    Editors’ Introduction Volume 1, Issue 2 Joseph F. Donnermeyer Emeritus Professor/Academy Professor School of Environment and Natural Resources The Ohio State University [email protected] Steven M. Nolt Professor of History and Anabaptist Studies Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies Elizabethtown College [email protected] Published March 24, 2021 https://doi.org/10.18061/jpac.v1i2.8234 ere we are! Near the end of winter and looking forward to spring. COVID-19 vaccines are H rolling out and millions have already received their vaccinations or know their turn is soon to come. This issue of JPAC includes a chronicle of COVID-19 events during 2020 and the pandemic’s impact on Amish communities, as seen through mass media coverage aggregated on Erik Wesner’s Amish America website. Woven through his account are about 90 links to news sources organized around themes such as public health outreach to Amish communities, public perceptions—pro and con—of the Amish response to the virus, COVID-19 cases among the Amish, and others. Wesner’s article is must reading for anyone interested in the impact of COVID- 19 on the Amish, on media coverage of Plain communities, and on the nuanced and diverse reactions of the Amish to the pandemic. In addition, this issue’s “Fieldwork and Reflections” section includes the observations of Victor Stoltzfus on COVID-19 and the large Elkhart- LaGrange Amish settlement in northern Indiana. (We expect to include more COVID-related articles in the next issue of JPAC, vol. 2, no. 1, Summer 2021.) Beyond the pandemic, this issue includes a number of articles that will delight aficionados of population studies and those “eggheads” among us who love statistics.

The world is still facing war and rumor of war. Though nearly forty years have passed us by, the Wagoners' report radiates a timely hope for an answer that "takes away the occasion for war." Previously, we have been able to write only in briefest summary of the Primavera decades. This report will surely warm the hearts of all who experienced that period of our history. To those with no experience of it, we hope to give a glimpse and at least some understanding of that time. The Editors January 15, 1991 Com. in Par. 15 Nov 90 4 FOREWORD This is a charming and winsome story of the six month visit of Bob and Shirley Wagoner to the three Bruderhofs in Paraguay, known collectively as Primavera ("springtime" in Spanish).

The Amish, one of the few surviving folk cultures in the United States, still sing the hymns in the original German. Their ancestors penned the words to these hymns nearly five hundred years ago on another continent. Ironically, the Amish arose in opposition to the Latin Christian Church (later known as the Roman Catholic Church), yet could be considered to be nearly their equal in their tradition.

  • Cathedrals, Churches, Caves Notes on Architecture, History, and Worship
    CHAPTER 1 Cathedrals, Churches, Caves Notes on Architecture, History, and Worship he layers of history, the ways the past persists, are easier to see Tin the Old World, where the irony of ancient towers juxtaposed against tattoo parlors and multinational fast-food outlets is inescapable. The smooth and rough children of western Europe at the millennium, in their black designer dresses or their spiked hair and pierced eyebrows, do not spend nights arguing infant baptism, the uses of the sword, or the perils and advantages of a state church, as my ancestors did during the Anabaptist Reformation of 1525. If today’s citizens were to meet to study the New Testament and reach conclusions about its meaning contrary to those of the state church, the worst they would suffer is ridicule. When my wife Marlyce and I crossed ancient European borders no one asked about our passports, let alone our religion; as long as our cash and credit cards held out, we were free as any bird. So we went our quiet way across Holland and France and Switzerland and Ger- many, sometimes simple travelers enjoying the food and the sights, sometimes pilgrims in pursuit of the strange, small traces of our past. We call ourselves Mennonites now, but our people have claimed and been given many names in the last five centuries, as they wandered over Europe and then to many parts of the world in search of places where they might work out their particular, pecu- liar version of the gospel. 5 6 Scattering Point We were in Europe for three weeks, hardly time to discover anything.

  • “State of the Church” Frequently Asked Questions
    “State of the Church” Frequently Asked Questions From October 2020 to February 2021, the Annual Conference Moderator hosted the “Moderator’s District Q+A” sessions in partnership with the Annual Conference Moderator-Elect and Secretary; Twenty-four ZOOM sessions were held in 14 districts across the denomination. The focus of the sessions was the “state of the church.” The Q+As were open to all, both clergy and laity; districts were encouraged to publicize them widely. The questions that follow arose from those sessions; they are not exhaustive of every question on the hearts and minds of our constituency. Rather, they are representative of inquiries posed by both clergy and laity in a variety of districts. The responses to each question, also are not exhaustive; additional detail, however, is found in the endnotes. Additional questions are welcome. Abortion • What is the Church of the Brethren position on abortion? In sum: “The Church of the Brethren opposes abortion because the rejection of unborn children violates the love by which God creates and nurtures human life. “We recognize that our society contributes to unwanted pregnancies in many ways and gives too little care to those who must bear the consequences. “We recognize also our responsibility to work for a caring society that undergirds women who choose to carry pregnancies to full term, a caring society that [also] protects integrity of conscience in decision-making in relation to pregnancy and childbearing while also acting to protect the unborn. “We hold ourselves accountable to develop constructive, creative alternatives to abortion in the communities of which we are a part.

DeWeese-Boyd: The Nurturing Communities Project The Nurturing Communities Project: Fostering Persistence and Emergence in Intentional Christian Communities By Margie DeWeese-Boyd The concept, praxis, and experience of “community” in America have arguably been stretched thin so as to no longer signify anything substantial. Many, in fact, decry the demise of community even as “buy local” campaigns and the locavore food movement try to reclaim some of its lost ground. Bill McKibben, for instance, bemoans the growing dispersion and disconnection that characterizes a good deal of American life today: “We change religions, spouses, towns, professions with ease … [w]e are not just individualists; we are hyper-individualists.”1 Ours is a culture that readily severs ties, even as it suffers the ramifications of those various dislocations. This American life is a life dispersed: we work ten miles away with people who live twenty miles beyond that, buy food grown a thousand miles away from grocery clerks who live in a different subdivision, date people from the other side of town, and worship with people who live an hour’s drive from one another.… We serve soup to the poor folks on the other side of the tracks, but we don’t know the person on the other side of our fence.

Eerst volgt de lijst die ontleent is aan Van Braght zijn boeken, daarna de naamlijst die samengesteld is door C. Kraybill. Kraybill schrijft: Het totale aantal Doopsgezinde martelaren is onbekend. Het bijhouden van gegevens in de verschillende regio's van het Europa van de 16e eeuw was inconsistent. In sommige gebieden werden verslagen bijgehouden maar gingen later verloren of vernietigd. In andere gebieden werden er in de eerste plaats geen records bijgehouden. Er zijn ook plaatsen waar we alleen nummers of namen van martelaren hebben zonder verdere details. De meest uitgebreide martelaarsinformatie die vandaag beschikbaar is, komt uit Vlaanderen en Nederland. Dit betekent niet dat meer mensen op die plaatsen werden gemarteld dan elders.

  • Radical Identities in the Reformation Era Dr Kat Hill, University of East Anglia
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Birkbeck Institutional Research Online The Power of Names: Radical Identities in the Reformation Era Dr Kat Hill, University of East Anglia In the summer of 1543 an Anabaptist was arrested and questioned by the authorities in Beyernaumburg, a village nestled in the southern Harz region on the border between Saxon-Anhalt and Thuringia. He was the ‘Anabaptist with no name’, for despite the insistence by the three pastors who questioned him to say who he was, he would not do so. He said ‘He has no name, for God, his father, also has no name.’1 This Clint Eastwood of the Anabaptist world perturbed the questioners, for as well as just being stubbornly obstructive, his reasons for refusing to give his name undercut the assumptions about kinship and belonging which held together early modern communities. The man not only declined to give his name, but also said he had no profession aside from a calling from God, he would not say where he was from because he rejected the whoredom of his mother, and he declared that baptism, communion, and absolution were all meaningless garbage. The Devil, not God, had created flesh, so all such earthly ties were redundant. In the ultimate act of negation, he said he ‘cursed the hour when he was born’, attempting to denigrate his own existence. With one simple gesture, his obstinate anonymity undermined some of the most basic ideas about identity and family. Not only was it hard to identify and track down a man who would not give his name, but he was a nameless menace for other reasons.

Gross, Doctor of Philosophy, 1994 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Howard Serwer, Professor of Music, Musicology Department, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland As part of an effort to maintain their German culture, the late eighteenth-century Mennonites of Eastern Pennsylvania instituted hymn-singing instruction in the elementary community schoolhouse curriculum. Beginning in 1780 (or perhaps earlier), much of the hymn-tune repertoire, previously an oral tradition, was recorded in musical notation in manuscript songbooks (Notenbüchlein) compiled by local schoolmasters in Mennonite communities north of Philadelphia. The practice of giving manuscript songbooks to diligent singing students continued until 1835 or later. These manuscript songbooks are the only extant clue to the hymn repertoire and performance practice of these Mennonite communities at the turn of the nineteenth century. By identifying the tunes that recur most frequently, one can determine the core repertoire of the Franconia Mennonites at this time, a repertoire that, on balance, is strongly pietistic in nature. Musically, the Notenbüchlein document the shift that occured when these Mennonite communities incorporated written transmission into their oral tradition.
