Evangelical Sisterhood edit

Latest comment: 9 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

My wife and I both visited the Evangelical Sisterhood c. 1970 and found it a rich blessing. We have stayed on their mailing list and donated to them regularly ever since.

A great deal of information about the Evangelical Sisterhood of Mary is found on their own website and in books by the founders. Key books about their early years are "Repentance the Joy-Filled Life" and "Realities." Another important source would by M. Basilea's autobiography, "I Found the Key to the Heart of God."

Testifying to their strong stand against anti-Semitism are, M. Basilea's book "Israel, My Chosen People" and The Jerusalem 2001 Convention: "Changing the Future by Confronting the Past."

I am an infrequent and inexperienced contributor, so I do not know how to use this information. As a reference work, I am sure Wikipedia wants more than just information from the Evangelical Sisterhood and their co-founder. I myself have many questions about the founder's lives and associations before WW2 (Did they sign the Barmen Declaration? Did they know Bonhoeffer?)

However, I a not aware of any objective/ reliable writing by a reasonably scholarly source. They have been attacked a couple of times, as almost every "outside the box" religious movement I know of has. Suggestions or collaboration welcome! Rev.trw379 (talk) 22:12, 29 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

@Rev.trw379: Since an issue noted with the article in its present form is that it lacks any citations of reliable sources for the information presented here, perhaps you could help by adding some of these using the sources you mention? Note that though they are preferred if available, sources do not need to be online; citations (including page number) of printed books are also welcome. Even though the books are by the founders, presumably they passed through some sort of editorial review so may be considered reliable. Thanks. Dwpaul ^Talk 20:32, 12 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
