    1 (explanation)"Christkatholische Gemeinschaft" is a group within the Catholic church which does not recognize the ultimate authority of the Pope. Its church structure is based on the synodal system. It also allows women to enter into priesthood. It does adhere to some of the Catholic practices like the Eucharist for example. It is fully recognized in Switzerland along with the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestant-Reformed Church.

    Peter Heim chronicled an equally fascinating emigration story during this time, named "the Kingdom of Bally"

    Gottfried Wyser - trade unionist for Bally (33)

    Gottfried Wyser, born in 1872 in Gelterkinden, entered into the Bally shoe factory in 1887 starting his apprenticeship. He roamed the globe for many years (finding himself in the French Foreign legion and fought in Indochina as well as Madagascar).

    He finally returned to his job. He re-entered the services of Bally enterprise, this time in Schönenwerd. In 1907 he became the spokesman in a strike and was sympathetic to anarchistic concepts. (34) After the strike Bally let him go.
