" The transformation of warmly philosemitic British Israelism into dangerously anti-Semitic Christian Identity is in itself almost an accident of history, the result of its adoption by religious and political activists whose thinking was already moving along racist lines. Among those earliest writers responsible for this development was Reuben H. Sawyer (b. 1866), a minister in Portland, Oregon, where he led an active Anglo-Israel Research Society. Sawyer lectured throughout the Northwest and helped establish the British Israel World Federation in London in 1920. At the same time, Sawyer found the leisure to serve as leader of the Ku Klux Klan in Oregon from 1921 to 1924." [2] Doug Weller talk 12:54, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
