Talk:Johann Jakob Wirz

Needs checking
May require check that Wirz had any connections with Samuel Heinrich Fröhlich or whether the two men started two very different movements. I am told (by email) that the two groups had no connections at all with one another, that their doctrines were hugely different and thirdly Samuel Heinrich Fröhlich has a very detailed diary, which mentions nowhere Wirz. Given that the name "Nazarene" is fairly generic, the fact that the two men lived about the same time doesn't mean that there's a connection. Sources say Wirz founded a sect called the Nazarener in Switzerland but Fröhlich Swiss church may not ever have used that name. Needs further investigation, but more than possible that the connection of the name is simply coincidence. Thanks to the user who sent me the email. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:51, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
