BrethrenOnline.org In the 1820's, a small group of Christians met in an attempt to return to New Testament simplicity. They took as their guide, not the creeds and religious traditions of the denominations around them, but rather the Bible. Through many growing pains and some setbacks, their spiritual example is alive and growing today. These Christians have been called by many names - Plymouth Brethren being sometimes used. But their true allegiance remains the Lord Jesus Christ, and they seek happy fellowship with all Christian brethren who love the Lord and seek to follow His word. FAQs Ecclesia A.D.

12. Basic Beliefs Within The Church Of The Brethren Online booklet published by brethren Revival Fellowship. http://www.brfwitness.org/Articles/1968v3n2.htm

Main News Links Basic Beliefs Within the Church of the Brethren FOREWORD More than two centuries ago in Germany, a new fellowship of Christian believers was formed. The established churches had become rich, powerful, and corrupt. They no longer proclaimed the simple message of the New Testament. Alexander Mack and other Pietists set out to form a church as nearly like the First Century Church as possible, and they took the New Testament as their rule of faith and practice. The Church of the Brethren is the present name given to that new fellowship. Most of the Brethren migrated to America in the 1720s. In basic orientation and background, the Brethren are Anabaptist (reject infant baptism) and Pietist (emphasize holy living). Brethren have historically accepted the basic Christian doctrines along with practices sometimes neglected by major groups of Christians. These include a commitment to peace and reconciliation, an emphasis on simple living, an opposition to taking oaths, the maintenance of a strong and wholesome family life, service to neighbors, and the practice of outward symbols taught in the New Testament (such as feetwashing and the sisters' veiling). The Brethren have sometimes become careless in applying biblical mandates, and because of this, a loosely knit network of people have formed the Brethren Revival Fellowship, which is a renewal movement in the Church of the Brethren. Brethren Revival Fellowship distributes this

The Brethren Group Profile Beliefs Church Governance Brethren Groups ... Bibliography I. Group Profile Name: The Brethren Founder: Alexander Mack Date of Birth: Birth Place: Schrisheim in Germany Year Founded: Brief History: With the end of the Thirty Years War in 1648, the German principalities were given the freedom to choose between the Catholic, Lutheran or German Reformed traditions as their established faiths. But the established churches were not satisfactory for some. Pietism began to gain influence among people who felt that the churches were too mechanical. Alexander Mack agreed with the pietists position that there was a needfor a more personal and spiritual experience in religion. But unlike the pietist who believed that baptism was merely spiritual, he believed in adult baptism and the importance of water in the baptismal act (Brubaker, 2). On a summer day in 1708, Alexader Mack rebaptized eight people in the river Eder, thus initiating the "Brethren movement." The Brethren, officially known as the German Baptists throughout the nineteenth century (Melton, 441), mixed pietism with the Anabaptist tradition, blending a renewed emphasis on spirituality with the Anabaptist emphasis on outward expression of faith. They were specially influenced by the

Church of the Brethren Annual Conference ABC Bethany ... Marketplace Brethren Volunteer Service is a program of the Church of the Brethren. BVS has been a major program in this Christian denomination since 1948. We invite you to participate in the BVS family and a new adventure in service. BVS will endeavor to place you in a project where your skills are used and the need is greatest. We expect your service to contribute to the goals stated above. We see BVS as sharing God's love through acts of service. The art of serving is a process of both giving and receiving. We need to be able to freely give of ourselves and freely receive what others can offer and teach us. It is our hope that this art will move beyond a one- to two-year program and will become a lifestyle that continues after BVS. A part of preparation for your service is participation in a 10-day to three week orientation unit. With this group of 10 to 30 people, you will examine issues related to service, personal and spiritual growth, group living, adjustment to new situations, living simply, and cross-cultural sensitivity. Growing out of the relationships and community spirit developed during the orientation, unit members can provide mutual support for each other. We believe that your service will be more meaningful and of greater value to others and to yourself if you seek to nurture your faith pilgrimage. Therefore, we encourage you to participate in a faith community as you serve in Brethren Volunteer Service.
