Seekers
The Seekers, or Legatine-Arians as they were sometimes known, were an English dissenting group that emerged around the 1620s, probably inspired by the preaching of three brothers – Walter, Thomas, and Bartholomew Legate. Seekers considered all organised churches of their day corrupt and preferred to wait for God's revelation. Many of them subsequently joined the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). Origins Long before the English Civil War there already existed what the English Marxist historian, Christopher Hill, calls a "lower-class heretical culture" in England. The cornerstones of this culture were anti-clericalism and a strong emphasis on Biblical study, but specific doctrines had "an uncanny persistence": Millenarianism, mortalism, anti-Trinitarianism, Hermeticism and a rejection of Predestination. Such ideas became "commonplace to seventeenth-century Baptists, Seekers, early Quakers and other radical groupings which took part in the free-for-all discussions of the ...

The spacecraft is paired with a communications relay, called Kenobi, that provides an interface to the Cygnus vehicle. The spacecraft is design to be as automated as possible, requiring minimal input from the ground in order to complete its mock inspection mission.

Seeker (Anabaptism)
A Seeker is a person likely to join an Old Order Movement, Old Order Anabaptist community, like the Amish, the Old Order Mennonites, the Hutterites, the Old Order Brethren, Old Order Schwarzenau Brethren or the Old Order River Brethren. Among the 500,000 members of such communities in the United States there are only an estimated 1,200 to 1,300 outsiders who have joined them. A major obstacle for seekers is the language, because most Old Order communities speak German dialects like Pennsylvania German or Hutterite German in every day life and in general will not give it up for seekers. Exceptions are the Virginia Old Order Mennonite Conference, Old Order Mennonites of Virginia, the Old Order Brethren, Old Order Schwarzenau Brethren and the Old Order River Brethren who speak English only. On the other hand, Conservative Anabaptism (inclusive of the Dunkard Brethren Church and Conservative Mennonite denominations, including those of the Beachy Amish tradition) regularly receive seek ...
