Extractions: Pietism On this page: Overview Pietism, or the Pietistic movement, sees their origin with Jan Hus, the pre-Reformation preacher in the modern day Czech Republic, in the 1450s; more specifically, the movement originated in Germany in the early seventeenth century within the Lutheran church as a group of Lutherans interested more in the working of the Spirit and a personal faith than the institutional type faith of the church at that time. Many such Lutherans stayed within Lutheranism; some of these pietists, however, were disenchanted with the attitudes in the Lutheran church, and began their own churches, most of them involving the term "Brethren," of which the Church of the Brethren is the oldest and one of the largest. John Wesley was influenced greatly by the Pietists, and many consider him a Pietist himself. These groups are known for a focus on individual faith with the workings of the Spirit and a very literal reading of New Testament practices, including foot washing and the holy kiss. Variants The Moravian Brethren, called as such by the region of their origin, trace their history back to the 1450s with Jan Hus and his preaching. Otherwise, the Pietist movement has many members within the Lutheran churches, but by the beginning of the eighteenth century, some groups began to separate, starting with the Schwarzenau Brethren, now known as the Church of the Brethren, in 1708. The Old German Baptist Brethren separated from the Church of the Brethren in 1881 over the adaptations in dress and custom in the nineteenth century; in 1921, an even more conservative faction of the Old German Baptist Brethren, split off, calling themselves the Old Order German Baptist Brethren.

Canning in Cans and the Tomato Comes of Age From the Commode to the Privy to Indoors! Grocery Shopping The Telephone The Automobile ... The Circus I have often held that, beyond a shadow a doubt, the indoor toilet is the greatest invention ever invented by man. (Followed closely, no doubt, by the invention of toilet paper! Can you really imagine life without toilet paper!) I am only personally familiar with the small, 3'x3' one-holer of my grandfather, but I do remember being in awe while inside a neighbor's 3-holer once. But, of course, one only heard about the grand and glorious, roomy, bricked, 5-holers, with a STOVE no less! And in the mountains, of course, two story privy's. This was so the folks would have a privy when the snow got too high and blocked the door on the lower level! I vividly remember running as fast as I could in the middle of the night so the "boogie" man wouldn't get me. In order for the toilet to come indoors, three things had to happen: 1) a means devised to bring water into the home, i.e., water supply and indoor plumbing 2) the device itself, and 3) a means of disposal.

Extractions: The emigration of another German, Christoph Saur to Lancaster County Pennsylvania in 1724 may also be said to be a landmark date in early German emigration to America. In 1743, this emigrant from the village of Laasphe, near Schwarzenau, is credited with having printed the first German-language bible in America. The Wittgenstein district is said to be the place where the Church of the Schwarzenau Brethren originated. Today, many religious groups in America are able to trace their heritage back to the 17th century German Anabaptists and Pietist from this area. Among the names of emigrants from North Rhine-Westphalia that have retained prominence in American History is, of course, Carl Schurz. He was born in the tenant-house quarters of Gracht Castle in Liblar, near Bonn. In 1849, Schurz fought in the May uprising in Baden. He later escaped to Switzerland and, via Rostock and England, sailed to America in 1852. He was the first German-born immigrant, who succeeded in rising to attain a career as a national politician, first, as a political advisor to Abraham Lincoln, later, as a Missouri State Senator and, finally, from 1877 to 1881, as the Secretary of the Interior. The open air museum in the town of Kommern recently presented an exhibit on emigration from North Rhine-Westphalia to America.

"Howard" Culp (1925-1995) became involved in genealogical research in the early 1970's when asked to contribute information on his father's "Outlaw" family connection. The Outlaw family information was being supplemented at the time (1972) by Mr. Albert Henry Outlaw of Greensboro, NC. The original work being entitled Outlaw Genealogy This sparked a life-long interest in genealogical research and Dad spent the next five years pursuing what he called the "European Connection". The information you will see on this page is a result of his tireless research and the research of countless others who have spent many hours at this tedious endeavor and been kind enough to share it with me.

Beissel served as the community's composer as well as spiritual leader, and devised his own system of composition. The Ephratra hymnal (words only) was printed in The charismatic figure Beissel passed away in and this contributed to a declining membership.

Extractions: Anabaptism in 16th Century Europe Challenge to the Reformers T he enthusiasm of the Reformers was finally given vent for expression at the Diet of Augsburg in 1530, when the Emperor Charles V Calvinism would spread as far as Scotland where it was promulgated by the illustrious preacher and organizer John Knox. Anabaptism gave new meaning to spiritual living. It was an intense experience. Opponent of the movement Sebastian Franek wrote in 1531: They soon gained a large following, and baptized thousands, drawing to themselves many sincere souls who had a zeal for God ... They increased so rapidly that the world feared an uprising by them though I have learned that this fear had no justification whatsoever (Chronica, Zeitbuch und Geschichtbibel) . Heinrich Bullinger, successor to Zwingli's writes: Anabaptism spread with such speed that there was reason to fear that the majority of the common people would unite with this sect (Augsburgs Reformationsgeschichte) . Zwingli himself became so alarmed at the strength of the movement and the heartfelt convictions of it's adherents that he soon considered his own conflicts and theological skirmishes with Catholicism to be child's play (Letter of Zwingli to Vadian, May 28, 1525)
