Your rights were seized long ago

This search entry is from a book about the Ohio German Baptists. The full title is:

"Roots by the River" The History, Doctrine, and Practice of the Old German Baptist Brethren in Miami County, Ohio

By these dates, the Lord's Supper in homes had been repeatedly forbidden. And no meetings were to be held unless the Bishop was present or approved. "Where there is no Bishop - there is no church."

Heavenly Father, please have your way and put an end to these seizures. And let your universal holy priesthood rise up.

Today, we remember your ancient words, spoken by Moses to Pharaoh: Let my people go that they may serve me!

In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
