  • 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 Witness of Unity • Matthew 16:13-18 - Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" 14 And they said, "Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets." 15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" 16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 17 And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. I will build My church • John 17:20 - 21 - "I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; 21 that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me." • Ephesians 4:4 -6 - 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. NASU • Ephesians 1:22-23 - 22 And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

BROWN Associate Professor of German and Linguistics Department of Languages University of Wisconsin—Eau Claire Abstract: The study of Beachy Amish-Mennonite identities is a complex endeavor. As a loosely- organized fellowship, the Beachys have no overarching governing body that dictates symbols of their Anabaptist commitment to nonconformity. Often Beachys are described as existing on a religious continuum between the Old Order Amish and Mennonites, yet defining Beachys as what they are not does not adequately establish the religious identities that Beachys negotiate for themselves. This article addresses the negotiation of sociolinguistic identities—where language and religious identities intersect—alongside cultural change for two Beachy congregations in Central Pennsylvania.

  • Memories of Palestine

The individual contributions should convey to what extent Templers are in touch with their origins and their traditions. This is how the story came to be told: Palestine, home to several generations of Templers, had been lost. What with internment and deportation, the point of no return had truly been passed for many hundreds of people. The new beginning in unfamiliar Australia was not easy. But they made it; they found their way back from dispersal to rejoin each other. After all the terrible times, fathers and mothers in reunited families told their children about Palestine, about the land whence they had come and which they could not forget. This book is more about oral history than reference. You will ‘hear’ the people talk; you will listen to their anecdotes, take part in their highs and lows, their triumphs and their tragedies, and perhaps look deeply into their souls.

It argues that the separatist heritage of Plain Anabaptism exemplified by PVC represents a viable missionary ecclesiology for an increasingly postmodern context. Most Plain Anabaptist groups have seen considerable growth in recent years, due partly to procreation rates and retention of youth.

Name of Claus’s Widow”? 37 Bibliography 39 1 Evidence is presented here that a Niclaus Oppliger from Bern Canton, Switzerland, was the Claus “Oblinger” who emigrated with his family to Pennsylvania in the late 1720s, thus solving a nearly two-century enigma as to the place of his European origin. BACKGROUND John D. Watkins was the first family historian to collect information and write specifically about Claus Oblinger and his family. His work was done mostly in the 1930s 1 and 40s.0F The most complete and accurate history of the Oblinger-Oplinger-Uplinger 2 family was written in 1964 by Wm. H. Rinkenbach. 1F Many people having those surnames trace their lineage back to one person, a Claus Oblinger, who came to America in the 1720s. Rinkenbach collected his information through genealogical research as well as by attending family reunions during the 1940s and 50s. His focus, however, was not on Claus himself, but rather on document-ing and recording the family trees of Claus’ descendants up until the mid-twentieth century.

  • What Are the Plain Anabaptists? -- Anderson
    Who Are the Plain Anabaptists? What Are the Plain Anabaptists? -- Anderson Who Are the Plain Anabaptists? What Are the Plain Anabaptists? Cory Anderson1 OSU Presidential Fellow and Doctoral Candidate in Rural Sociology School of Environment and Natural Resources The Ohio State University Abstract: I define the plain Anabaptists by answering two essential questions: “Who are the plain Anabaptists” and “What are the plain Anabaptists?” In asking “Who are the plain Anabaptists?” I investigate several dimensions of identity. First, I trace the history of seven religious traditions within Anabaptism: the Swiss Brethren/Mennonites, the Low German/Russian Mennonites, the Hutterites, the Amish, the Brethren, the Apostolic Christian Churches, and the Bruderhof. Second, I explore three categories of people in each group—mainline, conservative, and Old Order—describing the last two as “plain.” Third, I explore scales and indices on which plainness is measured, as well as other measures of who the plain Anabaptist people are. In asking “What are the plain Anabaptists?” I define several ways social scientists conceptualize and describe the plain Anabaptists. I organize the sundry definitions and frames under three categories: the plain Anabaptists as a religious group, as an ethnicity, and as a social system. Keywords: Mennonite, Amish, Brethren, Hutterite, Apostolic Christian, Bruderhof, religious traditions, ethnicity, social system 26 | Page Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies, Volume 1, Issue 1 (April), 2013 Introduction The inauguration
