Categories: Brethren Ministers

This category contains profiles of Church of the Brethren Ministers.

The Schwarzenau Brethren sect was founded in 1708 by Alexander Mack Sr (1679-1735) and others, influenced by Pietist, Mennonite and Anabaptist traditions. To gain religious freedom most church members (including Mack) migrated to America before 1730, and initially settled in southeastern Pennsylvania. The church grew rapidly in America, and adopted the name "German Baptist Brethren"; they were commonly referred to as "Dunkers" or "Dunkards." The church withstood a number of schism; its main branch adopted the name "Church of the Brethren" in 1908, the two hundreth anniversary of its foundation.
