Excerpt: ... chapter ii the separatists The first German emigration to America was of Separatists and the earliest emigrants were nearly all of this religious persuasion. The Separatists were of two sorts: those who separated themselves from the organized churches, the Lutheran and Reformed, and those who did not come out from any church, but formed groups or loosely cohering sects of their own. The latter kind were most commonly thrust out by persecution; the former, the "churchly Separatists," as they are called by Goebel in his "Geschichte des Christlichen Lebens," often left the Babylon of some established church from an exaggerated opinion of ecclesiastical corruption and their own superior righteousness. First of the Separatist emigration in point of time, number and importance were the Mennonites. These followers of Menno Simon had had surcease from severe persecution for more than a century when Penn made known among the Dutch Mennonites the plans for a colony of religious freedom. The Princes of the House of Orange, beginning with William the Silent, had found the "Weaponless Christians"--their chosen name--so peaceable, harmless and industrious that they had granted the sect a toleration expressly denied Anabaptists by the Peace of Westphalia. Thus Holland became the natural refuge of the Mennonites, and the centre of their church;--from that land went out help to the poor brethren in Germany; there were printed their Bibles and hymn books and Confession of Faith, and the ponderous history of their martyrs. In Germany they were settled in the Pfalz, invited thither by the elector, Karl Ludwig, in 1671; also in Elsass, reinforced by " the Switzers which were fled thither from Zurich."' These Anabaptists of the Palatinate were said to be...

Download or read book Palatines Liberty and Property written by A. G. Roeber and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 1998-05-08 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians usually look for the origins of American political culture among English-speaking people and British constitutional and legal sources. Yet German immigrants to the colonies also contributed to - and developed for themselves - an American political consciousness. In Palatines, Liberty, and Property A.G. Roeber focuses on this neglected subject and explains why so many Germans, when they faced critical choices in 1776, became active supporters of the patriot cause. Employing a variety of German-language sources, Roeber explores German conceptions of personal and public property in the context of cultural and religious beliefs, village life, and family concerns. He follows all the major German migration streams, beginning with the Palatines in New York and including Germans who settled in Pennsylvania, Virginia, South Carolina, and Georgia. Roeber's study of German-American ideas about liberty and property provides a unique perspective within a growing historiography on the transfer of culture and beliefs from Europe and Africa to America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German Church on the American Frontier: A Study in the Rise of Religion Among the Germans of the West, Based on the History of the Evangelischer Kirchenverein Des Westens (Evangelical Church Society of the West), 1840-1866 The story of the religious origins among the Germans in the West, however, is not so well known. Historical inter est has mainly centered about the German Churches in the East. Many of these originated in the Colonial Period and effected their accommodations to the life and mores of the New World, while participating at the same time in the rise Of the new republic on American soil. The story of the Ger man settlement in the East, therefore, belongs intrinsically to the history of the American people. It Should become increasingly apparent, however, that the German immi gration of the nineteenth century was in many respects as significant for the later development of the West as the pre-revolutionary immigration was important for the East. The varied socio-historical aspects of the Western devel opment Should be sufficiently attractive to invite serious study. Conditions prevailing in both Germany and America at the time favored the rise Of a Germanism which in the isolation of the Western frontier frequently sought to fur ther its cause independent not only of American influences but also of contacts with the Older German culture of the East. We are here dealing with the rise of a unique Ger man civilization which, sometimes divided against itself, did not begin to integrate with American culture until the national crisis of the Civil War.

Download or read book Pietism in Germany and North America 1680 1820 written by Hartmut Lehmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection explores different approaches to contextualizing and conceptualizing the history of Pietism, particularly Pietistic groups who migrated from central Europe to the British colonies in North America during the long eighteenth century. Emerging in German speaking lands during the seventeenth century, Pietism was closely related to Puritanism, sharing similar evangelical and heterogeneous characteristics. Dissatisfied with the established Lutheran and Reformed Churches, Pietists sought to revivify Christianity through godly living, biblical devotion, millennialism and the establishment of new forms of religious association. As Pietism represents a diverse set of impulses rather than a centrally organized movement, there were inevitably fundamental differences amongst Pietist groups, and these differences - and conflicts - were carried with those that emigrated to the New World. The importance of Pietism in shaping Protestant society and culture in Europe and North America has long been recognized, but as a topic of scholarly inquiry, it has until now received little interdisciplinary attention. Offering essays by leading scholars from a range of fields, this volume provides an interdisciplinary overview of the subject. Beginning with discussions about the definition of Pietism, the collection next looks at the social, political and cultural dimensions of Pietism in German-speaking Europe. This is then followed by a section investigating the attempts by German Pietists to establish new, religiously-based communities in North America. The collection concludes with discussions on new directions in Pietist research. Together these essays help situate Pietism in the broader Atlantic context, making an important contribution to understanding religious life in Europe and colonial North America during the eighteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume covers the results of the Study Process on the Role of German Protestant Work Overseas in Colonial Southern Africa. The Study Process is commissioned jointly by the successors to the organisations active at the time - German Protestant churches and mission societies - and the churches in South Africa and Namibia that can trace their origins to German mission work and diaspora services. The project is intended as a collaborative endeavour to come to terms with the colonial past and look critically at the history of all institutions involved. The contributions collected deal with diverse aspects of this history such as the theological underpinnings of colonialism, the daily life of German-speaking settlers in southern Africa in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the Herero and Nama genocide. They raise the question of how churches and mission societies contributed to constructing systems of racial segregation. Thus the Study Process is a joint attempt to confront the colonial legacy and to overcome the political and cultural categories of colonialism that continue to influence the way we think and act today.
