Arthur Worthington : ウィキペディア英語版 | Arthur Worthington
Arthur Worthington (died 1917) was an American-born Australasian alternative religious leader, bigamist and fraudster in late nineteenth century Christchurch, Melbourne and Tasmania. ==Early alternative religious period (1890-1895)==
Arthur Worthington's documented life began when he settled in Christchurch in 1890, after emigration from the United States. He began to lecture at a local Oddfellows Hall, and rapidly amassed a following, given his views on matters such as metaphysics, natural philosophy and the human mind. Worthington's externally professed sexual ethics were surprisingly conservative and he preached celibacy and the value of the institution of marriage. He established an alternative religious faith entitled the "Temple of Truth." Unfortunately, not even this professed social conservatism was enough to avert the suspicions of Reverend John Hosking, a fundamentalist minister at St Asaphs Free Methodist Church. Hosking investigated Worthington's background, and uncovered ample evidence of Worthington's commitment to the institution of marriage.
