History Main article: History of Christianity. Click the link for more information. Anabaptist Anabaptists ("re-baptizers", from Greek ana and baptizo ; in German: Wiedertäufer ) are Christians of the so-called "radical wing" of the Protestant Reformation. The term was coined by critics, who objected to the practice of performing baptism for adults (whose baptism, as infants, the Anabaptists claimed was not valid). Various groups at various times have been called Anabaptist , but this article focuses primarily on the Anabaptists of 16th century Europe.

They number about 170,000. The most conservative of the Mennonites are called "Amish." They refuse all modern conveniences. The Mennonite movement began in Germany, was subject to great persecutions, and flourished in America beginning in the seventeenth century. In some areas, particularly in Pennsylvania, the Amish people are known for their German ("Pennsylvania Dutch") dialects, their plain black clothing and their horses and buggies.

KRIM-GR Research Website Mennonite Settlements in the Crimea A separate page has been devoted to the Mennonites who lived in the Crimea for the main reason that there are at present, no church records available for these peoples. I therefore felt that it would be advantageous to present a history of the Mennonites migrations, villages, and the people as a specific source of information for those searching for information on their Mennonite ancestors. A number of links to Mennonite genealogy websites are provided in the “ Links ” section of this website. Mennonite books are also listed in the “ Books ” section and I hope to be able to provide a page of Mennonite surnames and villages in the future. Many of the Mennonites who lived in the Crimea migrated there from the Molotschna colonies in northern Taurien. If time permits, I plan to also provide a Taurien website as an addition to this one which hopefully will include further links for the Molotschna Mennonites. History of the Mennonite Settlers In 1786, two Mennonites from West Prussia, Jakob Hoeppner and Johann Bartsch had come to Russia in search of a suitable site for the settlement of a large group of their Mennonite Brethren. In1787, Catherine asked these two men to join them on her triumphal tour of the South, which included the Crimea which had just recently been annexed to Russia. These two men chose the first site for their village near Berislav, on the Dnieper River, however, the Russo-Turkish war broke out

Presently with over one million members, the Mennonite Church has been in existence for more than 475 years, with a wide variety of practices and peoples: from Midwest farmer to a European architect; from the African chieftain to the South American sociologist. Although they speak dozens of languages, the thousands of different congregations count themselves as one family of faith one of many faith families in the Christian church. The Name of Our Family Like Lutherans who were named after Martin Luther, Mennonites were nicknamed after an early Dutch leader, Menno Simons. But just as Menno was a follower of Christ, so Mennonites today are followers of Christ, not Menno. (In a similar manner, a later, related family, the Amish, are named for their leader, Jacob Ammann.) The Family Formed This movement began in the 16th century within the Protestant Reformation in Europe. A small group of earnest young believers disagreed with reformers Martin Luther and Huldreich Zwingli over the concept of baptism of believers. Conrad Grebel led this group in an attempt to recover New Testament Christianity when they baptized one another and verbalized their faith in Jesus Christ at Zurich, Switzerland, in January 1525.

Website Index Mennonites from Galicia (Kleinpolen): Some Historical Notes by Glen Linscheid "Mennonite Historian" First Published by the "Mennonite Historian" Vol.XXI, No. 3, September 1995, pages 1-2. Republished with eMail permission by FEEFHS 24 February 1997 The historical accounts of cruel persecution unto death suffered by the early Swiss Anabaptists have been well-documented. Seeking escape and refuge, many fled into the Rheinpfalz of German Palantinate. One source puts it this way: "After the Thirty Years' War the Rheinpfalz was in a sorry state. Trees and brush covered much of the fields. Of livestock there was practically none ... The Elector wanted his former peasant land, now reduced to rubble, to be populated again with strong workers." Providential concessions and inducements caused their Rheinpfalz sojourn to prosper, despite some unjust restrictions, leading to an eventual over-abundance of settlers, usually with large families. We quote another historian as follows: "By today's standards the conditions under which the Anabaptists settled in Germany would seem somewhat discriminatory. They were allowed freedom of worship but forbidden to build their own churches, were not allowed to meet in groups larger than twenty members, and were prohibited from doing evangelistic work among their neighbours. Later they were denied the right to live in cities, and marriage required the consent of the government."

More Information about Mennonites Mennonite Church USA Mennonite Church Canada Mennonite Education Agency Mennonite Media ... Third Way Cafe Community Mennonites hold many common core beliefs and value their history as a people of God. Their beliefs in God and Jesus Christ link them with other Christian denominations. However, Mennonites live out God's call in some ways that make them distinct. Worshipping as a community of believers and studying the Bible to listen to what God is saying to the church today are very important to Mennonites. They also believe that the church is called by God to share the good news of Jesus in word and deed, showing others a glimpse of what life is like under God's rule. Adult Baptism Mennonites practice adult (or believer's) baptism. Baptism symbolizes God's forgiving grace and the beginning of a new life in Christ. At baptism people make a public commitment to obey Christ's teachings and identify with a local Christian church. Peace and Love Mennonites believe that Jesus, when he lived on earth, revealed a way for people to live peacefully and nonviolently. The commitment to the way of peace and reconciliation leads Mennonites to contribute to country and community in ways other than participating in military service.

- Browse By : - LETTER TOPIC BY KEYWORD: Mennonites are a Protestant religious group. They originated in the Netherlands and Switzerland during the early 1500s. Like other Protestant faiths, Mennonites originally formed in opposition to the actions and policies of the Roman Catholic Church. Their name is derived from the founder of the Mennonite Church in the Netherlands. His name was Menno Simons. Some Mennonites are more conservative in their religious views than others, but all of these people share many common beliefs. They all aspire to create a religious community dedicated to God's word as presented in the New Testament. They also reject infant baptism, believing that adults must profess their faith in God to be formally baptized. They do practice communion, and some members also engage in foot washing. Most Mennonites are pacifists (opposed to violence and war). Some also refuse to take oaths. They believe that the only oath that they should take is to dedicate their lives to God. Mennonite groups use some modern conveniences such as electricity and automobiles. Similar to the Amish, some of the more conservative groups, however, prefer to remain withdrawn from most modern conveniences. Conservative Mennonites also prefer simplistic dress that disguises bodily features. During the 1700s and the 1800s, many Mennonites fled the religious turmoil in Europe and sought religious freedom in the New World. Most of these people originally settled in Pennsylvania, but succeeding generations have moved across the Midwest. The Mennonites first arrived in Ohio during the early 1800s. They originally settled in modern-day Stark, Wayne, Holmes, and Knox Counties but eventually filtered into Ashland, Geauga, and Putnam Counties. Most Mennonites today earn their living through agriculture. In the United States during the 1980s, Mennonites numbered approximately 100,000 adherents.

Schedule Map to New Hamburg Map of Fairgrounds Things to Do ... 2003 Auditors Report Who Are the Mennonites? Mennonites and the Brethren in Christ are members of the historic peace churches, along with Friends (Quakers) and the Church of the Brethren. Mennonites are spiritual descendents of the Anabaptists in Europe, 16th century reformers within the Protestant Reformation who sought to recover New Testament Christianity, believing that faith must be expressed in daily living. Mennonites carry the name of their founder, Menno Simons. Currently, there are over one million members world-wide. Mennonite beliefs and practices vary widely, but important Mennonite tenets of faith include the centrality of the Bible and Jesus' teachings, voluntary church membership and adult baptism, refusal of all forms of violence and a focus on conflict resolution and peacemaking both within and beyond the church. The proceeds of the Ontario Mennonite Relief Sale support relief and development programs around the world and are a vital expression of the biblical call to care for the hungry and thirsty, the stranger, the sick and those in prison. The words of the Hymn 142 from Hymnal, A Worship Book published by Mennonite Publishing House, Scottdale, Pennsylvania, text by Kenneth I. Morse, and music by Wilbur E. Brumbaugh express the compassion felt by all who volunteer their time at the Ontario Mennonite Relief Sale.

120. Congregational Singing In The Church Orthodox America. Congregational Singing in the Church. by ArchbishopAverky. Congregational public singing in church is a strictly http://www.roca.org/oa/51/51k.htm

Orthodox America Congregational Singing in the Church by Archbishop Averky Congregational [public] singing in church is a strictly Orthodox tradition, for it is of ancient Christian origin. The restoration of congregational singing in our time must be hailed, for it has the most profound roots in the very concept of our Divine Services, in which all the faithful must accept participation "with one mouth and one heart." The very structure of our Orthodox Divine Services, which requires a constant interchange, like a roll-call, of the exclamations of the priest and deacon with the reading of the tonsured reader, and the singing of the people, already presupposes the most active and conscious participation of all "those standing" in the Divine Service being celebrated, and not just a passive presence in the church, even if it is accompanied by private prayer. Such an active participation of the laity in the Divine Services is indicated by those numerous notations in the Typicon and Divine Service books where the word " lik " [lit. face]...is very often replaced by the pronoun "we", as for example, "we sing in the most attractive voice, ‘Lord I have cried,’ or, "and we sing 'Joyous Light'," (Typ; ch,:2).
