	The Brethren Church (c) 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Brethren had been able to maintain their German subculture through the beginning of the 19th century, but increasingly the influence of American culture was felt on the brotherhood.
		These yearly gatherings of Brethren from throughout the country began in the mid-1700's and had served the dual role of maintaining fellowship among the scattered Brethren and developing unity on questions of faith and practice that were considered by the assembled Brethren.
		During the course of the 19th century the Brethren had to interact with American culture to an ever greater measure because the artificial barriers of a different language and insulated life on the frontier were steadily eroding.

	Brethren in America
		Brethren had settled in some of the most impoverished areas of a war ravaged Europe and the promise of cheap land in Pennsylvania and the freedom to worship as one chose seemed irresistible.
		When the Brethren arrived at Germantown with the hope of listening to his fiery sermons, only to realize that the news was false, they diverted their disappointment toward a positive conclusion by organizing the first Brethren congregation in America.
		As many Brethren were enticed to leave their congregations and join the cloistered dwellers, Maria Sauer also left husband and son in 1730 to enlist in Beissel's mystical undertaking.

	Brethren Church, The (Ashland, Ohio) (Brethren Ash) denomination updates from Becker Bible Studies Library
		The Brethren Church is committed to evangelism in the United States and over seas and remains faithful to their heritage of service to the needy of the world.
		The Brethren were differentiated by their practice of believer’s baptism which was by immersion and the three parts of the Lord’s Supper (feet washing, love feasts, and communion).
		The Progressive Brethren believed the brotherhood should make full use of practices such as Sunday Schools, higher education, evangelism, and spreading their mission to foreign lands to help spread their beliefs of the church, and they wanted to move into the mainstream of the American culture.

	Kierkegaard and Radical Discipleship 4 (Eller)
		In this country Saner lived among the Brethren, attended their services, built his Germantown home so that it could be used as a Brethren meeting house, allowed, if not encouraged, his son to join the church when he was sixteen, the normal age for baptism.
		Conestoga was the center from which the brotherhood grew; Germantown more a center of leadership Both Stoll and Longenecker were called to the ministry.
		The polemic of the Brethren, on the other hand, was directed primarily against the separatists on their left, thus pulling in the direction of greater form, greater order, and greater discipline.

		Two of the "burdensome" judaizing brethren accompanied Beissel on a visit to the other Baptist congregations early in 1725 and offended their hosts by refusing to eat pork, or in fact to partake of anything cooked in vessels that had formerly held unclean foods.
		Some of the brethren sought Beissel's prayers, when cited to appear before the authorities; and were so reassured by Beissel's words, "that God had given the heart of the authorities into his hand, and he had turned it as he pleased," that many willingly paid their fines.
		The single brethren and sisters, the solitaries, were mostly irresponsible, in that their thoughts were not on the affairs of this world; consequently they were apt to forget even to provide for their own sustenance.

	Brethern, Schwenkfelders and Other Plain People

	The Etownian - Elizabethtown College
		The first Brethren congregation in the U.S. was organized at Germantown, Pa., in 1723.

	A Treatment of the Basic Agreement Between Mack, Becker, and Beissel
		Brown sees the Brethren roots in radical Pietism not only in the relationship of Becker and Mack with Beissel, the subject of this paper, but also in the lax attitude of the Brethren toward Sunday worship and in the doctrine of restorationism held by the early brethren.
		The Brethren, in constituting their congregation, for the first few years of their existence, chose what was in Hochmann's mind the next best thing: continence in marriage {8}.
		Ultimately, the concern of the Brethren in their dealings with Hochmann and with Beissel was to uphold the sanctity of the Scriptures, and for this they are to be commended.

	Nonresistance to Peace
		At the 1780 Annual Meeting at Conestoga, Brethren were admonished not to pay the substitute fee to hire someone to serve in their place, for this was considered direct participation in the war effort.
		While it is true that the Church of the Brethren officially does not require nonresistance as a test for membership, some congregations still have such requirements and expectations of their members.
		It is time for the Brethren to once again "count well the cost" of biblical nonresistance with the tenacity and obedience displayed by those who laid the foundations of our church upon the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament.

	Pennsylvania Dutch Culture
		The epic of the settlement of America might not have occurred had not the Conestoga wagon been developed by the competent Dutch carpenters, smiths and wheelrights of Pennsylvania; for what the railroad coach or the freight car is to transportation today the Conestoga covered wagon was to pioneer America.
		These Conestoga Dutch needed such large wagons themselves, and then they developed for the use of pioneers going westward in America con- stantly larger and sturdier models of covered wagons, which came to he known the nation over as Conestoga wagons, (because of their use with a special breed of Conestoga horses).
		The Conestoga wagons had to carry their six or eight tons over untracked wilds and prairie, over corduroy forest trails and through creeks and rivers -in lands infested with hostile Indians compelling often (as all moviegoers know) the use of the wagon for a fort.
