View an enlarged photograph of Schwarzenau , Germany, by clicking on the above photo. Alexander Mack of Schriesheim would seek refuge from religious persecution in the district of Wittgenstein near the village of Schwarzenau and organize a new religious group in 1708, founded on the principles of Pietism and Anabaptism . Over the centuries, this original group would eventually separate into many different Brethren Groups . Here are some of the historical developments that contributed to this originating call to the Brethren.

So very true has history validated this statement. The monolithic Roman Empire which attempted to stamp out the Gospel of Jesus gradually receded into the two rising arms of the Christian Church: Latin in the West and Greek in the East. The dominance of the Church at Rome suppressed literacy and free expression for a thousand years, but the culture of the Eastern Orthodox flourished. Most of what we know of the ancient world is derived from Eastern manuscripts. The

Origins of the Church of the Brethren and Other Brethren Groups by Lois C. Byrem, Strasburg, Pennsylvania Groups which stem from the Schwarzenau Brethren, 1708 Many religious groups have the term "brethren" as part of their names. Most are not related to the events that took place in Schwarzenau (present day Germany), in 1708, and to the group called "the Schwarzenau Brethren." According to The Brethren Encyclopedia, there have been more than 35 groups which are identified as having evolved from the Schwarzenau Brethren. It is important to note that those that are listed below, all consider themselves to be the true heirs of the Schwarzenau Brethren. The Church of the Brethren (earlier called Fraternity of German Baptists, until 1907 they were known as the German Baptist Brethren). Membership about 155,000. Beginning in Pennsylvania in 1723. Considered "conservative" in the 1880s. It has a seminary and six colleges. Headquarters - Elgin, Illinois. Ephrata Community (German Seventh Day Baptists). Led by Conrad Beissel, it resulted in the first schism among the Brethren in 1728. In 1732, Beissel led his followers to the place where the Ephrata Cloister now stands. Membership about 100.

Guide to the Brethren in Europe THE BRETHREN IN EUROPE There the Brethren spread across the continent, planting themselves largely in isolated rural communities. They kept pace with the Westward migration and were sometimes pioneer settlers. Today the Brethren number 141,400 members in 1,063 congregations in the United States. Overseas membership is not counted in these statistics. Missionaries from several of the Brethren groups, starting in 1894, developed active congregations in India, China, Nigeria, Argentina, Ecuador, and other nations. Most of these have united with indigenous churches and are thriving under local leadership. There are six major bodies today which stem from the Schwarzenau movement. The Church of the Brethren is the largest; followed by the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches; The Brethren Church; the Old German Baptist Brethren; the Dunkard Brethren; and the Conservative Grace Brethren Churches, International. In the 20th century, Brethren began returning to visit the sites of their origins. After World War II many volunteer workers from the Church of the Brethren did relief work in Germany, helping to alleviate the devastation and misery created by war and the influx of refugees. A center was established in Kassel for the many activities of the Brethren Service Commission. International workcamps and other programs were organized for Schwarzenau. In 1956 a sum of money was given by Brethren in the USA to help make possible the construction of a new school for village. This was named the "Alexander Mack School," after the first minister of the Brethren.

Discover many external religious events that significantly contributed to our formation. Included are many secular historical markers to help properly frame Brethren events in relation to world happenings. European Origin Alexander Mack, son of a German miller was greatly influenced by Pietism, especially it's emphasis on faith as something to be experienced apart from ritual and form. After befriending members of the Separatist wing of the Pietistic movement, Mack and seven others proceeded to the Eder River at Schwarzenau, Germany, in the autumn of 1708, and (re)baptized themselves into a community of faith rooted in both Pietism, and Anabaptism from an earlier period. This was an illegal action for which they had "counted the cost" (Luke 14:28).

This instrument does not attempt to be an exhaustive compilation of all historical occurrences regarding our denomination, for space limitations preclude the incorporation of vast amounts of data, which could also be garnered from other works, online or in printed hardcopy form. A sample of both can be found in our Bibliography . Hopefully this listing will give you a very quick chronological perspective of our history in relation to the greater time frame of world history, and a better appreciation of how each circumstance may have influenced the Church of the Brethren. In many cases, these events will have also affected other Brethren Groups One of the most difficult tasks was deciding at what year to begin this chronology, for how can one faithfully determine or interpret which events that preceded our founding moment in 1708, would later influence our denomination and which events would not. We begin this timeline with Czech religious leader and university professor John Hus for this reason: faced with a growing displeasure over the ecclesiastical practices and theological interpretations of the medieval Church, Hus was willing to "count the cost" (Luke 14:28) of challenging the authority of the Church, and bare the obvious consequence of refusing to recant his beliefs. This closely models the determination of the early Brethren, to follow

20. Brethren World Assembly - Background multivolume reference work recording the history, beliefs, and practices of thosereligious bodies originating in Germany with the schwarzenau brethren of 1708 http://www.brethren.org/genbd/bhla/BWA/Background.html

July 23-26, 2003 * Grace College * Winona Lake, Indiana BACKGROUND The first Brethren World Assembly was held in 1992 at Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania. The theme was "Christ is Lord: Affirming Our Faith Heritage." This Assembly commemorated the 250th anniversary of the first known Brethren Annual Meeting, held in 1742 in the Conestoga area of Lancaster County. The second Brethren World Assembly was held in 1998 at Bridgewater College in Bridgewater, Virginia. The theme was "Faith and Family—Challenges and Commitments." Field excursions took conference attendees to Linville Creek to visit the sites of John Kline's murder and his former home; Tunker House, the former home of Peter Nead and M.R. Zigler and a designated National Historic Site; and the Linville Creek cemetery where John Kline and M.R. Zigler are buried. At this meeting, the Conservative Grace Brethren Church International became an active participant in the Brethren Encyclopedia organization. This year the Assembly will be hosted by Grace College in Winona Lake, Indiana. The theme is "Brethren Presence Around the World." Some of the Brethren bodies have active foreign mission programs which have resulted in many congregations and denominational organizations outside the United States. There are more than 1,800 congregations of Brethren in at least 22 nations on every continent (except Antarctica). Total membership outside the United States is rather sketchy, but probably is at least 400,000. So there is a worldwide Brethren movement with more than 3,400 congregations and more than 600,000 members located in twenty-three nations. In addition to these permanently situated congregations, there are many Brethren around the world serving in short-term and long-term service ministries. This conference theme helps us visualize the question: Where are the Brethren around the world and what are they doing?
