The history of the Lutheran Church in the region of New York has its beginning contemporaneously with the beginning of the state of New York. Already at the time of the earliest explorations of that territory and the settlement of the first Dutch colony, we find traces of Lutheranism. True, the Lutherans never were a very large force; and, as a body, they had 1ittle to do with the shaping of New York’s development; nevertheless, Lutheranism was present. There was, also a nernber of individuals of, whose secular work the Lutheran Church can well be proud. In our discussion we shall attempt to follow the Church from its very first signs until the time of Justus Falckner, who died in 1723. Actually, we shall proceed a little further in our story until 1750 where there is a logical stopping place.
