LANDES

The Rev. George Anderson Landes

Conducting genealogical research I am also sometimes curious about

people who somehow appear related to facts and documents involving

ancestors.

Months ago I found, by chance, in the books of the Civil Registry of

Botucatu/SP (research in a CHF of the IJCSUD of the seat of the 2nd

marriage of one of my 4th paternal grandparents named Luis Antonio

Braga (Itapetininga, 1827 - ?), son of Captain Luis Castanho de

Almeida and the Uruguayan Isidora Bengoechea, with Constancia Maria

Conceição, both widowers.

It was the civil conversion of a religious wedding held on 11/17/1883 in

Santa Cruz do Rio Pardo/SP.

What caught my attention is that this religious wedding had been cele-

brated by Pastor GA Landes of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church,

something rare at the time.

Consulting the researcher of the History of Santa Cruz do Rio Pardo,

Celso Prado, he informed me that he was the North American missionary

Reverendo George Anderson Landes. And that the records of that church

in that city were totally lost.

Out of curiosity, I read about this missionary and discovered that he was

a Reverend of the Presbyterian Church in the USA who arrived in Brazil

in 1881 and was a Presbyterian pioneer in São Paulo, Paraná, and Santa

Catarina.

George Anderson Landes was born February 7, 1850, in Milroy, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, and married Margareth N. Sheeder. The couple lived in Botucatu/SP for a few years where they founded the Escola Americana (or Botucatuense), later managed by Colégio Mackenzie in São Paulo, and had 10 children, including Phillipe Sheeder Landes (Botucatu/SP, 1883 - São Paulo/SP). , 1966) who was married to Margaret B. Hall, daughter of North American immigrants living in the interior of São Paulo. Phillipe along with his sister Maud Landes was active in the missionary and educational field in the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul.

In researching the US Immigration documents scanned on the Family Search website, I located two processes for issuing George's passport in 1880 and 1921, whose images follow below. He died in Pasadena, California on 12/30/1938.

Presbyterianism in Santa Catarina

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Presbyterianism is the fourth largest historic Protestant denominational family in the State of Santa Catarina (behind Lutherans, Adventists, and Baptists ), corresponding to 0.19% of the state's population. Therefore, it is one of the states with the lowest percentage of Presbyterians in Brazil, although it presents great growth in the region in the 2000s and 2010s.

Story

In 1877 the Rev. Alexander L. Blackford, agenda of the American Bible Society, was the first Presbyterian missionary to visit the State of Santa Catarina. Subsequently, in 1889, George W. Chamberlain was sent as a missionary by the Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Brazil.

In 1887 missionary Emanuel Vanorden passed through the state, from a mission to Rio Grande do Sul. His work did not result in the founding of any church in the intended state, but the conversion of Francisco Lotufo, in Santa Catarina. After his conversion, he also felt called to the pastoral ministry, moving to São Paulo to study Theology at the Presbyterian Seminary.

In 1896, Francisco Lotufo began a Presbyterian work in São Francisco do Sul, already having a degree in Theology, having as his first professor the Portuguese João da Cruz Salvado. Lotufo works through religious conferences, held in a hotel in the city. In the same year, 26 people were ready for baptism and profession of faith.

In the same year, Rev. George Landes, pastor of the Curitiba Presbyterian Church held the first official service and baptized 9 adults and 4 children.

However, work in the state capital only started later. In 1898, Rev. James Burton Rodgers moved to Desterro (now Florianópolis ). The following year the Rev. James was replaced by Rev. Roberto Frederico Lenington, after moving to the Philippines.

From 1900 onwards the Rev. James Theodore Houston (father-in-law of Rev. Roberto Frederico Lenington) began to assist the missionary work in the state. In the same year, the first Presbyterian church in the state was organized in São Francisco do Sul and in 1901 in Florianópolis. Both churches were part of the Southern Presbytery, created in 1990.

The first professed members, from then on, were received in Lages in 1907, the year in which two more churches were organized, one in Xanxerê and the other in Jordão. In 1909 another church was organized in Camboriú so that Presbyterianism continued to grow in the state.

Other cities that received Presbyterian missionary work at the same time were: São José, Palhoça São Migue, Tijuquinhas , Caieiras , Ganchos, Tijucas , Bom Retiro , São Joaquim , Orleans , Pedras Grandes , Tubarão and Laguna .

In addition to these missionaries, others who contributed to the growth of Presbyterianism in the state were Rev. Ashmun Salley and Ver. Lino da Costa. John Benjamin Kolb also contributed to the founding of the American School of Florianópolis in 1903.

Later, Rev. Tancredo M. da Costa (son of Rev. Lino da Costa), was also a pastor in Florianópolis. In 1910, Rev. George Anderson Landes took over the job in the state capital. This same pastor was responsible for receiving the first professed in São Francisco do Sul in 1896, when he was a pastor in Curitiba. In 1914 the Rev. George Anderson returned to Paraná.

In addition to the pastors, the church counted on the contribution of other members to its growth, such as Dr. Eliézer dos Santos Saraiva (1879-1944), son Francisco Rodrigues dos Santos Saraiva (former priest), who contributed as an elder of the United Presbyterian Church of São Paulo .

In addition to foreign missionaries, the state capital also received other national pastors, such as the Revs.: Júlio Nogueira, Aníbal Nora, Palmiro Ruggeri, Nelson Omegna, Tancredo Costa, Agenor Mafra, Armando Amorim and others. The American missionaries, however, continued their work in the interior of the state, among them: George L. Bickerstaph, Harry P. Midkiff, Latham E. Wright, and Floyd Sovereign.

spin-off

Presbyterians stood out in the State for encouraging education and creating schools. Among the intellectuals of Florianópolis linked to Presbyterianism are: João Teixeira da Rosa Júnior, Laércio Caldeira de Andrada.

In 1903 the Presbyterian Church of Brazil (IPB) suffered a split that gave rise to the Independent Presbyterian Church of Brazil (IPIB). In this split, part of the members of the church of São Francisco do Sul left the church and gave rise to a new local church linked to IPIB.

In the early years of the 20th century, the change of pastor in the Presbyterian Church of Florianópolis proposed preaching outdoors, in addition to the church and members' homes. Not being the measure supported by the Council, a disaffected group wanted to leave and start a second Presbyterian church in the city.

For not accepting the decision of the Presbytery of the South, which was against the division of the church in two, in 1929 a group separated from the Presbyterian Church of Florianópolis, giving rise to the Independent Presbyterian Church of Florianópolis, being supported by João Teixeira da Rosa Júnior. , Laércio Caldeira de Andrada.

end of the 20th century

Among the Presbyterians who stood out in this period was Deputy Paulo Stuart Wright (son of Rev. Latham), who disappeared during the military regime.

In 1956 the Presbytery of Florianópolis was created, unfolding in 1981, with the creation of the Presbyteries of Planalto Catarinense and Vale do Itajaí. In 1982, the Southern Synod of Brazil was organized, which has the jurisdiction of the three presbyteries of Santa Catarina.

Other pastors who contributed to the growth of Presbyterianism in the last decades of the 20th century were the Revs. Waldyr Carvalho Luz and Osvaldo Henrique Hack.
