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.

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

14. Honors To Alexander Mack Interpretation of the life and thought of Alexander Mack, founder of the Brethren Church, church of the brethren, Grace Brethren, and other Brethren groups. http://www.cob-net.org/mack/honors.htm

This document may be reproduced, only if remaining intact, with prior acknowledgement to the author. In America today we honor many distinguished persons: former presidents, military heroes, actors and actresses, athletes, and pop singers. We honor them by naming buildings, streets, airports, and cities for them. We inscribe their names on sidewalks in Hollywood or immortalize them in various Halls of Fame. Religious leaders have also earned places of honor. Stained glass windows in beautiful cathedrals honor many saints of the early church. A monumental wall in Geneva Switzerland honors Protestant Reformers, such as Martin Luther and John Calvin. In his letter to the Christians in Rome, St. Paul counseled them to give honor to whom honor is due. (Romans 13:7) As the organizer and first minister of the small religious group in Germany who called themselves “New Baptists,” Alexander Mack (1679-1735) is one deserving high honors. Today the Brethren Church, the Church of the Brethren, the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches, and the Old German Baptist Brethren, as well as a number of groups in Asia, Africa and South America all trace their denominational origins back to Alexander Mack and a baptismal service of eight persons in the Eder River at Schwarzenau, Germany, in August of 1708. Mack was born in the obscure agricultural village of Schriesheim, a few miles from Heidelberg, Germany in 1679, more than 300 years ago. His ancestors had been political and religious leaders of the village since their arrival there in 1560. His father was twice mayor of Schriesheim and a successful mill owner. Although Alexander had hoped to attend the University at Heidelberg, the death of an older brother made him a logical heir to the large mill, cutting short his educational aspirations. Schriesheim suffered from successive occupations by invading German and French armies. Three times the Mack family had to flee to nearby hills for safety. Growing up Mack became disillusioned by war and war-making states, and confused by the participation of Christians on both sides of a conflict.

15. Homosexuality And The Church Of The Brethren HOMOSEXUALITY AND THE. church of the brethren. Editorial March/April, 1992 Volume27, Number 2 Harold S. Martin. Homosexuality and. the church of the brethren. http://www.brfwitness.org/Articles/1992v27n2.htm

Main News Views Links ... Articles from BRF Witness Letters to BRF Contact BRF BRF Staff Schedule Volunteer Service ... Links HOMOSEXUALITY AND THE CHURCH OF THE BRETHREN Editorial March/April, 1992 Volume 27, Number 2 The issue of homosexuality has not been laid aside in the Church of the Brethren. Some look at homosexuality as a sin; others see it as a gift from God. The pages of Messenger frequently have letters from readers that express points of view pro and con. There continues to be a great deal of polarization concerning the issue. The 1983 Annual Conference decision on human sexuality is being interpreted in many ways. The printed message featured on the pages just ahead was delivered more than 1 1/2 years ago, but the facts continue to be relevant. More recently, in the Winter, 1991 issue of Brethren Life and Thought , more than forty pages were devoted to a discussion of homosexuality in the Church of the Brethren. The purpose of the fourteen articles in the special Brethren Life and Thought issue, was to determine whether or not the church is "extending Christlike comfort and grace to homosexual and bisexual persons" (as recommended in the 1983 Human Sexuality Report).
