Powers writes that the good from this is that they are now acknowledged as a Protestant community. He discusses more news from the community, including the imprisonment of two of their brethren, the first baptism, the first Lord's supper, the organization of a church, and the death of one of their number. He also remarks on the revival in the Nestorian community and news of Protestant churches now organized in several other locations in Turkey.
