Michael Belina Czechowski
No full textMichael Belina Czechowski was born in Poland and raised in the Roman Catholic Church. On becoming a priest, he entered the Stopnica Monastery. He soon became disillusioned with the church, believing many of his fellow clergy to be corrupt. He was also in danger because he was involved with the Polish nationalism movement. He traveled to Rome, where in October 1844 he met with Pope Gregory XVI, hoping to strengthen his faith. However, the meeting only further convinced him that the Catholic Church was corrupt. Czechowski left the Catholic priesthood in September 1850. The same year, he married Maria Virginia Delavouet in Solothurn, Switzerland and began work as a bookbinder in Brussels. Czechowski met Seventh-day Adventists in 1856, and at a camp meeting in Findlay, Ohio in 1857, he joined the Adventist church. After conversion, Czechowski continued to work among the French Canadians in Quebec and New England, this time as an Adventist minister together with Daniel T. Bourdeau. In 1860, he moved to New York City, where he established a church in Brooklyn and worked among the French, Poles, Italians, Germans, and Swedish Americans. He published a book in 1862 about his experiences in Europe, entitled “Thrilling and Instructive Developments.
