Braucherei
The Red Church Discussion Forum
The purpose of this group is to discuss the practice of the folk healing among the Pennsylvania Dutch (or Germans) as detailed in the book "The Red Church, or The Art of Pennsylvania German Braucherei: The Traditional Blessed Healing Art for the Good of Man and Beast" by C.R. Bilardi, Pendraig Publishing, 2009.

Braucherei, or Pow-Wow, is primarily based in Christian German folk spirituality. Therefore, the orientation of this group is Christian. All thoughtful discussion is welcome, however, we have a zero-tolerance policy for anti-Christian comments, or other forms of bigotry, prejudice, or racism.

Any and all aspects of Pennsylvania German culture are also up for discussion as they relate to its Christian heritage.
