Piracy Ships Flags Weapons ... E-Mail Over the centuries, pirates have been portrayed as both admirable rogues and bloodthirsty devils. This site is about the reality, myth, and romance of those adventurous souls mainly from the Golden Age of Piracy. Which refers to a time around the late 17th to early 18th centuries. It contains information regarding pirate facts and fiction, with biographies of some of the most famous pirates from this era. You will also find pages devoted to piracy in general, pirate ships, pirate images and artworks, pirate flags, pirate weapons and nautical treasure. There is a movie list for swashbuckler fans, and even a dictionary of nautical terms for all ye scurvy landlubbers as well. The Ports O'Call area is a list of links to most of my favorite seafarin' and pirate related websites. Many of these sites were used as sources of information and inspiration on the subject. Lately I have received many e-mail requests from buggers looking to buy various pirate items. So at the bottom of Ports O'Call there is a new section of links to websites that sell pirate and nautical plunder. Buyer beware.. I have not personally dealt with all of these smugglers sites and have no control over their bloody business practices. There is also a page included about sea shanties. These were the work songs used on many of the large sailing ships in the 18th and 19th centuries. Although the majority of these were used after the Golden Age of Piracy, some are based on songs of that time period. They have been added to give you a sense of life aboard a tall sailing vessel. Check back here often as I will be building on and update this site frequently. In the meantime gather round a keg of rum and enjoy your stay.. but you better keep a weather eye open.. for there be treacherous waters ahead.. watch your step around here matey.. least ye meet yer doom.

23. Brethren In America Migration and expansion of the Schwarzenau brethren in America from religious persecution, the early brethren migrated across the European landscape to another group of peace desiring brethren from the expansion project in Marienborn http://www.cob-net.org/america.htm

The Migration and Expansion of the Brethren in America Written by Ronald J. Gordon This document may be reproduced for non-profit or educational purposes only, with the provisions that the entire document remain intact and full acknowledgement be given to the author. fter enjoying a temporary respite in the district of Wittgenstein from religious persecution, the early Brethren migrated across the European landscape to escape renewed harassment and intolerance. Alexander Mack led one group from Schwarzenau where they had organized in 1708, to a small village in northeastern Holland called Surhuisterveen around 1720. John Naas and Peter Becker moved another group of peace desiring Brethren from the expansion project in Marienborn to the city of Krefeld in 1715. This haven for Mennonites was an industrial textile city along the Rhine River under the temporary jurisdiction of the King of Prussia. In 1729, Mack transported his Anabaptist Pietist refugees to Pennsylvania where the guarantee of religious expression seemed certain at last. William Penn was promising economic freedom and cheap land in order to build his dream of a Christian state. Embarking from Rotterdam on the ship Allen , his party would arrive in Philadelphia harbor on September 11, 1729. Preceding him by ten years, however, was the first Brethren group of about twenty families who arrived in 1719 from Krefeld, Germany, under the leadership of Peter Becker. The new arrivals settled in a northwest suburb of Philadelphia called Germantown, most probably because of it's kindred ethnic culture. It was previously established in the 1680's by Mennonites who also came from Krefeld. The congregation at Germantown would serve as a missionary base for the Brethren who spread their gospel of radical transformation to surrounding territories. Here are some of the more significant events in the early migration and expansion of the Brethren in America.

"Plymouth Brethren" FAQ Author: Shawn Abigail October 2001 Version 1.9 This Frequently Asked Questions list (FAQ) concentrates on the so called "Open Brethren" since this is the background of the author. However, an attempt is made to explain some of the positions of "Closed and Exclusive Brethren". This FAQ should not in any way be considered to be an authoritative document representing the view of any local church or any individual (including the author). At almost every point in this FAQ, you will find Brethren churches that will disagree or differ. Variation is even greater between different countries. The author could probably best be described as from the traditional end of the open Brethren in North America. Suggestions and corrections should be emailed to: Shawn Abigail This FAQ now has an official home page! You can see it at: http://www.brethrenonline.org Quite a number of brothers have sent me email with suggestions and additions. I would like to thank all who have helped build this FAQ.

25. M.B. Herald, Vol. 35, No. 3: "Who Are Our Pastors? And How Are They Doing?" Statistics on MB pastors. http://www.mbconf.ca/mb/mbh3503/feature1.htm

Who are our pastors? And how are they doing? Jim Coggins In 1993, Lyle E. Larson and J. Walter Goltz, in cooperation with the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, conducted a detailed survey of pastors and their spouses in 21 denominations across Canada. Questionnaires were sent to 181 of the 335 Mennonite Brethren pastor households; 66 pastors (64 of them male) and 58 spouses (57 of them female) responded. The results were expected in some cases, surprising in others. On the whole, Mennonite Brethren pastors, their challenges and their ministries are similar to their counterparts in other evangelical denominations. However, there are also some significant differences. With the permission of Lyle E. Larson, J. Walter Goltz and the EFC, we present the following summary of the MB results. Who are our pastors? The average Mennonite Brethren pastor is 46 years old (slightly higher than the evangelical average) and has about 15 years of pastoral experience in three pastorates. Ninety-seven percent of MB pastors are married (for an average of 22 years), and 88% have children (an average of 3.3 children). These MB pastors and their spouses come from stable homes. Only 1.5% of MB pastors and 3.4% of spouses come from families in which there was a divorce or separation. Eighty-two percent of MB pastors described their relationship with their fathers and mothers as accepting or supportive (another 3% said their relationship with their fathers was fantastic; 11% said their relationship with their mothers was fantastic.)

Site Search "I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." In recent years, several well-known Christian authors (including Tim LaHaye, Hal Lindsey, and David Wilkerson) have referred to the so-called Plymouth Brethren movement in their writings, renewing interest in this non-denominational Christian movement which originated in Ireland and England during the 1820s and 1830s. Plymouth Brethren ". John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) later wrote, "What gave rise to the existence of so-called Plymouth Brethren is the grand truth, the great fact, of the descent of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, to form the body of Christ into one; then the coming of the Saviour as the continual expectation of the Christian".* I trust this site will be a resource and blessing for persons who love the Lord Jesus (John 14:23), call on Him out of a pure heart (2 Timothy 2:22), and hope for His coming (2 Thessalonians 2:1).

One common denominator which usually holds true for most Brethren groups is that each progenitive body originated in central Europe under the influence of Anabaptism or Pietism, during the Fifteenth to Eighteenth centuries. There are so many Christian denominations and sub-groups using the term Brethren, that questions frequently arise over their relationship with each other.

" Because you, brothers, were marked out to be free; only do not make use of your free condition to give the flesh its chance, but through love be servants one to another. " (Galatským 5:13 ) Last updated: April 2, 2004 The Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren - Prague 10 Strašnice A few Words about the Church The Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren is a Christian church containing traditions of Czech and European reformation, founded in 1918 by the connection of two protestant currents: the Lutheran and the Calvin one. It is a church based on testimony of the Bible, first of all on the gospel. Though some of its traditions go back up to the 15th century, it tries to be a modern church dealing with up-to-date world’s problems. Its organization is formed by principles of democracy. Since its foundation in 1930 until the summer 2001, the congregational house hadn’t been reconstructed and so its facade remained the same. Original colors couldn’t been recognized any longer, the house became one of gray buildings in a gray street for many years. Just a copper chalice with the Bible at the front wall announced the difference from other houses – but even this was damaged and hard to be noticed. There was a need for reconstruction for a long time, but first for inside rooms and for the roof of the assembly hall. Nowadays the facade is brand new with new front doors and with reconstructed chalice above them. In the opposite of the original look, remained on photographs, the new surface has changed both colors and a few of “important details”. It is not the end of itself. The author of the design, Ondøej Smolík, an architecture student, says:
