Sandemanians
The Glasites were a small Christian church founded in c.1730 in Scotland by John Glas. Following his expulsion from the Church of Scotland in 1728, Glas and his followers were considered dissenters. Glas's teachings, as part of the First Great Awakening, were spread by his son-in-law Robert Sandeman into England and America, where the members were known as Sandemanians.
