'''Julian Federick Hecker''' (1881-1938) was a [[Christian]] minister who settled in [[Soviet Russia]] in the 1920's.
He was born in [[St. Petersburg]], [[Russia]] but moved to the [[United States]]. Here he attended [[Baldwin Wallace College]], graduating in 1910. He went on to [[Drew Theological Seminary]], [[Madison, New Jersey]]. He then stated his intention to return to Russia to serve the [[Methodist Episcopal Church]]. Hecker served as a student pastor in the USA and, speaking fluent Russian, he became assistant pastor of the Peoples' English Home Church in [[New York]] handling the needs of the 75 Russian members.<ref name="Kimbrough">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
During the [[First World War]], Hecker served as secretary to the U. S. [[War Prisoners' Aid]] of the American [[YMCA]] in [[Austro-Hungary]]. Prior to the U. S. entering the war, Hecker was transferred to [[Geneva]], to work with the World's Alliance collecting and printing Russian books for distribution to POW's in German and Austro-Hungarian prison camps. In view of the difficulties in locating such books, Hecker also wrote some books for the prisoners.<ref name="Steuer">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
By the early 1920s Hecker was living near [[Arbat Street|Arbat]], [[Moscow]] (Arbat) at 39 Starokonyoushenny with the support of Bishop [[John Louis Nuelsen]].
Here he established a correspondence school and kept in contact with the leaders of the "Living Church" movement. As he became increasingly associated with this movement within the Russian Orthodox Church, Simmons became more critical of Hecker however Bishop Nuelsen remained supportive.<ref name="Kimbrough"/>
