Hutterian Brethren, Hutterites General Information The Hutterian Brethren, or Hutterites, are a group of Christians that traces its origin to the 16th century Anabaptists of central Europe. Like other Anabaptists, Hutterites reject state churches, practice adult baptism, and are pacifists. Under the guidance of their founder, the Tyrolean Jacob Hutter (d. 1536), they also adopted common ownership of property. BELIEVE Religious Information Source web-site Our List of 1,000 Religious Subjects E-mail Although the Hutterian Brethren were peaceful citizens and excellent farmers, they suffered intermittent but severe persecution. Hutter led his followers from the Tyrol to Moravia. Although he himself was executed, his followers were generally tolerated there until the early 17th century. Then they fled eastward, eventually to the Ukraine. In the 1870s they emigrated to the United States and settled in South Dakota; during World War I many moved to Canada. Numbering about 20,000 adherents today, they maintain their traditional piety and insularity, their pacifism, their agricultural diligence, and their hostility to modern culture. They still speak German in their communities, which are scattered throughout the Dakotas and Montana in the United States, and in Alberta and Manitoba in Canada.

The Hutterian Brethren Hutterites living in Community in North Americ a Hutterian Forefathers Jacob Hutter Peter Riedeman Jakob Wiederman Historical Picture Hutterite History The founders of the Hutterian Brethren were refugees from the Anabaptists from Switzerland, Germany, and the Tyrol (Northern Italy and Southern Austria) who settled in Moravia. In 1528 Jacob Wiederman became their leader. Also in 1528 they placed all their worldly goods together and started the communal way of life. In 1529 Jacob Hutter from the Tyrol with a group of refugees visited the colonies in Moravia. The two groups were united under Hutter's leadership. In 1533 Jacob Hutter was chosen leader of this united group. Hutter, a good organizer, forged the emergence of our Hutterian church. At this time our creed was established and has remained relatively unchanged since. Jacob Hutter was burned at the stake in Innsbruck, Austria, in 1536 for refusing to renounce his faith. Pete r Riedeman was another very important founding member of our church. His Confession of Faith is still an accepted authority for our beliefs and practices. The four most important points are adult baptism of believers, community of goods, non resistance and the separation of church and state.

Hutterian Brethren Church by Don Murphy The Hutterian Brethren, commonly called Hutterites, originated in 16th century Europe during the Reformation period when the Holy Spirit of God was stirring the hearts of those who were yearning for holiness. On January 21, 1525, a Bible study group in Zurich, Switzerland, met in the home of Felix Manz to study the issue of infant baptism. A fear came over them which pressed within their hearts. They bowed their knees in prayer to the Most High God in Heaven that He would show them His divine way and have mercy on them. After prayer, George Blaurock got up and asked Conrad Grebel to baptize him. Blaurock then baptized the others. Thus they were led to renounce infant baptism as unbiblical. They renewed the practice of the believer's baptism. These radical disciples of Christ were originally known as the Swiss Brethren and also as Anabaptists. They were immediately severely persecuted by that enemy of God, the Old Serpent, acting through his servants, so that many of those courageous children of God were martyred for their faith. Their call to complete surrender to God was rejected by the worldly church. The Catholic, Lutheran, and Reformed Churches all took part in the persecution of the Anabaptist brethren.

The Hutterian Brethren - strict religious sect Anababtist,Jacob Hutter, founded the Hutterian Brethren during the Reformation. His was a strict religious sect that believed in humble communal societies. By the time the Reformation took hold in Europe in the 16th century radical leaders like Martin Luther formed more liberal Protestant movements. Other more radical sects proclaimed that the Protestant church was still too ritualistic, that it should remain separate from affairs of the state and that a good Christian should never take up arms against another. They also believed that baptism should be performed when an individual was an adult, and by choice. These sects became known as Anabaptists, and were based primarily in Switzerland, Austria and Germany. Jacob Hutter was one of the more outspoken Anabaptists and further espoused the concept of communalism, meaning the equal sharing of all goods. In 1529, Hutter, with a small group of loyal followers, joined other exiled Anabaptists whod fled to Moravia and whose leader was named Jacob Wiederman. The groups united and established a communal way of life, Hutter becoming their leader and the founder of the Hutterian Brethren. He was eventually betrayed to the authorities who were trying to put a stop to what they considered his heretic behavior. In 1536 Jacob Hutter was burned at the stake in Innsbruck, Austria after refusing to renounce his devout beliefs. bodyOffer(25797) Peter Reideman was another influential member of the Hutterian Brethren, serving as an elder from 1542-1556. He and many other members of the sect suffered religious persecution for years, Reideman eventually spending close to a decade in prison. During one of his incarcerations, he wrote The Confession of Faith, a document of Hutterian beliefs and doctrine, which is still widely read today.

7. Hutterites: A Selected Bibliography hutterian brethren General Information. The hutterian brethren originated in Austria http://lib.sdstate.edu/hutterite/HuttGenInfo.html

Hutterian Brethren - General Information The Hutterian Brethren originated in Austria. Moravian gentry allowed Anabaptist groups to settle their domains as early as 1526 to help develop the local economies and project independence from the Holy Roman Empire. However, by 1528 the ruling class in the area began became threatened by the possibility of an Anabaptists separatist movement. The Stabler Anabaptist group of more than two hundred, led by Jakob Wiedemann, was expelled. After their expulsion the group adopted a communal lifestyle, pooling all their resources and agreeing to hold “all things common.” They eventually found refuge and some protection at Austerlitz, also in Moravia. Simultaneously, other Anabaptist groups were developing in other areas of Austria. In the Tirol, a Swiss Brethren missionary named George Blaurock had a successful ministry. Jacob Hutter, from Moos in the Puster Valley, became a convert and soon began a ministry in the Swiss Brethren tradition. Hutter became the leading Anabaptist leader in the Tirol by 1529. During that year he traveled to Austerlitz and was accepted into the Stabler community. When he returned to the Tirol, Hutter encouraged an ongoing relocation of small groups to the slightly more tolerant Moravian area because of the increase in persecution of Anabaptists in the Tirol. In 1533 Hutter moved from Tirol to Auspitz, where part of the Stabler group had moved in 1530 after a schism due to leadership disputes. His disciplinary and leadership skills enabled him to establish a sense of mission and cohesion within the discordant group. However, persecution of the Hutterites and other Anabaptist groups escalated in the mid-1530s and the Moravian land owners again expelled them. Hutter’s life was endangered because he was an important leader. He returned to the Tirol, but was captured and burned at the stake in Innsbruck in 1536. He refused to renounce his beliefs in the separation of church and state and he refused to take oaths, bear arms, or to abandon his support for a communal way of life.

The Christian Communalism of the Hutterian Brethren By Robert Friedmann American Society for Reformation Research December 29, 1954 The epistles and confessions of faith and the tracts [of the 16th century] by Jacob Huter, Peter Riedeman, Ulrich Stadler, Peter Walpot, and all the lesser known brethren, the numberless martyrs and witnesses to their faith, clearly disclose three major motives which produced the Christian communalism of the Hutterian Brethren which has endured for almost 500 years. Motive one is brotherly love in action, the strong longing of Christians for brotherly sharing and togetherness. Motive two is "Gelassenheit," a term derived from the mystics and almost untranslatable. It means yielding absolutely to the will of God with a dedicated heart, forsaking all selfishness and one's own will.

They were popularly known as Dunkards, Dunkers, or Tunkers, from the German for "to dip," referring to their method of baptizing. The Brethren evolved from the Pietist movement in Germany. The first congregation was organized there in 1708 by Alexander Mack. Persecution drove them to America where, under Peter Becker, they settled (1719) in Germantown, Pa. From that and other settlements in Pennsylvania they spread westward and into Canada. The Brethren oppose war and advocate temperance, the simple life, plain dress, and "obedience to Christ rather than obedience to creeds and cults." The original group, at present the largest in the United States, is the Church of the Brethren (Conservative Dunkers); the local churches are united by an annual conference that elects a general board to supervise the national church program.

Mennonite Religion and other spiritual topics can be found in the Seekers Guide Mennonite Religion - An Introduction Those practicing the Mennonite religion are direct spiritual descendants of the Anabaptist movement, which was founded in Zurich, Switzerland in 1535. Mennonites were considered the left wing of the Protestant Reformation, and were persecuted by Catholics Lutherans , and Calvinists for their extreme beliefs, such as that only adult believers could be baptized. Mennonites got their name from a former Roman Catholic priest named Menno Simons, who joined the movement. Many of these persecuted Protestants fled to America and settled there around 1683. Later, other Mennonite settlers came to America, but these people have tended to keep to themselves. Members of the Mennonites include the Amish, the Hutterian Brethren, and many smaller denominations. Mennonites tend to interpret every word of the Bible literally. They live very austere lives and are complete pacifists.
