	About the Dunkers
		The Old German Baptist Brethren (Dunkers) ministers “qualify” baptismal candidates (either in the meetinghouse or by the waterside) by asking them if they will abide by the guidelines of Matthew 18 in regard to relationships between church members.
		Since baptism is a rite symbolizing the death of Christ as well as the death of the believer to his or her old way of life, the baptismal candidate is baptized forwards because Christ bowed his head in death.
		Alexander Mack (1679-1735), 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.
