy toward the Native Americans since the Iroquois had not until then laid claim to this land.
William Penn had died in 1718. He had never taken sides in disputes between tribes.
The Pennsylvanians were favoring the Iroquois over the claims of the Lenape/Delawares for the same land by this formal purchase. This treaty by Penn's sons exacerbated Pennsylvania-Lenape relations. The Walking Purchase of the following year increased tension further.
The Lenape became disenchanted with the English colonials as a result. They sided with the French during the French and Indian Wars. The Lenape took part in actions against the colonists that caused many deaths. Penn's purchase persuaded the Six Nations of the Iroquois to continue to side with the British over the French.
The French and Indian War took place between 1754 and 1763. Three wars between Britain and France started in Europe, then moved to North America. Once the conflict broke out in America, it was fought by colonial militias. The French and Indian War broke this pattern.
Weiser acted as the interpreter for a number of treaties prior to the outbreak in hostility. He traveled to Onandaga, NY to negotiate for peace between the Iroquois and southern tribes during the winter of 1737.
He interpreted a treaty between the Iroquois and English colonials at Philadelphia in 1742. He acted as the interpreter for the Treaty of Lancaster between representatives of the Iroquois and the colonies of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia in 1744.
Pennsylvania sent Conrad to Logstown, a council and trade village on the Ohio River, in 1748. Virginia and Pennsylvania colonial officials acted as if they had been sold settlement rights to the Ohio Valley, but the Iroquois did not believe they had done so.
Weiser traveled again to Onondaga in 1750. He found the political dynamics in the Six Nations had shifted. Canasatego, always pro-British, had died. Several Iroquois tribes were leaning toward the French. The Mohawk remained pro-British.
Weiser was a member of a Pennsylvania delegation to Albany early in the summer of 1754. It was the eve of the eruption of the French and Indian War. The English government had called the meeting to win assurance of Iroquois support in the looming war with the French. The Iroquois and seven colonies sent representatives.
The council did not result in the treaty of support which the crown desired due to the divisions in the Native American tribes with respect for the British.
Each colony made the best deal it could with individual Iroquois leaders. No single person spoke for the Iroquois League. Bands acted independently in this and other wars.
Weiser negotiated one of the more successful agreements. Some lower-level chiefs deeded to the colony most of the land remaining in present-day Pennsylvania. This included the southwestern part of the land for the colony that Virginia also claimed.
The government appointed Weiser and Ben Franklin to lead construction of a series of forts between the Delaware River and the Susquehanna River in 1756.
Weiser attended a council at Easton, Pennsylvania in the fall of 1758. Colonial leaders from Pennsylvania met with the Iroquois and other Native American tribes. He helped to smooth over the tension.
The tribes in the Ohio Valley agreed to abandon support for the French with the Treaty of Easton. This collapse of Native American support was a factor in the French decision to demolish Fort Duquesne and withdraw from the Forks of the Ohio.
Weiser built on his knowledge of Native American languages and culture to become a key player in treaty negotiations, land purchases and the formulation of Pennsylvania's policies towards Native Americans. He helped to keep the powerful Iroquois allied with the British.
Weiser combined farming with other trades like many other colonists when he wasn't negotiating for a treaty. He was a tanner, merchant, land owner and speculator.
He drew the plan for the town of Reading in 1748, was a key figure in the creation of Berks County in 1752 and served as its chief judge until 1760. Conrad Weiser was also a teacher and a lay minister of the Lutheran Church. He was one of the founders of Trinity Church in Reading.

Weiser died on his farm on July 13, 1760. He was buried on a small hill slightly west of his home.
One Iroquois noted to a group of colonists, "We are at a great loss and sit in darkness... we cannot so well understand one another." Relations between the colonists and the Native Americans began to decline after his death.
The Conrad Weiser Homestead in Womelsdorf, PA continues to serve as an interpretive center for 18th century farming, political and colonial history. It hosts regular re-enactments, especially of events during the French and Indian War.

Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension with those who taught that circumcision was necessary for salvation. They were appointed with some others to go to Jerusalem to discuss the question with the apostles and elders. They went on their way by the church. They reported the conversion of the Gentiles as they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria. It brought great joy to all believers. They were welcomed by the church, the apostles and the elders when they arrived in Jerusalem. Some who belonged to the sect of the Pharisees stood up and said, 'It is necessary for them to be circumcised and ordered to keep the law of Moses.'
The apostles and elders met together to consider the matter.

The Bible
Helena of Constantinople
c.246/248
d. 330 Rome, Roman Empire
Helena was an Empress of the Roman Empire. She was the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great.
She was born among the lowest of commoners, possibly in Drepana, Bithynia. Drepana is known as Hersek in modern times. It is about 82 km (51 miles) from Istanbul, formerly known as Constantinople.
Bithynia is a province located next to the Black Sea in Asia Minor. The location in the north west made it a strategic point of interaction between Greeks, Romans, Armenians and Persians (Parthians). It was positioned between the frontiers of the Danube in the north and the Euphrates in the south-east.
Drepana was in the western part of Bithynia. It was on the southern side of the Gulf of Astacus. The gulf is also known as Izmit Bay.
She became the consort of the future Roman Emperor Constantius Chlorus (reigned 293–306) and the mother of the future Emperor Constantine the Great (reigned 306–337).
Helena ranks as an important figure in the history of Christianity and of the world due to her influence on her son. She made a religious tour of Syria Palaestina in her final years. She allegedly discovered the True Cross during her visit to Jerusalem.
Helena gave birth to the future emperor Constantine I on 27 February, 272. Constantius divorced her some time before 289 in order to obtain a wife more consonant with his rising status.
Helena and her son were dispatched to the court of Diocletian at Nicomedia. Constantine grew to be a member of the inner circle. Helena never remarried. She lived for a time close to her only son in obscurity. He had a deep regard and affection for her.
Constantine was proclaimed Augustus of the Roman Empire in 306 by Constantius' troops after the latter had died. His mother was brought back to the public life in 312 in her return to the imperial court and following his elevation.
She received the title of Augusta in 325. Her conversion to Christianity followed her son becoming emperor according to Eusebius.
Helena undertook a trip to the Holy Places in Palestine and other eastern provinces in 326-328. She was responsible for the construction or beautification of two churches according to Eusebius of Caesarea.
The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem and the Church of Eleona on the Mount of Olives were blessed by her administration. The churches were built on the sites of Christ's birth and ascension, respectively.
Jerusalem was still being rebuilt following the destruction caused by Titus in 70 at the time of Helena's pilgrimage. Emperor Hadrian had built during the 130's a temple over the site of Jesus's tomb near Calvary, and renamed the city Aelia Capitolina.
"There was a temple of Venus on the spot. This the queen (Helena) had destroyed," according to Eusebius. Helena ordered the temple torn down and chose a site to begin excavating according to a legend that arose at the end of the 4th century.
The excavation led to the recovery of three different crosses. Helena had a woman who was near death brought from the city. When the woman touched the first and second crosses, her condition did not change, but when she touched the third and final cross she suddenly recovered.
Helena declared the cross with which the woman had been touched to be the True Cross. Constantine ordered the building of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on the site of discovery.
Helena died around 330 with her son at her side. She was buried in the Mausoleum of Helena outside Rome on the Via Labicana.

99 Dominus regnavit
1 The Lord is King;
let the people tremble; *
he is enthroned upon the cherubim;
let the earth shake.
2 The Lord is great in Zion; *
he is high above all peoples.
3 Let them confess his Name, which is great and awesome; *
he is the Holy One.
4 "O mighty King, lover of justice,
you have established equity; *
you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob."
5 Proclaim the greatness of the Lord our God
and fall down before his footstool; *
he is the Holy One.
6 Moses and Aaron among his priests,
and Samuel among those who call upon his Name, *
they called upon the Lord, and he answered them.
7 He spoke to them out of the pillar of cloud; *
they kept his testimonies and the decree that he gave them.
8 "O Lord our God, you answered them indeed; *
you were a God who forgave them,
yet punished them for their evil deeds."
9 Proclaim the greatness of the Lord our God
and worship him upon his holy hill; *
for the Lord our God is the Holy One.

Feel
Sharon Leal
Have you felt the ecstasy of union?
Has there been a time when you felt
connected to everything in existence?
Has another person helped you to feel
that all things will work out despite adversity?
Ecstasy is the beginning of love.
It is a refuge for the oppressed
in times of trouble.
Those who know that your faith
is the ground for your faithfulness
will trust you. You will be an example
for all ages.
Knowledge is the beginning of wisdom.
Instruction begins with definitions and examples,
then tests fairly for retention.
Watch the word grow to form
with function for meaning in truth
and fair social selection.
Sing songs about your experience
with love. Proclaim the wonders
of education with creativity
to the world.
Justice will require proof of truth
for judgment. The Avenger will not forget
the cry of the afflicted, but retribution
will not impose cruelty for correction.
Have mercy on those who suffer attack
from hate or indifference. Have mercy
on those who have seen the gates to death.
Eternal joy shines from beyond the sight
of light says the experience
close to the loss of life.
Salvation celebrates
civility for the living.
Lessons on law are drawn
with respect for life.
Belief in violence
is a bitter pit
in an empty soul.
Belief in cruelty
only digs another hole.
Justice is scientific.
Action produces consequence.
Moral acts are legal.
Crime calls for correction.
The ‘more war’ morality
is not moral. Those who believe
that life is ruled by the threat of death
are misled by the error.
The needs of the poor
will not remain forgotten.
Hope for goodness in the quality
of life will be rewarded.
The industry for war
will not retain the upper hand.
Freedom will restore equity
to the economy and fair trade
to the market. The market
will correct the profiteers.
Ecstasy is the beginning of love.
It is a refuge for the oppressed
in times of trouble.
エクスタシーは愛の始まりです。

a refuge in time of trouble.
10 Those who know your Name will put their trust in you, *
for you never forsake those who seek you, O Lord.
11 Sing praise to the Lord who dwells in Zion; *

12 The Avenger of blood will remember them; *
he will not forget the cry of the afflicted.
13 Have pity on me, O Lord; *
see the misery I suffer from those who hate me,
O you who lift me up from the gate of death;
14 So that I may tell of all your praises
and rejoice in your salvation *
in the gates of the city of Zion.
15 The ungodly have fallen into the pit they dug, *
and in the snare they set is their own foot caught.
16 The Lord is known by his acts of justice; *
the wicked are trapped in the works of their own hands.
17 The wicked shall be given over to the grave, *
and also all the people that forget God.
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, *
and the hope of the poor shall not perish for ever.
19 Rise up, O Lord, let not the ungodly have the upper hand; *
let them be judged before you.
20 Put fear upon them, O Lord; *
let the ungodly know they are but mortal.

Old man had
written (Sun.Jun.24,2012 2:01pm):
Who wrote the Bible? A God or men?
Did a God
ever declare "He" (God) "inspired" its content or did men
claim "He" did?
If both answers are "men," then why
should we believe the Bible?
===============
Old man,
others,
There were female
authors.
People were
inspired to write about God by virtue of religious experience.
Reading the
bible helps develop historical perspective, when historical perspective is
valued as the frame of reference. Believing the bible requires prioritizing
passages in relation to the commandment to love. Part of prioritization is
de-prioritizing those parts that are offensive and outdated.
There are biblical
passages that were included in concession to imperial success.
"Herem" or the advocacy of 'devotion to destruction' is an extremely
offensive biblical concept. This advocacy amounts to a justification for
genocide. It is without question, the most objectionable part of the bible
record.
There are
other parts that promote forms of punishment that are clearly outdated, but the
immature reader may interpret them as a call to societal regression in cruelty.
These passages qualify as markers of where some people in society had been in
terms of using cruelty and inequity in leadership as counterpoints to the promotion of justice
and equity in the economy.
These
counterpoints are still objectionable, yet there are those who use them to
relentlessly oppose any opposition; the basis for tyranny.
People of
faith promote love, providence, liberty and justice. These are the parts of the
bible that we prioritize as values for society.
