  • Methodist-History-2018-10-Omalley.Pdf (366.0Kb)
    Methodist History, 57:1 & 2 (October 2018 & January 2019) MERGING THE STREAMS: PIETISM AND TRANSATLANTIC REVIVAL IN THE COLONIAL ERA AND THE BIrtH OF THE EVANGELICAL ASSOCIATION AND THE UNITED BRETHREN IN CHRIST J. Steven O’Malley The title of this paper was inspired by a discussion I opened in A Companion to German Pietism, 1660–1800 (Brill Academic, 2014).1 It was a chapter on the early theological roots of German American revivalism during the colonial era. These roots also represent the foundation for the Evangelical United Brethren (EUB) tradition. Speaking personally, I was among the last to be ordained into its ministry, the year before its history ended in 1968 and completed my doctoral studies at Drew on the theology of the Otterbeins in that same decade. Much of my reading and research over the next fifty years has been focused on exploring the roots of a denom- ination which disappeared under my feet, shortly after my ordination into it. The continued influence in The United Methodist Church (UMC) is here affirmed, and it is my aim in acquainting you with some of its important root- age from these earlier centuries, where it got its steam to make a 201 year run on the track of history, up to the union year of 1968. It became apparent that such a prologue needs to return to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in Europe to discover the roots of this community of faith which, when it be- gan to organize in North America, was known in some quarters as the earliest indigenous denomination of European rootage formed in American history.

  • The First Annual Conference of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, September 25,...26, 1800
    Methodist History, 39:4 (July 2001) UNSECTARIAN PREACHERS AND UNCERTAIN BEGINNINGS: THE FIRST ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE CHURCH OF THE UNITED BRETHREN IN CHRIST, SEPTEMBER 25,...26, 1800 K. JAMES STEIN Phillip William Otterbein . first met Martin Boehm at the grosse Versa11unlung (great meeting) held at Isaac Long's barn, six miles northeast of Lancaster, Pennsylvania on PentecostSunday, probably in thy year 1767. ·- .'I Otterbein, a pastor in the German Reformed Church, was about forty-one years old at the time. He had been serving congregations in the American colonies for some fifteen years. Both from the Reformed parsonage in Germany, which sent him and his five brothers into the ordained ministry, and his studies at the Herborn Academy in his native N as·sau, Otterbein had drunk deeply of the moderate Calvinism expressed by his church's Heidelberg Catechism. He was also much influenced by the vital Pietism taught by the Herborn faculty under whom he had studied. Beyond that, dur­ ing his first pastorate in America, he had experienced a definite personal assurance of God's salvation in Christ. Martin Boehm was only a year older than Otterbein. Born in Pennsyl­ vania of Swiss-German Mennonite parents, Boehm :married in 1753 and began farming. Five years later he was chosen by lot to become the minis­ ter of his local Mennonite congregation. His feeling of unworthiness for this task was confirmed by his halting and inept preaching. It was only an expe­ rience of conversion and divine assurance that changed Boehm's ministry into a vital one. Now he looked forward to Sunday (which he had once dreaded).

  • The Church of the United Brethren in Christ: a Reluctant Denomination
    Methodist History, 39:4 (July 2001) THE CHURCH OF THE UNITED BRETHREN IN CHRIST: A RELUCTANT DENOMINATION K. JAMES STEIN There may be certain advantages at a specialized conference to one's presenting the last paper on the last morning, but I cannot think of any. Some of the conference participants by that time have already left. All whose bod­ ies are still present in the room have their minds already 100 miles down the road. The previous speakers have either touched upon or virtually utilized key points to be made in the address. The lecturer could in some despair feel it the better part of wisdom to say to the decimated audience like many a traveler returning fro1n abroad has confessed to U.S. customs officials, "I have nothing to declare." Seriously, however, I am delighted to be asked to speak at this significant event and gladly accept the challenge of presenting the final lecture. Yesterday at Long's Barn we United Methodists trod upon some of our sacred soil. Otterbein's "Wir sind Bruder" utterance as he embraced Martin Boehm in a haymow full of worshippers at the "Grosse Versammlung" (the Great Meeting) that Pentecost Sunday probably in 1767, was a pivotal state­ ment. It evangelically affirmed the Gospel and it ecumenically offered rec­ onciliation across denominational barriers. No wonder some in the congre-..., gation praised God aloud and the greater part "were bathed in tears." 1 Still, despite this ringing unitive affirmation, nothing seems to have resulted immediately. We might well imagine that Otterbein and Boehm would have pulled out their date books and have scheduled a joint strategy session.

  • The United Methodist Church at 50: a Quick Refresher
    The United Methodist Church at 50: A Quick Refresher Who and What Puts the “United” in our Name: The Evangelical United Brethren Church came from two streams of German pietism touched by Wesleyan spirituality as experienced in American Methodism. Evangelical Association / Church Jacob Albright, from Pennsylvania, was raised in a German Lutheran home. As a young adult Albright experienced conversion under Philip William Otterbein and joined a Methodist class. Albright began traveling through the central Pennsylvania area preaching and around 1803 / 1807 formed the “Newly-formed Methodist Conference” for German-speaking groups. In 1807, Albright was elected bishop of this group and translated most of the Methodist Discipline into German. Following Albright’s death in 1808, George Miller published a complete Discipline for the new group and in 1816 the movement took the name Evangelical Association. The church spread westward across Pennsylvania and into the Ohio Valley. The denomination became involved in missions in Japan and China. There was a split in the denomination between 1894 and 1922. The Church of the United Brethren in Christ Philip William Otterbein was clergy at a Reformed Church in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He was a pietist as well. Under his leadership the region had a spiritual awakening. Around 1767, he heard Martin Boehm preaching at Long’s Barn in Lancaster County. Boehm was a German Mennonite who had also been touched by the Pietist tradition. Otterbein, upon hearing Boehm preaching, realized that they were kindred spirits (even though back in Germany they would have been hesitant to be known as such). Otterbein rushed forward at the end of the sermon and embraced Boehm with the exclamation, “We are brothers!” This response would be woven into the character of the denomination over time; one which expressed a strong relational aspect to the Christian faith.

  • The 1868 Manheim Camp Meeting of the National Holiness Association by William Kostlevy, 1997
    Christian Perfectionism in Pennsylvania Dutch Country: The 1868 Manheim Camp Meeting of the National Holiness Association by William Kostlevy, 1997 [Editor's note: William Kostlevy is the archivist for Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky. He was the Fall 1997 Fellow at the Elizabethtown College Young Center for the Study of Anabaptist and Pietist Groups. The following material was taken from a larger paper presented by the author at the Young Center on November 13, 1997. We wish to thank the author and the Young Center of Elizabethtown College for allowing THE CHRONICLE to print the results of Professor Kostlevy's research in this form.] Introduction One of the most significant inter-denominational religious phenomena of the late nineteenth century, the Holiness Movement was committed to the propagation of a second religious experience following conversion variously called Christian perfection, entire sanctification, full salvation, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, heart purity, or the second blessing. Although historically rooted in eighteenth century Methodism, especially in the writings of John Wesley and John Fletcher, perfectionist elements in the Wesleyan revival found fertile soil among both plain and Lutheran/Reformed Pennsylvania German evangelicals. 1 Former Mennonites Martin Boehm and Christian Newcomer, founders (along with Reformed pastor Philip William Otterbein) of the United Brethren in Christ Church, joined Methodism's circuit-riding bishop Francis Asbury and former Lutheran Jacob Albright, founder of the Evangelical Association, as leaders in the spiritual awakening that swept the Pennsylvania Dutch country in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Both United Brethren and Evangelical Association members actively sought the experience of entire sanctification, or full salvation.

When he finished speaking, a German Reformed pastor named Philip William Otterbein (1726-1813) stood up, embraced him, and exclaimed, “Wir sind Brüder!” meaning “We are brethren”, a phrase which contributed to the name of the new Christian denomination started by those gathered in the barn in 1767. By 1800, the United Brethren had spread to Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and Ohio, drawing from the German Reformed groups already established, and there was a need for organization and common standards among new churches. The denomination officially organized in 1800, adopting the name Church of the United Brethren in Christ (hereafter, United Brethren).
