Byerly, arrived in Philadelphia from Rotterdam on the ship "Louisa" Cravens vs.Lanahan Census of 1810 lists Joseph and his son John as still residing in Rockingham County. The name appears as "Bierer" suggesting the old German pronunciation was still strong. The Brethren were pacifists and consequently Joseph does not appear in military bounty or land records from the period (indeed there are instances where Byerlys were fined substantial sums for refusing to march). Nothing is known of Martha Byerly. If you have any information on Joseph and/or Martha Byerly, I'd really like to hear from you. Sources: Donald F.

Some of the Brethren are called The Old German Baptist Brethren. My question is would we consider them to be our Baptist cousins (as it were.) Though we obviously would differ theologically, they would be similar to a Mennonite, do they in a loose way come under the catagory Baptist/Anabaptist? posted document.write(timestamp(new Date(2004,8,13,22,32,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); September 13, 2004 10:32 PM Not in any loose way at all. The German Brethren were deeply influenced by Anabaptism and Pietism and in fact were known as Neue Täufer (New Baptists, as opposed to the "old" Anabaptists) in Germany. They often were known as Dunkers in the U.S.

    Extractions: What was so unique about the Anabaptists that the enemy of God tried to extinguish this fire of God? They had three unique beliefs, unique from the established churches but very biblical: Believer's Baptism The Anabaptists held that a person must first believe the gospel before he could be accepted into the Church with the sign of water baptism. This is in accordance with the teachings of their Lord Jesus who placed believing ahead of baptism (Mt 28:19 and Mk 16:16). Pacifism The Anabaptists held that one could not obtain or protect his rights by the use of force. This is in accordance with the teachings of their Lord Jesus who commanded his followers not to resist an evil man (Mt 5:39 and Mt 18:36).

    Extractions: Though the Brethren as a group have existed for nearly three hundred years, we subscribe to no formal "creed" or set of rules. We simply try to do what Jesus did. Jesus brought a message of life, love, and hope. But he offered much more than inspiring words: He understood that people's spiritual needs also include day-to-day human ones - food, health, rest, comfort, friendship, and unconditional acceptance. "I am the way," he told his followers. He showed them how to trust, how to care, and how to help.

    Extractions: The First Church of the Brethren has shown unusual growth and has provided exceptional leadership for both the district and the brotherhood. It has been a numerically large congregation. In 1935-1936, a special study committee of the congregation recommended a division to reduce its size. At the time the congregation had 946 members and was the largest in the denomination. During a difficult period of its church life, the First Church employed S. S. Blough, the former pastor of the Greencastle congregation, to provide pastoral leadership. On the recommendation of a committee chaired by John F. Sprenkel Jr., the congregation employed S. S. Blough on May 15, 1936. Bro. Blough had been called to the ministry in the Western District of Pennsylvania at the Walnut Grove congregation. He served the First Church until August 31, 1940.

Nevertheless, there were religious dissenters who lived their faith in spite of the threat of persecution. Some of these dissenters found refuge in the town of Schwarzenau, Germany. Among them was Alexander Mack, a miller who had been influenced by both Pietism and Anabaptism. In August 1708 five men and three women gathered at the Eder River in Schwarzenau for baptism, an illegal act since all had been baptized as infants. They understood this baptism as an outward symbol of their new faith and as a commitment to living that faith in community. An anonymous member of the group first baptized Mack. He, in turn, baptized the other seven. This new group simply called themselves “brethren.” Though the early Brethren shared many beliefs with other Protestants, a number of issues separated them from the state churches. Relying on the New Testament as their guide, these men and women believed that Jesus had intended for his followers a different kind of life—one based on peaceful action, plain and compassionate living, and a shared search for truth. They also shared their faith enthusiastically with others, sending evangelists to other parts of Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.

    Extractions: Christian History magazine I magine yourself in the imposing Grossm¼nster church in Zurich. This is a sanctuary in transition: the votive candles have been snuffed out, the frescoes painted over, and the wooden statues depicting saints and biblical figures removed. The expansive space echoes with the high-pitched voice of Huldrych Zwingli. In the language of the marketplace, he preaches directly from the text of the New Testament, moving verse by verse through each book, ignoring the centuries-old liturgical order of readings. He insists on the need for a biblical Christianity to complete the Reformation Luther has begun. The Reformation's most radical moment Several young men listen with particular intensity. These are George Blaurock, a striking, black-haired man of peasant stock, with no great education but great zeal for reform; the scholarly Felix Mantz, illegitimate son of a clergyman at the Grossm¼nster; and Conrad Grebel, a well-educated young aristocrat whose mangled hand—relic of a student brawl at Vienna —testifies to an impetuous nature. They share a hunger for reform and a respect for Zwingli, with whom they are studying the Bible in the original languages.
