Three Fires Muster as Brooklyn Preacher Rides World Tour
In a May 14 1694 departure note from Brooklyn pastor T De Wat Tauuan he reflects on three fires consuming his Brooklyn Tabernacle, the meaning of the disaster, and how it presses him toward humility and a broader mission as he begins a journey around the world with family and supporters watching. He recalls cross continental rail travel, meetings with notable figures, and warns against idolizing buildings or praise while forecasting new doors opening after the blaze. He closes from San Francisco on May 36, noting a sleeping car berth confusion amid travel logistics.
