As I understand they are German Brethren. We have them here in this region. I can tell you Mennonite was the origin for Amish. The Amish broke away feeling that the Mennonite were becoming too liberal in their beliefs and practice. The Brethern have various orders as the Amish/Mennonite. I am not very familiar on their history of origin. ~pat(entwistle/gethen/hershberger) griffiths/jones~ > -----Original Message----- > From: jenjoet [mailto:jenjoet@rof.net] > Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 8:58 PM > To: JONES-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [Jones] Church of the Brethern > > > What religous is Church of the Brethern ?
