Harmony Society  

Definition

  • The Harmony Society (originally known as Rappites) formed in the German province of Würrttemberg under the charismatic leadership of George Rapp (1757–1847) in the late eighteenth century. It developed out of the religious ferment caused by Pietism, a movement that swept through a wide swath of the Protestant Christian world in the late seventeenth century and throughout the eighteenth century.
