In March 1842, Lugenbühl’s church was legally incorporated as the German Orthodox Evangelical Congregation of New Orleans and Lafayette. In December 1843, this church split into two factions, which were subsequently reunited in 1844 as the German Evangelical Orthodox Church in New Orleans.

Apparently, Jacaway had arranged an appointment to meet personally with Sans on 28 January 1844, but Jacaway had been unable to come because of his health. He tried to visit Sans the next day, but Sans was not at home, which prompted Jacaway to write to him instead. Reverend G. J. Wegener reported that Sans served as the minister for Lugenbühl’s church until the end of 1843. After his departure the congregation split into two factions, each of which “claimed sole ownership of the Church.” (Wegener, St. Paul’s Congregation U.A.C. of New Orleans, 2–3.)

View Full BioThis congregation met in a church on the southwest corner of Port and Craps (now Burgundy) streets. Reverend G. J. Wegener described the congregation as a “thoroughly unionistic aggregation, in which everyone, without distinction of confession or faith had the same rights, everyone having his own confessional standpoint, or, rather, no confessional standpoint at all.” (Wegener, St. Paul’s Congregation U.A.C. of New Orleans, 2–3; Bozant, Port and Burgundy, 4.)

According to notices published in a New Orleans newspaper, Brown was preaching at Lugenbühl’s church every Sunday at eleven thirty in the morning and seven o’clock in the evening. (See Notice, Daily Picayune [New Orleans], 14 Jan. 1844, [2]; and “Notice for Preaching,” Daily Picayune, 4 Feb. 1844, [2].)

On 6 November 1843, Brown obtained an elder’s license, but the licensing record does not indicate who ordained him. At some point after being appointed to work on the temple, Brown reportedly “asked for another mission, and as he seemed to think himself uncommonly well qualified to teach, Hyrum [Smith] appointed him (in mere irony) to preach to the Twelve, the High Priests, and the authorities of Nauvoo.” (General Church Recorder, License Record Book, 118; “Lo Here! Lo There!,” Gospel Herald, 30 May 1850, 81.)

Fields Jacaway’s letter to Sans made no mention of a plan to accuse Brown openly during a church meeting.
