Frederick G. Strickland

Frederick G. Strickland was an American 19th century Christian Socialist, of the Knipperdolings denomination.

Frederick Strickland believed in social service as a method of redefining the Christian religion, as a method of "Social Redemption", under the presumption that it could become the "most evangelical religion". He would lecture at colleges to express his views, with at least the Religious Association of Defiance College being one.[1] He is portrayed by the socialist Daily People publication as having "put his foot in the Party's mouth", and described as "freakish".[2]
