Branded heretics by Jerusalem's established Christian missionaries when they arrived in 1881, the Spaffords nevertheless won over Muslims and Jews with their philanthropy. When her husband Horatio died, Anna assumed leadership, shocking even her adherents by abolishing marriage and establishing an uneasy dictatorship based on emotional blackmail and religious extremism.
