1) 3rd Way: self identity- key is adult believers baptism
Separate from the world- protestants sought protection from governments
Linking baptism to tax records linked other christians to the world
Believed they were closest to early christian church
Brethren: added ‘dedication’ for infants- not a baptism, but religious event for babies
3) read as bedtime stories
Amish use on daily basis
Hymnal based on stories here
Mennonites: had lost its importance but it’s becoming important again
Actively sought to use it again
Brethren: not used
World is dangerous place where bad things happen: be separate
When threatened for faith-don’t resist, martyr yourself
5)French & Indian War: British vs French
British needs at first filled by volunteers
Eventually needed to raise militia: pacifists in spotlight for saying no
Braddock needs men and supplies
Amish and brethren just ignore calls to serve
Mennonites ask for alternate service: drive wagons
“English” get pissed- start of distinction between anabaptists and others
American Revolution: silent loyalists
With us or against us-neutrality not permitted
Contrast with neighbors
After war us gov requires loyalty oath: refuse & lose civic rights
End of assimilation- separation
