	Brethren - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Church of the United Brethren in Christ and the Brethren in Christ Church (or River Brethren) owe their origins to the combined labors of Reformed pastor Philip William Otterbein and Mennonite Martin Boehm, beginning in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in the latter half of the 18th century.
		The Social Brethren originated in Saline County, Illinois in 1867, the result of an attempt to put the slavery issue away in favor of uniting on a common belief in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
		The Church of the Lutheran Brethren is neither Anabaptist nor pietistic, but is the result of a late 19th century spiritual awakening among Lutheran congregations in the upper midwestern United States.

	Brethren in Christ Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Brethren in Christ Church (often called B.I.C. Church) is an evangelical Christian denomination with roots in the Mennonite church, pietism, and Wesleyan holiness.
		Often known by their locality, a group of brethren north of Marietta, Pennsylvania on the east side of the Susquehanna River became known as the River Brethren.
		The River Brethren distanced themselves from other Anabaptist denominations (Mennonites and German Baptists) as they developed a conviction that trine immersion was the scriptural form of baptism.

	Mennonite Brethren in Christ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Mennonite Brethren in Christ Church was the name from 1883 to 1947 of a religious denomination which since the latter date has been called the United Missionary Church (1947-1969), Missionary Church (1969-1995) and Evangelical Missionary Church (1995-).
		It was formed on 29 December 1883, by the union of two bodies, the Evangelical United Mennonite, and a Brethren in Christ group in Ohio, known as the Swankites, who had separated from their mother body in 1838.
		The Mennonite Brethren in Christ Church represented in its beginning a breaking forth of new life in the Mennonite community, with emphasis upon evangelism and aggressive work, conversion and Christian experience with a warm, rather emotional piety, and a stronger supervisory organization.

	Brethren in Christ
		Brethren in Christ (identified as "Tunkers" in Canada in the 19th century) were a group of Christians who shared the ANABAPTIST belief in adult baptism.
		After the American Revolution, many of the Brethren, who had taken a PACIFIST position in that conflict, immigrated to what is now Ontario, where their pacifist convictions were officially recognized and respected in the Militia Act of 1793.
		Canada's roughly 2500 adult Brethren in Christ participate in the international relief activities of the Mennonite Central Committee, but their church has retained a separate denominational identity in Canada and the US.

	Religious Movements Homepage: The Brethren
		The Brethren, officially known as the German Baptists throughout the nineteenth century (Melton, 441), mixed pietism with the Anabaptist tradition, blending a renewed emphasis on spirituality with the Anabaptist emphasis on outward expression of faith.
		As the Brethren Church grew and expanded, moving them beyond their traditional agricultural communities, and as industrialization made more "worldly" products available to everyone, they became increasingly more mainstream, and less recognizable as a distinct body.
		They follow traditional Brethren beliefs and practices: women are expected to have long hair and to wear a head covering, men are to have short hair, no musical instruments are accepted in the worship time, and of course divorce and remarriage is not allowed.

	"Strengthen The Brethren"
		John says the true brethren of Christ know that they know Christ, and He knows them because they keep His commandments, I John 2:3-4, and in verse 5, and by their keeping His Word, and doing it, the love of God in them is perfected.
		Christ's servants were to accomplish and grow by these goods Christ gave unto them, first in individual growth, and then their growth was to multiply, to be profitable, by reaching out to help and strengthen the brethren, to grow in His Spirit.
		Christ's brethren who thirsted were strengthened by being watered with God's Spirit, and were taught how they could be filled with His Spirit through the love and concern of God's righteous servants.

	Messiah College: Sider Institute
		The early Brethren in Christ lived a rather sectarian lifestyle, emphasizing the importance of living separate from "the world." Even into the twentieth century, many Brethren in Christ persons dressed in plain clothes, the kind of clothing that is now associated with the Old Order Amish and Mennonites.
		Brethren in Christ mission workers have planted churches in over twenty countries, the result being that less than half of the denomination's membership now resides in North America.
		Despite these changes, the Brethren in Christ Church continues to reflect its Anabaptist, Pietist and Wesleyan heritage, placing strong emphases on disciplined living, heartfelt worship, and peacemaking (see Core Values of the Brethren in Christ Church).

		The Brethren in Christ movement began around 1780 in Lancaster County, Pa. The founders, largely of Anabaptist background (probably mainly Mennonite), were deeply influenced by the pietistic revival movements of the period which emphasized a crisis conversion experience, with an attendant belief in a personal, "heartfelt" relationship to God.
		The strong missions orientation of the Brethren in Christ Church was illustrated by the distribution of the Cooperative Ministries budget in 1986; the Board for World Missions received nearly 50 percent of the budget.
		The membership of the Canadian Conference Brethren in Christ Church in 1996 was approximately 3,219.

		BELIEVING the name of "Brethren" to belong equally to all children of God, we disclaim the title of "The Brethren" as distinctive; for we do not mean either to un-christianize others, or to forego our relationship with any member of the household of God (Eph.
		2:19); and all we mean by rejecting other names than Christians, brethren, believers, is, that we unite together solely in the Name of Christ, and as brethren who have boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood Jesus (Heb.
		From it we learn that man is utterly lost and ruined by nature and guilty by practice, unable to save himself; but that through the atoning work of Christ Jesus, and that alone, every believer born of God, has eternal life and is therefore forever secure (John 10:27-29).

	7. "THE LITTLE ECCLESIA IN POLAND" -- Brethren In Christ, by Alan Eyre
		Some Brethren in Christ, fleeing the massacres and savage treatment meted out to them in the Germanic lands and the Italian states, arrived in Poland in the 1540's, perhaps even earlier.
		Many of the Polish Brethren were highly talented individuals, some of them the cream of the 16th century intelligentsia, and among them were writers, hymn composers, and poets of the highest calibre.
		Alone among the churches of that age, the Brethren in Christ demolished and discarded the whole edifice and apparatus of substitutionary theology.

	BRETHREN
		It might be said generally that these Dunkers, or Brethren, are former German Reformed bodies which took their theology and much of their practice from the Pietists of the 17th and 18th centuries.
		Some of the Brethren distinctives are foot washing, plainness of dress and the disavowal of worldly fashions, head coverings on women, anointing the sick, eschewing worldly amusements, refusing to take oaths, pacifism and refusal to go to war.
		The Brethren emphasized the imminent coming of Christ for His own in the Rapture of the saints, though they did not fall into the error of setting dates.
