Choosing a Church! General Information BELIEVE Religious Information Source web-site Our List of 1,000 Religious Subjects E-mail The following chart attempts to group related "families" of Churches. This might help you narrow down the ones you want to consider. For example, a whole section of them are in a branch in the chart called "Arminian". If you go to the Arminian presentation in BELIEVE, and find that is not for you, then you will have eliminated a whole bunch of possibilities. If, instead, you DO have interest in Arminian theology, you have again narrowed it down. We hope to add "descriptions and commentary" to many of the entries in this chart. However, given the approach of BELIEVE, of NOT introducing bias, we are having trouble seeing how we will do this. For example, a commentary on one of the Churches below includes "very legalistic. SEPARATISTS!" in the text. We don't know whether those statements might be true or not about that Church, but they just sound rather biased to us! This chart is VERY general and minimal. There are literally tens of thousands of additional lines that could be included, for various unique Churches, like say, the Amana Colonies. MANY of those Churches seem to be hybrids where some local group has seen some value in each of two or more existing Denominations. So, there might be an "Evangelical Lutheran Episcopal Congregational Methodist Church", and it would be tough to even GUESS what they believed! You'd have to contact such a Church and request a Statement of Faith from them.

What Grace Brethren Churches Believe ... The Bible is the infallible Word of God, supernaturally inspired and preserved by God to be the only authority and standard for doctrine and practice. One true God exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and is the creator and sustainer of the Universe. The person Jesus Christ in the flesh is both God and man. He was virgin born, lived a sinless life, was crucified for our sins, conquered death and the grave through His bodily resurrection, ascended into heaven, and will come again for His own. The person of the Holy Spirit is God who indwells, baptizes, and seals all believers at the moment of their salvation and enables them to live a consistent, godly, separated life. Man was created in the image of God but subsequently fell into sin, resulting in spiritual death. Salvation is provided wholly by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

49. Brethren: A Precious Name the Brethren Church, the fellowship of grace brethren churches, (GraceBrethren churches are entirely congregational, and associating in fellowship http://www.brfwitness.org/Articles/2002v37n2.htm

Main News Views Links BRETHREN: A PRECIOUS NAME Editorial March/April, 2002 Volume 37, Number 2 Two years ago, a committee that was appointed by Annual Conference to review the structure of the General Board, decided to send out a questionnaire to church leaders across the denomination. Among the many questions on the survey, was one asking for their level of interest in changing the name of the Church of the Brethren. In all the responses, there were only a very few who marked that issue as being an item of major concern. We on the committee concluded that the matter of denominational name change, for all practical purposes, was a "nonissue." A few people have been trying to stir up interest in this item, but with limited success. During past Annual Conferences those persons have tried to collect possible new names to be used instead of "Church of the Brethren." One of their problems is that to date no suggestion for a new name has really caught on with wide acceptance. We should expect that some will try to keep this matter alive as we move toward the 300th Anniversary of our denomination in the year 2008. Don't be surprised if an even more concerted effort to do something about the name change, will unfold over the next few years. There would be a fairly major legal expense attached to changing the name of every congregation and agency of the church. Would this be a good use of the Lord's money? The name change issue could very well cause some people (and entire congregations) to leave the denomination. Do we want to see this happen? It may cause others to be so disappointed over the issue that their level of support will be diminished. Do we want giving to the church to decline?

BMH Historical Series BMH Books in keeping with its historical mandate to positively promote the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches, is pleased to offer these selected books concerning the Doctrines, Ordinances, Beliefs, and Practices of the Grace Brethren Churches. Reacquaint yourself with the heritage and history of the FGBC Fellowship. Finding Our Focus A History of the Grace Brethren Church Author: David R. Plaster, Th.D. In 1708, a group of only eight people, who were dissatisfied with the sterility and cold formality of the religious institutions of the period, gathered by the Eider River in Schwarzenau, Germany, for a baptismal service. From that rather inauspicious beginning, a movement began to which a number of "Brethren" groups today trace their origin, including the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches. In Conquering Frontiers , the late Dr. Homer A. Kent, Sr. documented the history of the Grace Brethren Fellowship from those days early in the 18th century up to 1958 and then, in a revision, up to 1972. The succeeding years witnessed significant changes in the Fellowship, and Dr. David R. Plaster, in Finding Our Focus has carried the history up to 1992 in some detail and, in a closing epilogue, mentions events and personalities up to 2003 that reflect the re-discoverd vision and mission of the FGBC.

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. As with the Amish and Mennonites, there is a general tendency for these European Brethren descendants to retain only the outward form of their past spirituality, and to be barren today of the new birth. MENNONITE BRETHREN . Anabaptists which trace their roots through the 16th century Reformation in Europe and beyond that to separatist Christian movements such as the Waldensians. Mennonite historian John Horsch made this connection: "As the author of the article 'Anabaptists' in the Encyclopedia Britannica points out, 'the continuity of a sect is to be traced in its principles.' Considered from this aspect, the continuity of the Waldensian denomination in the evangelical Anabaptists and Mennonites cannot be questioned. The two denominations represented a similar faith and practice. ... Indeed the rise of the Anabaptist movement is to be, at least indirectly, ascribed to Waldensian influences. Such is the opinion of a number of prominent historians, among them the late Professor Ernst Troeltsch of the University of Berlin, Germany" (

Friday, August 05, 2005 An In-Depth Look at Grace Brethren History Dr. David Plaster (left, red shirt), academic vice president for Grace College and Seminary, conducted a very informative and helpful tour of the Brethren history murals in the Quinter-Miller auditorium on the grounds of Camp Alexander Mack near Milford, Indiana. Plaster, who wrote the BMH Books classic history of the Grace Brethren Fellowship, "Finding Our Focus," took tour participants through a step-by-step explanation of the various mural panels up through the year 1882, which was the year of the "Holsinger split" from the Church of the Brethren. The tour bus then went further north on Indiana Rt. 15, to Arnold's Grove, the site of the Holsinger incident in which the Progressive Brethren broke away at a meeting attended by more than 16,000 delegates.
