The Latest this Friday, January 21, 2022-Episode 406-Today, Wednesday, January 19, 2022-From the Archives-Historians Episode 215- Michael Doyle is the author of “The Ministers’ War”: John W. Mears, the Oneida Community, and the Crusade for Public Morality.”  A new book on a 19th century utopian community in upstate New York. Wednesday Podcast "36 Minutes"

Unbridled passions threatened nineteenth-century America, a vulnerable young nation already feeling beset by foreigners, corruption, and disease. Purifying crusaders like Hamilton College philosophy professor and Presbyterian minister John W. Mears mobilized to fight every sin and carnal lure, from liquor to free love. In Upstate New York’s famed Oneida Community, Mears encountered his stiffest challenge. Oneida’s founder and patriarch, John Humphrey Noyes, oversaw a radical Christian commune where men and women sexually mingled through the practice of "complex marriage."
