Welcome to the Society of the Descendants of the Schwenkfeldian Exiles

The primary objectives of this Society are:

· The preservation of the history of the Schwenkfeldian religious exiles and their descendants in America.

· The promotion of social interaction among its members.

The Society of the Descendants of the Schwenkfeldian Exiles is not officially affiliated with the Schwenkfelder denomination, a religious body with six churches in Pennsylvania located in Philadelphia, East Norriton, Lansdale, Worcester, and Palm, although some Society members are also active members of the Schwenkfelder denomination. The Society does, however, work with the denomination and the Schwenkfelder Library & Heritage Center, 105 Seminary Street, Pennsburg, PA 18073 in its efforts to preserve the Schwenkfelder beliefs and history.

The name of the Society is long. Frequently it is shortened to "Schwenkfeldian Exile Society" or simply “Exile Society” reminiscent of the reason why our forefathers came to this country between 1731 through 1737.
