    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

On Friday, April 27, the former religious community of celibate brothers and sisters, founded in 1732 by German immigrant Conrad Beissel, comes to life again. With the help of volunteer historical interpreters and staff of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, who own and operate the site, and the Ephrata Cloister Associates, who provide support, children can learn not only about daily life in Colonial America, but also about some of the people they might have met at the Ephrata Cloister. “Education was always an important part of life at Ephrata Cloister. Brother Obed opened a school for the local children in the 1740s,” said Elizabeth Bertheaud, Historic Site Administrator. “The Community Days program is a great representation of this continuing tradition and today helps us teach students about their heritage while having fun.” The Community Days program, which will be held on Friday, April 27 and Friday, May 18, from 9:30 a.m.

Clay Carey June 2012 © 2012 M. Clay Carey. All Rights Reserved. This thesis titled A Plain Circle: Imagining Amish and Mennonite Community Through the National Edition of The Budget by M. CLAY CAREY has been approved for the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Bill Reader Associate Professor of Journalism Scott Titsworth Interim Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT CAREY, M. CLAY, M.S., June 2012, Journalism A Plain Circle: Imagining Amish and Mennonite Community Through the National Edition of The Budget) Director of Thesis: Bill Reader This thesis describes the ways in which one community newspaper attempts to connect a broad, diverse population bound by a common ideal, in this case religious faith. The subject of the research is the national edition of The Budget , a weekly newspaper mailed to Amish and Mennonite readers all over the world. Writers for the national edition are largely free to write about whatever they like. They pass along local information about the weather, church visits, people who have fallen ill, marriages, and other aspects of community life. This qualitative study of The Budget explores the portrayals of Anabaptist life in those dispatches and how those portrayals unite readers. Using textual analysis, it explores common themes, ideals, and values expressed in letters, and how those expressions help create an “imagined community” among Budget readers.
