About this date: This was a movement over decades. The 1783 marker refers to Nicodemus's final form of Concerning Continual Communion, not the movement's beginning.

The Kollyvades defended inherited worship practices while also urging more frequent, prepared reception of the Eucharist and renewed attention to ascetical texts.
