Extractions: Political and Religious Climate The Huguenots were French Protestants who were members of the Reformed Church established in France by John Calvin in about 1555, and who, due to religious persecution, were forced to flee France to other countries in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Edict of Nantes, signed by Henry IV in April, 1598, ended the Wars of Religion, and allowed the Huguenots some religious freedoms, including free exercise of their religion in 20 specified towns of France. The Revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Louis XIV in October, 1685, began anew persecution of the Huguenots, and hundreds of thousands of Huguenots fled France to other countries. The Promulgation of the Edict of Toleration in November, 1787, partially restored the civil and religious rights of Huguenots in France. Since the Huguenots of France were in large part artisans, craftsmen, and professional people, they were usually well-received in the countries to which they fled for refuge when religious discrimination or overt persecution caused them to leave France. Most of them went initially to Germany, the Netherlands, and England, although some found their way eventually to places as remote as South Africa. Considerable numbers of Huguenots migrated to British North America, especially to the Carolinas, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New York. Their character and talents in the arts, sciences, and industry were such that they are generally felt to have been a substantial loss to the French society from which they had been forced to withdraw, and a corresponding gain to the communities and nations into which they settled.

Early in the 20th century some members began to feel that there was a drift away from apostolic standards. Because of this, a small group of conservatives withdrew from the Church of the Brethren and formed the Dunkard Brethren Church in . The name Dunkard or Dunker is derived from the German word tunken , meaning "to dip". This emphasizes the method of immersion observed by all of the various branches of Schwarzenau Brethren - trine immersion. A believer is immersed three times, once in the name of the Father, once in the name of the Son, and once in the name of the Holy Spirit. Some of the Dunkard Brethren exhibit the plainness of dress associated with the "Old Order" Brethren and Mennonites The Dunkard Brethren Church has 25 congregations in the United States with approximately 900 members.

http://homepage.interaccess.com/~nealu/shandrew.htm

Extractions: Andrew Shuck born ca. 1733 Germany or possibly Holland. Family legend that he came from the Rhine area of Germany via port of Rotterdam. Immigrated to US but date and ports of departure and entry not known. Early migration path is not known. Known to have lived in the Shepherdstown area (now Jefferson County, West Virginia) from 1760 to 1783. In 1760, Andrew would have been about age 27-30 with one or two infant children (Hannah and Mathias). With remarkable consistency for the time, most records spell the family surname "Shuck", particularly after 1850. Some occasional, mostly early spelling variations found are: Shoc, Shuc, Shucks, Shough. "Shock" has been found in a secondary publication. Possibly in New Jersey by 1759. Possibly associated with German or Dutch (Low Dutch) communities at Somerset Co., New Jersey; Bergen Co., New Jersey; Conewago, York (now Adams) Co., Pennsylvania; or Berks Co., Pennsylvania. The family migrated to Pack Horse Ford, Frederick Co., Virginia (see geography discussion below) about 1760 where they lived until after the Revolutionary War (1775-1783). This is the first location where we have documentation. "Andrew Shoc" and "Mattis Shuc" signed ca. 1783 as "intend frinds" a petition by the Low Dutch Company to the Continental Contress asking for a grant of a tract of land in Kentucky. The petition was not dated, but it was reported by a committee of the Continental Congress on September 27, 1783 where it was denied. Andrew Shuck's last personal property tax record in Berkeley Co. (formerly part of Frederick Co. until 1772) was in 1783.

Comments Suggestions about this site The Brethren Heritage Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving historical and current information concerning the various Brethren denominations which have a very rich heritage tracing back to 1708 in Schwarzenau, Germany. History Purpose Beginning in the late 1970s historian and genealogist Donald R. Bowman of Brookville, Ohio, a member of the Southern Ohio District Historical Committee of the Church of the Brethren, began accumulating many books, historical records and artifacts from the several Churches of the Brethren in the Miami Valley, Ohio. This collection was housed in the old Happy Corner Church of the Brethren and was opened to the public as "Brethren Heritage Center." By 1999 some old-order Brethren became concerned about preserving their books and records. One of them, Fred W. Benedict, who had earlier pledged his entire library for preservation, met Larry E. Heisey and Mark F. Steury, each of whom pledged to supplement a project from their own extensive collections. At the same time the Happy Corner project needed a new home. In August 2000, Benedict attended a meeting of the Historical Committee and on January 24, 2001, members from several old-order groups, totaling about 30 persons, met in Greenville and agreed to meet with the Historical Committee at Mill Ridge Village, Union, Ohio.

http://www.bibleviews.com/brethrenchurch.html

Extractions: This page is still under construction The Brethren Church began in Schwarzenau, Germany in 1708 primarily out of a desire for religious freedom and in reaction to the government controlled churches of the day. By the mid 1700's the Brethren Church had migrated to America in pursuit of that same religious freedom. The heritage of the Brethren church would be similar to that of other "Anabaptist" denominations such as the Mennonite, German Baptist Brethren, Church of the Brethren and Grace Brethren. The Brethren maintain that the entire Bible (Old Testament and New Testament) is the inspired Word of God and that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who gave His life as a sacrifice for our sins. We also believe that Jesus rose from the dead on the third day and that He has ascended into heaven where He intercedes on our behalf. Having ascended into heaven, Jesus sent His Holy Spirit to live in the hearts of His people as our comforter, counselor and friend. We believe that those who have acknowledged Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior will have the assurance of a home in heaven with Christ for all eternity. The Brethren Church seeks to live out their faith in Christ on a daily basis. Obedience to Christ is demonstrated through a commitment to a daily relationship with God and involvement in the ministries of the church. We believe that God empowers His people to this obedient service through the gifts of His Holy Spirit. Each person who believes in Christ is equipped by God to perform some meaningful function within the context of the Body of Christ.

The seminary became Manchester College when, in 1889, it was moved to North Manchester, Ind. In 1895, the campus was purchased by representatives of the Church of the Brethren who deeded it to four State Districts of the Church in 1902. The number of supporting districts increased until, by 1932, Manchester served the five-state area of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Mount Morris (Ill.) College, merged with Manchester College in 1932. Founded as a Methodist seminary in 1839, Mount Morris had been purchased by representatives of the Church of the Brethren in 1879 and operated under the name of the Rock River Seminary and College Institute until 1844 when the name was changed to Mount Morris College.

Extractions: Your Privacy Brethren Conferences Associations among the Brethren and understanding of Brethren heritage have been enhanced through several conferences conducted by Brethren Encyclopedia, Inc. Typical of these are a conference held in 1985 at the Pathway School in Covington, Ohio, focusing on the theme "Brethren Plain Dress" and another in 1986 at Ashland University on "Brethren in Mission". Three Brethren World Assemblies have been sponsored by Brethren Encyclopedia, one at Elizabethtown College in 1992 on the theme "Christ Is Lord: Affirming Our Faith" one at Bridgewater College in 1998 on the theme "Faith and Family: Challenges and Commitments", and another at Grace College in 2003 on the theme "Brethren Presence Around the World". The 1992 Assembly was also significant in that it celebrated the 250th anniversary of the first Big Meeting of the Brethren. A fourth Brethren World Assembly is being planned for 2008 at Schwarzenau, Germany, commemorating the tricentennial of the beginning of the Brethren movement. In addition to sharing historical facts, these conferences have served as fertile ground for a supportive fellowship developing among Brethren scholars and members of the Brethren bodies who share a common heritage with divergent practices of their faith.
