Stegmann Christopher,  the younger, was the son of Joachim Stegmann, the elder, and brother of Joachim Stegmann, the younger. It has been thought, that he is the person sometimes mentioned in the Acts, under the name of Christian Stegmann. In 1640, he was supported out of the funds of the Church, with a view to his preparation for the ministry at Clausenburg, and to the pursuit of his theological studies in the house of Morscovius. In 1643, while an alumnus of the Socinian Church, he acted as an assistant in the School of Luclavice. In 1645, the children of Andrew Moscorovius were committed to his charge. In 1651, at the Assembly of Czarcow, he was advised to confine his attention exclusively to the study of Theology. In 1653, he was sent to Sluck, in the Palatinate of Novogrodek, to instruct the youth of that place. In 1655, at the Assembly of Raszcow, he was appointed colleague to his brother Joachim, who presided over the Church of Siedliski. In 1656, or 1657, he removed, with some of his hearers, into Silesia; took up his abode at Kreutzburg, under the protection of the Duke of Brieg; and made occasional preaching excursions into Poland. His name is not affixed to the letter of the Unitarian exiles, dated Kreutzburg, June 17^th, 1661, and inserted in the last Chapter of Lubieniecius's " History of the Reformation in Poland." From this circumstance, Bock infers, that he was either not living at that time, or had removed to some other place.
