Zoar  

Definition

  • Zoar was a communal society founded in Ohio in 1817. A group of German Pietist Separatists—called Separatists because they had broken with the established Lutheran church—left southeastern Germany to escape persecution for their belief that the church should be bereft of all ceremony.
