Tirelessly active, under constant fear of execution, he gathered the scattered members of the church, reorganized it and, from the mysticism of the kamizards, returned it to the moderate religion of the fathers ( fr. Les églises du désert ). In 1729 he founded a seminary in Lausanne to train preachers.
