  • CHURCH MEMBER PROFILE 2006 (CMP2006) Overview in 2006, The
    CHURCH MEMBER PROFILE 2006 (CMP2006) Overview In 2006, the Young Center of Elizabethtown College conducted a national survey of 7,000 mem- bers in Mennonite Church USA, the Brethren in Christ, and the Church of the Brethren. Two previous studies of Mennonites tracked attitudes and practices of members. Church Member Pro- file I (CMP I) surveyed 3,500 members in 1972. The findings, used by many church-wide agen- cies, were published in Anabaptists: Four Centuries Later. A second church member profile (CMP II) surveyed 3,000 members in 1989. The results were published in The Mennonite Mo- saic. A similar survey of Church of the Brethren members, the Brethren Profile Study, was con- ducted by Carl Bowman in 1985. The findings of that study were used by various Brethren agen- cies and published by Brethren Press in A Profile of the Church of the Brethren. They were also referenced in Bowman’s Brethren Society, published by the Johns Hopkins University Press. The Research Team The research team included Donald B. Kraybill (senior fellow at the Young Center), senior pro- ject director, Conrad Kanagy (associate professor of sociology at Elizabethtown College), Men- nonite project director, and Carl D. Bowman (professor of sociology at Bridgewater College), Brethren project director. Methods A sample of 7,000 members from some 250 congregations were selected through scientific sam- pling methods sensitive to congregational size, in order to assure a representative national prob- ability sample of members 18 years of age or older living in the United States. The instrument was 20-page, self-administered mail questionnaire that included: 1) common items asked of all participants, 2) items from the 1972, 1985, and 1989 surveys, 3) denomination-specific items, and 4) national benchmark items.

    OTELIA'S HOOPS: GETTYSBURG DUNKERS AND THE CIVIL WAR Stephen Longenecker Bridgewater College i: FIGURE Mary, Otelia, and Anna Sherfy (1-r); Adams County Historical Society, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. telia Sherry and her sisters,Mary, and Anna, lived on a peach farm one mile south of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. In 1863 they were 18, 16, and 13 years old, respectively. They were Dunkers. Or, more accurately, they were the chil dren of Dunkers. Otelia, Mary, and Anna were too young to join a faith community that practiced adult baptism, as were their brothers Raphael, John, and Ernest (photographs not extant).

On July 2, 1863, a battle destroyed their home and severely damaged their peach orchard. The Civil War s fury, literally on the doorsteps of the Sherrys, impacted their religious life but less dramatically than popular and scholarly thought often suggests. James McPherson andWilliam Cooper, for example, portray the war as momentous event the "most in American history" that created "fundamental changes that transformed the country." They cite the end of slavery, the perma nence of the Union, and three Constitutional Amendments?the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth?as core shifts inAmerican society brought by thewar.
