Church and Religion

In an effort to avoid repetition of the religious conflicts of central Europe that had plagued most of the eighteenth century, the Volga German colonists were assigned to colonies based largely upon their religious affiliation. One, therefore, finds colonies made up primarily or exclusively of one of three religious groups: Evangelical (what we would today call Lutheran); Reformed; and Roman Catholic.
