My name is Geoffrey Stavros. In April of 2005, while doing research work on my Master's

thesis, I made an appointment at the Library of Congress to examine a 218-page volume printed

in 1931 entitled simply observations of the practices of the Light Herders. The text was

written by a man named Lucas Demetrios. After two years spent living on a commune on the

ejected from the country entirely under pressure from Orthodox religious leaders. There is

little evidence that tells us exactly why they came to the States, so the Light Herders were

often spoken of in Greece at that time with seemingly irrational fear. They were led by a man named
