Extractions: Origins of the Church of the Brethren and Other Brethren Groups by Lois C. Byrem, Strasburg, Pennsylvania Groups which stem from the Schwarzenau Brethren, 1708 Many religious groups have the term "brethren" as part of their names. Most are not related to the events that took place in Schwarzenau (present day Germany), in 1708, and to the group called "the Schwarzenau Brethren." According to The Brethren Encyclopedia, there have been more than 35 groups which are identified as having evolved from the Schwarzenau Brethren. It is important to note that those that are listed below, all consider themselves to be the true heirs of the Schwarzenau Brethren. The Church of the Brethren (earlier called Fraternity of German Baptists, until 1907 they were known as the German Baptist Brethren). Membership about 155,000. Beginning in Pennsylvania in 1723. Considered "conservative" in the 1880s. It has a seminary and six colleges. Headquarters - Elgin, Illinois. Ephrata Community (German Seventh Day Baptists). Led by Conrad Beissel, it resulted in the first schism among the Brethren in 1728. In 1732, Beissel led his followers to the place where the Ephrata Cloister now stands. Membership about 100.

Links About the Church of the Brethren The Church of the Brethren traces its beginning in 1708 to a small group of German Christians who sensed God calling in a deeper manner than they experienced in the churches of the time. After years of studying the scriptures, and meeting in houses to pray and seek God's will for their lives, eight men and women became convinced that God was calling them to be baptized as adult believers into a life of discipleshipfollowing in Jesus' wayrecognizing that this step of baptism would be contrary to the rules of the governing authorities of their time and place. Under the leadership of Alexander Mack, these eight embarked on a journey of faith that we trace to our congregation today.

Alexander Mack of Schriesheim would seek refuge from religious persecution in the district of Wittgenstein near the village of Schwarzenau and organize a new religious group in 1708, founded on the principles of Pietism and Anabaptism . Over the centuries, this original group would eventually separate into five different Brethren Groups . Here are some of the historical developments that contributed to this originating call to the Brethren. Reformation Awakens a Sleeping Church Reformation Awakens a Sleeping Church hrist stated that the "gates of hell" would not prevail against His church. So very true has history validated this statement. The monolithic Roman Empire which attempted to stamp out the Gospel of Jesus gradually receded into the two rising arms of the Christian Church: Latin in the West and Greek in the East. The dominance of the Church at Rome suppressed literacy and free expression for a thousand years, but the culture of the Eastern Orthodox flourished. Most of what we know of the ancient world is derived from Eastern manuscripts. The

http://www.brethren.org/genbd/bhla/GuideResearchBrethrenHistory.html

Extractions: Introduction Many religious groups have found the biblical designation "brethren" to be so appropriate that they have incorporated it into their denominational designations. Thus, there are Plymouth Brethren, Evangelical United Brethren, Moravian Brethren, River Brethren or Brethren in Christ, and many more. This has made for some serious confusion, however, for there are broad differences in religious belief and practice among those bodies sharing the name "brethren." Quite distinct from these is the denomination here described. The Church of the Brethren is the name since 1908 of one of the older denominations in the Free or Believers Church tradition. It was founded in 1708 in Schwarzenau, Germany, by a group of Reformed and Lutheran Pietists who adopted beliefs and practices along Anabaptist lines. Because of severe persecution and economic necessity, virtually the entire movement migrated to North America beginning in 1719. Known here as the German Baptist Brethren, or colloquially as "Dunkers" or "Dunkards," the Brethren founded congregations across the nation with heaviest concentration in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and California. The adult membership in 1999 was 138,000 in 1029 congregations and 35 fellowships. These figures do not include members of independent churches in Nigeria, India, and Ecuador once affiliated with the Church of the Brethren.

Extractions: THE BRETHREN IN EUROPE There the Brethren spread across the continent, planting themselves largely in isolated rural communities. They kept pace with the Westward migration and were sometimes pioneer settlers. Today the Brethren number 141,400 members in 1,063 congregations in the United States. Overseas membership is not counted in these statistics. Missionaries from several of the Brethren groups, starting in 1894, developed active congregations in India, China, Nigeria, Argentina, Ecuador, and other nations. Most of these have united with indigenous churches and are thriving under local leadership. There are six major bodies today which stem from the Schwarzenau movement. The Church of the Brethren is the largest; followed by the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches; The Brethren Church; the Old German Baptist Brethren; the Dunkard Brethren; and the Conservative Grace Brethren Churches, International. In the 20th century, Brethren began returning to visit the sites of their origins. After World War II many volunteer workers from the Church of the Brethren did relief work in Germany, helping to alleviate the devastation and misery created by war and the influx of refugees. A center was established in Kassel for the many activities of the Brethren Service Commission. International workcamps and other programs were organized for Schwarzenau. In 1956 a sum of money was given by Brethren in the USA to help make possible the construction of a new school for village. This was named the "Alexander Mack School," after the first minister of the Brethren.

Extractions: Religion Brethren, a group of Protestant churches that trace their origin to Schwarzenau, Hesse, in 1708, in which year a group of seven persons under the leadership of Alexander Mack (1679-1735) covenanted to form a brotherhood following the commandments of Jesus Christ as revealed in the New Testament. The course of the brotherhood was shaped by three influencesthe Protestant faith in which its organizers had been raised, the Pietist reform movement ( see Pietism ), and Anabaptist teachings from the Radical Reformation of the 16th century.

http://www.deusvitae.com/pietismpage.html

Extractions: Pietism On this page: Overview Pietism, or the Pietistic movement, sees their origin with Jan Hus, the pre-Reformation preacher in the modern day Czech Republic, in the 1450s; more specifically, the movement originated in Germany in the early seventeenth century within the Lutheran church as a group of Lutherans interested more in the working of the Spirit and a personal faith than the institutional type faith of the church at that time. Many such Lutherans stayed within Lutheranism; some of these pietists, however, were disenchanted with the attitudes in the Lutheran church, and began their own churches, most of them involving the term "Brethren," of which the Church of the Brethren is the oldest and one of the largest. John Wesley was influenced greatly by the Pietists, and many consider him a Pietist himself. These groups are known for a focus on individual faith with the workings of the Spirit and a very literal reading of New Testament practices, including foot washing and the holy kiss. Variants The Moravian Brethren, called as such by the region of their origin, trace their history back to the 1450s with Jan Hus and his preaching. Otherwise, the Pietist movement has many members within the Lutheran churches, but by the beginning of the eighteenth century, some groups began to separate, starting with the Schwarzenau Brethren, now known as the Church of the Brethren, in 1708. The Old German Baptist Brethren separated from the Church of the Brethren in 1881 over the adaptations in dress and custom in the nineteenth century; in 1921, an even more conservative faction of the Old German Baptist Brethren, split off, calling themselves the Old Order German Baptist Brethren.

Extractions: Anabaptism in 16th Century Europe Challenge to the Reformers T he enthusiasm of the Reformers was finally given vent for expression at the Diet of Augsburg in 1530, when the Emperor Charles V Calvinism would spread as far as Scotland where it was promulgated by the illustrious preacher and organizer John Knox. Anabaptism gave new meaning to spiritual living. It was an intense experience. Opponent of the movement Sebastian Franek wrote in 1531: They soon gained a large following, and baptized thousands, drawing to themselves many sincere souls who had a zeal for God ... They increased so rapidly that the world feared an uprising by them though I have learned that this fear had no justification whatsoever (Chronica, Zeitbuch und Geschichtbibel) . Heinrich Bullinger, successor to Zwingli's writes: Anabaptism spread with such speed that there was reason to fear that the majority of the common people would unite with this sect (Augsburgs Reformationsgeschichte) . Zwingli himself became so alarmed at the strength of the movement and the heartfelt convictions of it's adherents that he soon considered his own conflicts and theological skirmishes with Catholicism to be child's play (Letter of Zwingli to Vadian, May 28, 1525)
