18th-century Protestantism
The 18th century lasted from 1 January 1701 (represented by the Roman numerals MDCCI) to 31 December 1800 (MDCCC). During the 18th century, elements of Enlightenment thinking culminated in the Atlantic Revolutions. Revolutions began to challenge the legitimacy of monarchical and aristocratic power structures. The Industrial Revolution began mid-century, leading to radical changes in human society and the environment. The European colonization of the Americas and other parts of the world intensified and associated mass migrations of people grew in size as part of the Age of Sail. During the century, slave trading expanded across the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, while declining in Russia and China. Western historians have occasionally defined the 18th century otherwise for the purposes of their work.

Origin The sect was formed in the residence of Anna Maria van den Aveelen in Södermalm in Stockholm. She was the widow of the artist Johannes van den Aveelen from the Netherlands. She gathered women to meetings of prayer and Bible studies. The Bible meetings became popular, and attracted more and more people, among them the radical pietist Sven Rosén, who turned the Bible study group into a sect. The congregation of the Gråkoltarna consisted of both sexes; however, females had a dominating and leading place. Among the members were members of the noble families Grundelstierna and von Strokirch, as well as the Bryntzenius family and female domestics and wives of soldiers. Ideology Gråkoltarna believed in the interpretations of dreams and visions, and their message was that the apocalypse was ap ...
