  • Theoretical Implications of the Beachy Amish-Mennonites DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Th
    Theoretical Implications of the Beachy Amish-Mennonites DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Cory Alexander Anderson Graduate Program in Rural Sociology The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Joseph Donnermeyer, Advisor Richard Moore Edward Crenshaw Copyrighted by Cory Alexander Anderson 2014 Abstract One of the hallmarks of social science is the interaction of theory and methods/data, the former guiding the latter and the latter refining the former, in a cyclical relationship. The goal of theory is to provide explanations for and even predict a range of human behaviors. One potential cause of theoretical stagnation is an over focus on a singular, usually easily accessible group. Given the persistence of plain Anabaptists like the Amish as a highly distinct subgroup in American society, their utility for refining sociological theories is persuasive, but has rarely been employed to this end because of their social inaccessibility, shyness towards social science research, and the popular interpretive frames placed on them that distract would-be investigators. Even with Amish-focused scholarship, the emphasis has been largely on describing the population or applying theory to understand the Amish case, but not returning findings back to theory in critique and revision. This dissertation introduces and contextualizes the plain Anabaptists, then describes the Beachy Amish-Mennonites, a group within the Amish religious tension, but dealing markedly with tensions between separatism and assimilation. Following this introduction are three independent studies that demonstrate the use of plain Anabaptists to refine theory.

  • The General Conference Mennonites. PUB DATE Apr 87 NOTE 12P
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 280 780 SO 018 047 AUTHOR Ediger, Marlow TITLE The General Conference Mennonites. PUB DATE Apr 87 NOTE 12p. PUB TYPE Reports - Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Cultural Differences; Dress Codes; *Educational Attitudes; *Family Life; *Lifestyle; *Religious Differences; Rural Farm Residents IDENTIFIERS *General Conference Mennonite; *Old Order Amish ABSTRACT General Conference Mennonites and Old Order Amish are compared and contrasted in the areas of physical appearance, religious beliefs, formal education, methods of farming, and home settings. General Conference Mennonites and Amish differ in physical appearance and especially in dress. The General Conference Mennonite men and women dress the same as others in society and follow no rules for shaving or hair length. Amish men wear plain colored clothes, and if married wear beards but no moustaches. Amish women wear ankle length plain dresses and do not cut their hair. General Conference Mennonites and Amish also differ in religious customs. General Conference Mennonites have more contemporary religious customs, while Amish retain their traditional services. Both groups, however, avoid lodge membership, drinking, gambling, cursing, saying or signing "I solemnly swear," military service, divorce, adultery, and premarital sex. The educational priorities of the Amish and General Conference Mennonites differ as well. General Conference Mennonites emphasize higher education and attend public schools, while Amish attend parochial schools only until the eighth grade. Both General Conference Mennonites and Amish live in rural settings, although many young General Conference Mennonites are leaving the farm equipment and automated farm processes while Amish farmers use horse drawn machinery and diesel thrashing machines.

  • Self-Actualization: Transcendentalist Discourse in the Work of Stuart Saunders Smith
    SELF-ACTUALIZATION: TRANSCENDENTALIST DISCOURSE IN THE WORK OF STUART SAUNDERS SMITH José Augusto Duarte Lacerda A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS December 2015 Committee: Roger Schupp, Advisor Timothy Messer-Kruse Graduate Faculty Representative Marilyn Shrude Robert Wallace Thomas Rosenkranz © 2015 José Augusto Duarte Lacerda All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Roger Schupp, Advisor Born and raised in Maine, composer Stuart Saunders Smith (1948) grew up immersed in a milieu that still echoed the influence of the nineteenth-century literary movement known as Transcendentalism. The work of key Transcendentalist figures, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, show the movement’s emphasis on autonomy, intuition, pacifism, and social justice. But Transcendentalism also maintains a spiritual focus: a claim that each person is part of a single universal spirit—“Oneness.” However, this “Oneness” does not equate to homogeneity of ideas and individual voices. Rather, each person’s divine worth grants them autonomy of thought and agency. Both the social and spiritual ideas of Transcendentalism have informed Smith’s music, his writings on music compositional process, and his personal life. Amongst the Transcendentalist notions displayed in Smith’s music, pacifism and anti- technologism appear in his use of intricate rhythms. A Thoreauvian anti-materialism can be found in Smith’s limited use of instrumentation and in his concept of “percussion ecology.” Moreover, the Transcendentalist non-teleological stance is reflected in Smith’s tendency to write evening-length pieces that disregard form, his recurring references to New England imagery, and his use of non-sequiturs.

  • Symposium Review of Unser Leit: the Story of the Amish by Leroy Beachy
    Symposium Review of Unser Leit: The Story of the Amish by Leroy Beachy Editor’s Introduction Absolutely nothing about Amish history can be compared to the mammoth two volume set Leroy Beachy has compiled. Beautifully cased, these two sets feel like a treasure in your hands. But the contents are the real value. A lifelong project, this book is readable and beautifully illustrated. I have been surprised to hear from the historically un-inclined among the Amish and Amish-Mennonites how this volume drew them in and kept their attention. What Leroy Beachy has done is set Amish history in a narrative style that is culturally informed in nuanced ways too numerous to list. For one, the history reads like a story, which is exactly the way Amish often frame ideas, whether in sermons, periodical articles, or even gossip. At another level, Amish conceive of their history as not just who did what, but in terms of lineage. As Werner Enninger (1986) has stated, with such a lapse in time since the Amish and Anabaptist movements began, “...the procreational chain has assumed the status of the predominant category in which historical continuity is perceived” (127). Fittingly, the second volume contains pages upon pages of genealogy at the time of the Atlantic crossing. As a final example, also based on Enninger’s research, Amish texts that are expressive texts do not revel in the emotions of autonomous individuals, but find voice in intersubjectivity and shared convictions and beliefs. Unser Leit is an expressive, emotional text, one that rallies readers around shared empathies and cementing conviction in Amish readers for the veracity of where they have come from and what they are upholding today.

  • This Is Not God's World by John W
    This Is Not God's World by John W. Ritenbaugh (https://www.cgg.org) This Is Not God's World by John W. Ritenbaugh Forerunner, "Personal," August 1994 Having been born and reared in Pennsylvania, I have more than a passing knowledge of the Amish country of southeastern Pennsylvania. People similar to the Pennsylvania Amish live in communities in other states too like the Amish of Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia and Kansas. The Amana people of Iowa are also religiously related. In addition, the Mennonites, the original Anabaptist group and somewhat more liberal than the Amish, have communities scattered across the nation and around the world. These people are well known for pursuing quaint and seemingly severe lifestyles; wearing dark, antiquated garb; running beautiful farms; avoiding electricity, tractors and automobiles; and producing quality goods. But why do they live as they do—within, yet isolated from, the larger community surrounding them? The answer largely stems from a sincere effort to keep themselves from being spiritually contaminated by the world in obedience to I John 2:15-17. John is not the only apostle who called upon the children of God to do this. James urges us "to keep oneself unspotted from the world" (James 1:27). The apostle Paul makes a strong appeal in Romans 12:2, saying, "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Though we do not agree with the Amish method, we must stand in admiration of their strong and enduring practice to combat a very appealing but deceptive roadblock to growth.

Keane: Radicals in the Revolution: The Persecution of Christians During RADICALS IN THE REVOLUATION: THE PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR By Kevan D. Keane This paper explores the plight of radical Christians in Pennsylvania during the American Revolution.
