And, on Jan. 31, that idea became a reality as some L: 150 people from at least 10 Brethren churches in the Michigan District gathered to pray, listen to music, enjoy a meal, learn about what's going on in Nigeria, and contribute funds to help alleviate the suffering there. In advance of the big event, members of the Onekama Church and the Lakeview Church of the Brethren printed a poster that went on Facebook and was displayed around the town and county. Copies of the poster and an explanatory letter went to every Brethren person and church in Michigan, as well as other area churches. A silent auction drew items to be sold from as far as the West Coast, including a large quilt from Oregon. All of the auction items went for good sums, with people often paying more than what they bid, all in the spirit of supporting the cause. Joseph was interviewed by a local newspaper, which resulted in a front page article that generated dona­ tions even from people unable to attend the event. A second article following the event also was published. Fabrics that member Susan Barnard had collected from Africa adorned the church sanctuary and basement.

Included in this sto are ancestors of the Old German Baptist Brethren along with family progenitors of all Brethren groups. While this portion of writing deals directly with genealogical interests and pursuits of Old Order families - we will begin by offering a bit of general information. As Brethren began coming to Germantown, Pennsylvania in 1719 & 179, ever pushing westward to new frontiers, the migration never really stopped until they reached the west coast many decades later. Maryland & Virginia began to be settled before the Revolution and just prior to 1800, members were found as far west as Kentucky, Ohio and even Missouri. Through the Pittsburgh and Ohio River gateways, most of the remaining states were settled. Railroads also played a significant role in colonizing the western states. Our attention will now center around migration patterns and family names of brethren in the Old German Baptist Brotherhood. After Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska were settled, cheap land and new frontiers continued to lure the Lrethren westward as the twentieth century approached.

  • 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

  • Hoosier Brethren and the Origins of the Restoration Movement
    Hoosier Brethren and the Origins of the Restoration Movement David B. Eller* Frontier Indiana was a patchwork of competing religious views and interests. The Great Kentucky Revival at Cane Ridge in 1801 had set the dominant spiritual mood for evangel- ical Protestants, and in the years following Cane Ridge the fires of revival had swept across the Ohio Valley. In the Hoosier state, as in the rest of the Midwest, the result was a tremendous increase in adherents to such sects as the Methodists and Baptists who were ready and able to serve up religion warm, if not hot. An important part of the story of the growth of evangelical Protestantism in the Ohio Valley was the rise of the Disciples movement, popularly known as the “Restoration” because of its emphasis on restoring simple or “primitive” New Testament Christianity as the norm for faith and practice. The Disciples are usually said to have been inspired by Alexander Campbell, a Presbyterian turned Baptist reformer, and Barton W. Stone, a veteran of Cane Ridge. Working independently before 1832 and cooperatively thereafter, these two pioneer ministers led a re- form crusade which resulted in the formation of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) by about 1840. In Indiana, how- ever, Restoration activities previous to the mid-1830s were in- digenous and largely independent of Stone and Campbell.’ Although historians of the Disciples of Christ have long recognized the significant contributions of the German Baptist Brethren, or Dunkers, to Restoration reforms in southern Indi- ana, their accounts have usually been vague as to the congre- gations involved, their location, origin, and leadership.

  • West Marva District Memo September 2019
    384 Dennett Road Oakland, MD 21550 WEST MARVA DISTRICT 301-334-9270 John Ballinger, Interim Executive Minister MEMO J . Rogers Fike, Executive Minister Emeritus Brenda Harvey, Administrative Assistant SEPTEMBER 2019 www.westmarvachurches.org On the Road with DE John Ballinger: They said to each other, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:32 NLT) “So tell us about the Church of the Brethren,” the couple inquired. It was early March, and we were seated at an indoor track meet where our children were competing members of their college teams. My wife Kathy and I had struck up a conversation with the couple seated next to us, and as we became acquainted, they asked us what we did for a living. “My wife is a dental hygienist,” I said, “and I’m a district minister in the Church of the Brethren.” When they asked about our church, I thought I would try a different answer instead of mentioning Anabaptism and Pietism. Lately I had wondered if restating our Anabaptist/Pietist heritage in modern terms might prove useful in describing our Brethren identity, so I had done some reading. My studies convinced me that while the language of our heritage may no longer be understood by today’s culture, its underlying values are. The word Anabaptism (which means re-baptism, not anti-baptism!) refers to a model of faith commitment and church life that originated in Switzerland in the 1500s. The movement grew in response to the baptism of infants into church and state membership, and it was characterized by obedience to the teaching of Jesus, believer’s baptism (baptizing only those old enough to consent to and understand their commitment), and devotion to the faith community.
