    Extractions: The sight of Mennonites coming out of their plain meetinghouse on Sunday, the glimpse of an Amish buggy on the road, or the spectacle of the "plain people" behind their stalls at Friday market have often startled travelers in southeastern Pennsylvania. Having no idea that such people existed, they feel that they have dropped back into an earlier century. The impression made by these sectarians is such a vivid one that it has given rise to one of the most widely spread misconceptions about the Pennsylvania Dutch, that one and all wear bonnets or broad-brim hats. At the very most only one out of ten Pennsylvania Dutchmen dresses "plain" ; the rest, usually "church people" or Moravians, look like the great mass of Americans elsewhere. The meetinghouses, with benches and whitewashed walls and a coal stove in the center, are severe and plain. The men sit on one side andthe women on the other; the older people sit in the front. The broad-brim hats are hung on pegs on the wall or on racks suspended above the benches from the ceiling. As there is a church attendance of almost 100 per cent, the meetinghouses are often large. A Mennonite has to be very sick to stay home from church. Even a baby is taken to church as soon as he is five weeks old. There is no organ or instrumental music of any kind, nor is there a choir. Instead there is hearty, full-voiced singing by the whole congregation.

    Extractions: North Newton, Kansas 67117 The early sixteenth century in Western Europe was a time of great and sudden changes. Virtually every aspect of life-politics, economics, social relations, intellectual thought, technology, and religion-was significantly altered as European civilization began the shift from a predominantly medieval to a predominantly modern world view. All of these changes had a direct impact on the birth, growth, and development of the sixteenth-century Anabaptist movement. Four primary groups of Anabaptists emerged in the sixteenth century. Although there were clear connections between the groups at various points, the differences are also striking. The Swiss Brethren grew out of the reformation led by Ulrich Zwingli in Zurich, Switzerland. The radical followers of Zwingli parted company with him in late 1523 over the issue of the pace of the reformation. After early-and unsuccessful-efforts to reform the state church, the radicals espoused the concept of a free church. The conflict with the state church focused almost immediately on the issue of baptism of infants. Because infant baptism was the act that demonstrated the unification of church and state, it was, in fact, a civil as well as a religious ceremony. When the brethren rejected infant baptism, insisting instead on baptizing only those who freely chose to commit themselves to the discipline and fellowship of the body of believers, they affirmed in a new (and for that time very radical) way the separation of church and state. The first adult baptisms took place on 21 January 1525, when Conrad Grebel baptized George Blaurock in the home of Felix Mantz.

    Extractions: @import url(/css/totals.css); Admissions Academics Athletics Alumni ... About Bethel College is affiliated with the Mennonite Church USA . The Mennonites trace their origins to Anabaptism, one of several Reformation movements in Switzerland and Holland during the early part of the 16th century. Anabaptists broke with both the Catholic church and the reform movements inspired by Luther and Calvin. The Anabaptists held that church membership should be a matter of adult decision, rather than infant baptism. Their view of the Bible led them to decide that they could not swear allegiance to any earthly ruler, or serve in an army. They were consequently seen as a threat by both Catholic and Reformed rulers, and heavily persecuted. Among the groups descended from the Anabaptists are the Hutterites, the Amish, and the Mennonites. The Mennonites are named after an early Dutch Anabaptist leader, Menno Simons. The two largest denominations of Mennonites in the United States are the Mennonite Church USA and the Mennonite Brethren . The Mennonite Church USA was formed by a recent merger of the Mennonite Church and the General Conference Mennonite Church. (Bethel College was formerly affiliated with the General Conference Mennonite Church.)

    Extractions: MENNONITES OF EUROPE By Harold S. Bender A. The Soil of the Mennonite Faith CHAPTER 1 The Beginning and Growth of the Christian Church Nineteen hundred years ago and more, One came to earth from the heavenly glory, the only begotten Son of the Father, full of grace and truth, Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world. He humbled Himself and took upon Himself the form of a servant, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. This same Jesus invited men to believe on Him, to learn of Him, and to follow Him. To as many as believed He gave the power to become the sons of God, and with these disciples and believers He established His church upon the rock, the church against which the gates of hell shall not prevail. To this church He gave a great commission, to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature, and to teach them to observe all things whatsoever He commanded. This church He endowed with the power of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, A.D. 30, in the city of Jerusalem, so that they were able to preach His Gospel with power unto the saving of countless thousands of men. We of today are the heirs of the faith and life of this church. Because these disciples of old and their successors to this day have carried the Gospel unto the uttermost parts of the earth and have built the church in every land, and have followed in the footsteps of Jesus and kept His commandments, we have entered into the kingdom of God, and have become disciples of Christ. The unbroken chain of faith down through the ages, the never-ceasing preaching of the Gospel, the devoted discipleship of Christians through the centuries, these things have brought us the Gospel which makes us joint heirs with Christ. Because of them we are Christians today. True, we have made our own choice, we have chosen t6 accept Christ as

60. Church Of God In Christ, Mennonite
    Also known as Holdeman mennonites. Emphasis on salvation and separation from the world.  
    http://bibleviews.com/holdeman.html
    
    Extractions: Church of God in Christ, Mennonite The Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, is a relatively small group among the various churches known by the Mennonite name. Our vision is to follow faithfully the teachings of Jesus Christ and His apostles in all matters of faith and practice. The faith as practiced by the Novatians, Donatists, Paulicians, Waldenses, and Albigenses, who were also at various times called Anabaptists, is our faith and practice today. Because of this standard, we are often looked upon as holding a peculiar and distinctive place apart from main-line Christianity. We certainly profess to be Christians in the essential meaning of the term (Acts 11:26), but are more commonly known as Mennonites. Among contemporary Mennonites we are often referred to as Holdeman Mennonites due to the leadership of the evangelist-reformer John Holdeman. Several major beliefs of the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, set it apart from other denominations. The foundation of our faith is personal salvation through the new birth. This experience involves faith in Jesus Christ as Savior, repentance, forsaking our sins, and a resulting change of life from sin to serving Christ. We believe the Bible teaches that Christians are to be a separate people, not conformed to the world about us in spirit (our attitude and outlook) and life-style. We believe in simplicity and modesty in clothing, homes, and all other personal possessions. In addition to simplicity in dress, we believe men should wear a beard, and Christian women should wear the devotional head-covering.
