    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.

  • 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

  • Reviews of History Werner O. Packull, Peter Riedemann
    Book Reviews 261 Reviews of History Werner O. Packull, Peter Riedemann: Shaper of the Hutterite Tradition. Kitchener, ON: Pandora Press, 2007. Pp. 251. $41.47. Werner Packull adds to the knowledge of early Hutterite history with this very fine, detailed study of the life and contributions of Peter Riedemann. Packull’s earlier book, Hutterite Beginnings, Communitar- ian Experiments during the Reformation (1995), which was translated into German by Astrid von Schlachta (1996), provides the background to this study. Packull’s book was preceded by the large and detailed recent study of Riedemann by the German scholar Andrea Chudaska. Her book is also entitled Peter Riedemann (2003). Thus, within the space of a few years, two excellent studies have been published about this important sixteenth century Anabaptist reformer. Both Packull and Chudaska interpret Riedemann from the perspective of theological and social history, or as Chudaska says, “geistes- und sozialgeschichtliche Aspekte” (42). Packull organizes Riedemann’s story chronologically. He notes that the first reference to Riedemann is in the Hutterite Chronicle, which records that in 1529 he was imprisoned in Gmunden, Austria. Although a native of Silesia, very little is known about Riedemann’s early life. Sources are silent about who influenced him to become an Anabaptist, where he joined the movement, or when. After Riedemann was freed from his imprisonment in Gmunden, he made his way to Moravia, and lived with communalists for the rest of his life. Of the various commu- nalist groups in the area, he threw in his lot with the Hutterites as the ones who, he felt, most faithfully followed the teachings of scripture.

I am thankful for my Dad who is a gentle, supportive, strong force of good in this world. I am thankful for the evenings before bed when he’d tell stories about The Wizard of Oz. It included, among other things, being scooped up and whirled around in a “tornado.” I realize now that Dad told me stories so that someday, I’d tell my own. I am thankful for my chosen sisters who believed in me when I couldn’t believe in myself. Stephanie Owen-Aiken, Maggie Borders, Jessy Changstrom, and Rachel Donegan – four names that mean home to me. I am thankful to my advisor Dr. Julie Myatt, who gave me her time and guidance and care throughout this process. I am thankful to my committee members, Jordynn and Kate. I am thankful to Rhonda McDaniel whose warmth and intellect are unmatched. I am thankful for Jeremy. You cannot find people like Jeremy. They simply find you and bless you forever.
