abstract
| - Enoch Wiley was a Free Independent Presbyterian minister in Grantville. He was the "yahoo preacher" who married Tom Simpson and Rita Stearns on the day the Ring of Fire fell in 2000, as the Wiley and Stearns families had been friends for generations. Following Grantville's arrival in 17th century Germany, Wiley went from being the minister of a dying congregation to having one that included members of almost every variety of Calvinism. Wiley's theology was fairly strict, and he was as fervently opposed to the papacy and the Catholic Church as any down-time Calvinist firebrand. However, that did not carry over into his personal interactions and relationships with individuals. He had no problem with giving shelter to the remnants of the Celtic mission who found their way to Grantville, other than that Brother Aidan reminded him of his son John Enoch, who had joined an Episcopalian monastic order, and had been left up-time. On March 4, 1635, while attempting to quiet an anti-Semitic demonstration in front of Grantville's new synagogue, Wiley and Henry Dreeson were assassinated by sniper Mathurin Brillard, a follower of Michel Ducos, a radical French Huguenot.
