In the Wake of the Second Great Awakening
Caspar Schwenckfeld von Ossig: Recommended Resources
From the Archives: Waldensian Legend Concerning the Donation of Constantine to Pope Sylvester (date unknown)
This early document tells in a remarkable and fanciful form the Waldensian story of how the Church had come to compromise with the world. Though The Poor were not around until the 12th century, mention is here made of their presence in the 4th century. They could, however, claim solidarity with ancient Christians who rejected worldly wealth and power.
The Time for Prayer: The Third Great Awakening
During the Third Great Awakening of 1857 to 1859, 10,000 people in New York City alone gathered together daily—even left work—to pray. The same thing was taking place all over the country, in small towns as well as in great cities.

A 15th-century Waldensian poem
In the Wake of the Third Great Awakening
The Landing of the Schwenckfelders from the St. Andrew
From the Archives: A Barba of San Martino (1451)
This is an excerpt from a written account of the heresy trial of Filippo Regis. Waldensians were routinely questioned about their knowledge of the elusive barba—the itinerant Waldensian spiritual leaders. Such accounts are often distorted: it is unlikely a barba would have taught to deny the virgin Birth, or to deny that "the sons" could perform miracles.
Sleepers Awake
From the Archives: Subjects Discussed at the Meeting at Angrogna
(or, the Confession of Chanforan) 1532

From A Calabrian Prison (1560)
An excerpt from a letter of Waldensian pastor Giovan Paschale, who was hanged in Rome in 1560.
