	Ephrata Cloister
		Parallel to recounting the positive accomplishments of Conrad Beissel and the members of Ephrata Cloister, this document attempts to examine one aspect of the story which few historians or researches have endeavored to address.
		was enticed from her family to live at Ephrata, the wife of the Elder at Falckner's Swamp left her husband who forcibly took her back several times, and Brethren historians claim that Elder Martin Urner of Coventry begged his wife to remain faithful, to which she did.
		During the early to mid-years of Beissel's supervision, the cloistered dwellers at Ephrata prospered and accomplished many noteworthy projects, but as his darker side gradually became more evident, their growth and effectiveness was stymied.

		Joseph Konigmacher, of Ephrata, was elected president of the society then formed to erect a monument, and two years later, on the anniversary of the battle of Brandywine, cornerstone ceremonies were held, attended by the Governor of Pennsylvania, and by several who were in Ephrata in 1777.
		Ephrata's part in the later wars will be dealt with in other chapters; and probably the most important event not yet reviewed is that of 1891, which changed the status of Ephrata from village to borough.

	The fascinating history of Puritans and their successful Sabbath Keeping communes - at BibleStudy.org
		Ephrata responded with acts of charity, building cabins for settlers arriving in the aread, providing a free school for children, and offering free bread from a newly-built bakery.

	Alchemy of the Voice at Ephrata Cloister
		The principles that governed the composition of the tunes mirrored alchemical relations; the dietary regulations imposed on choral group members aimed at the spiritualization of the voice; and the relations between Beissel and the group members were tinctured with the drama of the alchemical love and war that played out within him.
		Ephrata was known to the outside world for the unearthly quality of its singing, which most Ephrata scholars concede cannot be reproduced, since it was not a mere product of musical training.
		The principle source of meterial concerning Ephrata, the Chronicon was based on excerpts from a community diary kept by one Brother Jethro (referred to as Lamach in the title) until his death (the date of which is uncertain), when it was taken up by another brother.
