Sommer, Elisabeth. "A Different Kind of Freedom? Order and Discipline among the Moravian Brethren in Germany and Salem, North Carolina 1771–1801." Church History 63, no. 2 (June 1994): 221–34. http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/3168589.

Abstract:
On 19 January 1774, Joseph Müller was expelled from the town of Salem, North Carolina for becoming engaged to Sarah Hauser without the permission of the Elders Conference. On 23 August 1775 Mattheus Weiβ was likewise expelled forwriting a “bad letter” to friends in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and on 4 November 1789, Jacob Bonn Jr., who hadbeen struggling with chronic debt, was expelled for refusing to sell his house and accept a steward for his finances. Theexpulsion of inhabitants for such offenses seems odd in a century labelled the “age of enlightenment.” It might well be viewed by good American constitutionalists as an unacceptable intrusion into the private lives of the individuals concerned. For the Moravian Brethren who built Salem on an ideal molded in Germany, the behavior of such offending Brethren represented a conflict between two different concepts of freedom: that of individual freedom, whichcame to be identified by both the European and American leadership of the Brethren as “American,” and that ofa spiritual freedom, which found expression in the submission to the good of the whole and obedience to Christ as literallord of the community. Historian A. G. Roeber has pointed out that many Germans were puzzled by “the American freedom” especially in the post-revolutionary years and did not always even agree among themselves over its precise meaning. Clearly, however, for many of them it represented a sharp departure from the more communal orientation of German society and government. Even the greater spiritual freedom offered by the lack of a state church was often viewed ambiguously. We can gain insight into the particular meaning of the conflict for the Brethren by first looking at the origins of the Moravian behavioral ideal, then at the way in which the dynamics of church/town discipline illustrate the tension between communal ideal and individual freedom, and finally by considering the specific impact of the translation of this ideal to an American setting.

Abstract:
The smallest, but in some ways the most influential, church to emerge from the Hussite Reformation was the Unity of the Brethren founded by Gregory the Patriarch in 1457. The Unity was a voluntary church that separated entirely from the established churches, and chose its own priests, published the first Protestant hymnal and catechism, and operated several schools. Soon after Martin Luther broke with Rome, the Brethren established cordial relations with Wittenberg and introduced their irenic and ecumenical theology to the Protestant Reformation. Over time, they gravitated more toward the Reformed tradition, and influenced Martin Bucer’s views on confirmation, church discipline, and the Eucharist. In many ways, the pacifist Brethren offered a middle way between the Magisterial Reformation and the Radical Reformation. Study of the Brethren complicates and enhances our understanding of the Protestant Reformation and the rise of religious toleration in Europe.

Abstract:
Around the turn of the twentieth century, there was a growing concern within the Church of Sweden that the church was, to a too large extent, managed by the clergy alone. In an attempt to give the laity a more active and influential role in the Church of Sweden, the Brethren of the Church was established in 1918. Since it was only possible for men to become members, the organization simultaneously addressed a different issue: the view that women had become a much too salient group in church life. This process was described by the Brethren and similar groups as a “feminization” of the church, a phrasing which later came to be used by historians and theologians to explain changes in Western Christianity in the nineteenth century. In other words, the Brethren considered questions of gender vital to their endeavor to create a church in which the laity held a more prominent position. This article analyzes how the perceived feminization and its assumed connection to secularization caused enhanced attempts to uphold and strengthen gender differentiation in the Church of Sweden in the early twentieth century. By analyzing an all-male lay organization, the importance of homosociality in the construction of Christian masculinities will also be discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract Members of Moravian “town and country” congregations in eighteenth-century America confronted particular challenges: unable or unwilling to separate themselves from “the world,” such Moravians were often looked at with suspicion by church authorities in settlement congregations such as Bethlehem. These ongoing tensions were exacerbated during the Revolutionary War, when the decisions of many Brethren—most visibly, William Henry of Lancaster—to engage in political activity seemed to confirm the suspicions that town and country congregations had admitted individuals to their fellowship who were too entangled in the world to devote themselves to spiritual matters. Yet it was these Brethren who, thanks to the very entanglements that dismayed church authorities, possessed the political influence to aid and protect the Moravian Church when it was threatened.

Abstract:
The Church's attitude to housing issues is, of necessity, complicated. At the most basic level, human beings need shelter in order to survive: they need protection from the weather, and from predators, and all human beings need to sleep securely for several hours every day. The Christian gospel enjoins Christ's followers to assist in meeting such human need: “in as much as ye did it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye did it unto me”.

Abstract:
Blessing Same-sex Couples in the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren. As part of the efforts to protect minorities, the issue of the social status of intimate relationship between two people of the same sex has come to the fore in recent years. This article examines how the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren (hereafter ECCB) deals with same-sex couples in its liturgical life. Because of the lack of relevant data, the presentation of the practice of blessing same-sex couples in the ECCB in this article is based on research. The research consists of two parts. The first one is a questionnaire survey examining how widespread the blessing of samesex couples in the Church is and what factors play a role. The second part, in the form of a case study, shows what a worship gathering on this occasion might look like in practice.

Abstract:
This article utilizes a narrative methodological research paradigm to explore perceived distinctions between the Old German Baptist Brethren (the main Old Order expression of the Schwarzenau Brethren) and other Plain groups. In this section (part 2 of the article) the authors explore four areas of specific distinction: (1) an array of “flat” and unusually participative church structures; (2) a particular understanding and exercise of hospitality; (3) a strong emphasis on the inner life and reflective practice; (4) a strong emphasis on particular understandings of unity and submission as essential ingredients in church life. All these, together with the three areas discussed in the first part of the article, combine to create a distinctive culture and an unusual expression of Plain spirituality and life practice.

Abstract:
Glasgow was the Scottish city in which the Open Brethren movement grew most profusely. During the First World War, significant sections of the leadership of their assemblies supported the British war effort. One individual who stood apart from this was the evangelist and homeopath, Hunter Beattie. He was the leading individual in an assembly in the east end who launched an occasional periodical in which he expounded his pacifist views. His publication was criticized in a Sunday newspaper, and his subsequent military hearing and criminal trial was covered by the newspaper. Other leading Glasgow Brethren publicly disassociated themselves from his position, which, in turn, led to criticism of them by some Brethren non-combatants. As well as giving an example of the treatment of conscientious objectors during the First World War, the paper examines the positions adopted towards war by both Beattie and his antagonists, illuminating aspects of the Brethren, their social class and relationships to society. It examines how some Brethren rejected a completely marginal status in church and society, but others saw the attraction of the margins.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter surveys, by way of important examples, the great plurality of German Pietism in various territories of the Holy Roman Empire and abroad, from the last third of the seventeenth to the last third of the eighteenth centuries. The focus is on the manifold relations between these different branches of Pietism and “awakened” individuals, movements, and undertakings associated with early evangelicalism in Britain and its colonies. Such relations came about either through migration, co-operations, or the cultivation of networks of correspondence and print exchange. Examples include theologians, reformers, groups, and projects connected with both Reformed and Lutheran state churches, such as the émigré pastor Theodorus Jacobus Frelinghuysen, who was directly involved in the Great Awakening, or the reception of Gerhard Tersteegen by German Pietists in the colonies but also the Wesley brothers. Special attention is paid to Halle Pietism and the Francke Foundation that had close ties with numerous reform and revival movements across the British Empire and (also by sending Heinrich Melchior Mühlenberg) played a key role in the organization of American Lutheranism. Among the examples of radical Pietism examined in this chapter are Labadism and the Pietist Baptist groups that sought refuge in Pennsylvania and founded the Ephrata community. The chapter concludes by turning to the question of how, given these many entanglements, German Pietists and their Anglophone brethren viewed each other and interpreted their religious identities.
