Donnermeyer Emeritus Professor/Academy Professor School of Environment and Natural Resources The Ohio State University [email protected] Steven M. Nolt Professor of History and Anabaptist Studies Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies Elizabethtown College [email protected] Published March 24, 2021 https://doi.org/10.18061/jpac.v1i2.8234 ere we are! Near the end of winter and looking forward to spring. COVID-19 vaccines are H rolling out and millions have already received their vaccinations or know their turn is soon to come. This issue of JPAC includes a chronicle of COVID-19 events during 2020 and the pandemic’s impact on Amish communities, as seen through mass media coverage aggregated on Erik Wesner’s Amish America website. Woven through his account are about 90 links to news sources organized around themes such as public health outreach to Amish communities, public perceptions—pro and con—of the Amish response to the virus, COVID-19 cases among the Amish, and others. Wesner’s article is must reading for anyone interested in the impact of COVID- 19 on the Amish, on media coverage of Plain communities, and on the nuanced and diverse reactions of the Amish to the pandemic. In addition, this issue’s “Fieldwork and Reflections” section includes the observations of Victor Stoltzfus on COVID-19 and the large Elkhart- LaGrange Amish settlement in northern Indiana. (We expect to include more COVID-related articles in the next issue of JPAC, vol. 2, no. 1, Summer 2021.) Beyond the pandemic, this issue includes a number of articles that will delight aficionados of population studies and those “eggheads” among us who love statistics.

The world is still facing war and rumor of war. Though nearly forty years have passed us by, the Wagoners' report radiates a timely hope for an answer that "takes away the occasion for war." Previously, we have been able to write only in briefest summary of the Primavera decades. This report will surely warm the hearts of all who experienced that period of our history. To those with no experience of it, we hope to give a glimpse and at least some understanding of that time. The Editors January 15, 1991 Com. in Par. 15 Nov 90 4 FOREWORD This is a charming and winsome story of the six month visit of Bob and Shirley Wagoner to the three Bruderhofs in Paraguay, known collectively as Primavera ("springtime" in Spanish).

DeWeese-Boyd: The Nurturing Communities Project The Nurturing Communities Project: Fostering Persistence and Emergence in Intentional Christian Communities By Margie DeWeese-Boyd The concept, praxis, and experience of “community” in America have arguably been stretched thin so as to no longer signify anything substantial. Many, in fact, decry the demise of community even as “buy local” campaigns and the locavore food movement try to reclaim some of its lost ground. Bill McKibben, for instance, bemoans the growing dispersion and disconnection that characterizes a good deal of American life today: “We change religions, spouses, towns, professions with ease … [w]e are not just individualists; we are hyper-individualists.”1 Ours is a culture that readily severs ties, even as it suffers the ramifications of those various dislocations. This American life is a life dispersed: we work ten miles away with people who live twenty miles beyond that, buy food grown a thousand miles away from grocery clerks who live in a different subdivision, date people from the other side of town, and worship with people who live an hour’s drive from one another.… We serve soup to the poor folks on the other side of the tracks, but we don’t know the person on the other side of our fence.

  • CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION in the Period Immediately Following The
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION In the period immediately following the close of the Civil War, philanthropic endeavors were undertaken to reconstruct secessionist states, establish wide-scale peace among still- hostile factions, and develop efforts to enact social, legal, and educational support. This philanthropic era is characterized by the activities of a number of individual, denominational, organizational, including state and federal supporters that were subsequently responsible for engendering a Negro College Movement, which established institutions for providing freed slaves, and later, Negroes with advanced educational degrees. This dissertation studied: the genesis, unfolding, contributions, and demise issues in conjunction with the social, economic, and political forces that shaped one such institution in Harper’s Ferry (Jefferson County), West Virginia: Storer College, which was founded in 1865 as an outgrowth of several mission schools. By an Act of Congress, in 1868, the founders of Storer College initially were granted temporary use of four government buildings from which to create their campus.1 Over the next 90 years, until its closure in 1955, the college underwent four distinct developmental phases: (a) Mission School [Elementary], (b) Secondary Division, (c) a Secondary Expansion, and (d) Collegiate. Even today—as a result of another Act of Congress—it continues to exist, albeit in altered form: in 1960, the National Park Service branch of the United States Department of the Interior was named the legal curator of the 1 United States. Congress. Legislative, Department of War. An Act Providing for the Sale of Lands, Tenements, and Water Privileges Belonging to the United States at or Near Harpers Ferry, in the County of Jefferson, West Virginia (1868).

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.

  • Coming Alive in Christ: Training for PC(USA) Ruling Elders and Deacons Based on the Constitutional Questions
    Coming Alive in Christ: Training for PC(USA) Ruling Elders and Deacons Based on the Constitutional Questions This resource has been created for the purpose of providing teaching elders/ministers of Word and Sacrament and other congregational leaders with content to adequately train ruling elders and deacons in their ministries with God’s people. Based on the questions that each of the church leaders affirms when ordained, as found in the Constitution of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), it is hoped that those in ordered ministries study these beliefs that are central to our lives in faith and in community with each other. A note about style for the leader: With content on the major themes of each question, sections were written by a variety of ruling elders and teaching elders from across the PC(USA). While each includes their voice and perspective, it is hoped that you make each one your own. As you train the leaders of the congregation, add connections to your own congregation and community. Use the content here as a jumping off point and enhance it with your knowledge of those with whom you serve. A Monthly Leader Guide is available and includes a design to be used at the beginning of meetings of the session and/or board of deacons. Use these as a way of presenting the content provided for each question and studying together the questions affirmed in ordination. A Retreat Leader Guide is also available in a three-lesson format to be used in training ruling elders and deacons prior to service in a retreat setting.

  • 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
