Download or read book The Old German Baptist Brethren written by Charles D. Thompson Jr. and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since arriving nearly 250 years ago in Franklin County, Virginia, German Baptists have maintained their faith and farms by relying on their tightly knit community for spiritual and economic support. Today, with their land and livelihoods threatened by the encroachment of neighboring communities, the construction of a new highway, and competition from corporate megafarms, the German Baptists find themselves forced to adjust. Charles D. Thompson Jr.'s The Old German Baptist Brethren combines oral history with ethnography and archival research--as well as his own family ties to the Franklin County community--to tell the story of the Brethren's faith on the cusp of impending change. The book traces the transformation of their operations from frontier subsistence farms to cash-based enterprises, connecting this with the wider confluence of agriculture and faith in colonial America. Using extensive interviews, Thompson looks behind the scenes at how individuals interpret their own futures in farming, their hope for their faith, and how the failure of religiously motivated agriculture figures in the larger story of the American farmer.

Download or read book Spirits of Just Men written by Charles D. Thompson Jr. and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2011-04-20 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spirits of Just Men tells the story of moonshine in 1930s America, as seen through the remarkable location of Franklin County, Virginia, a place that many still refer to as the "moonshine capital of the world." Charles D. Thompson Jr. chronicles the Great Moonshine Conspiracy Trial of 1935, which made national news and exposed the far-reaching and pervasive tendrils of Appalachia's local moonshine economy. Thompson, whose ancestors were involved in the area's moonshine trade and trial as well as local law enforcement, uses the event as a stepping-off point to explore Blue Ridge Mountain culture, economy, and political engagement in the 1930s. Drawing from extensive oral histories and local archival material, he illustrates how the moonshine trade was a rational and savvy choice for struggling farmers and community members during the Great Depression. Local characters come alive through this richly colorful narrative, including the stories of Miss Ora Harrison, a key witness for the defense and an Episcopalian missionary to the region, and Elder Goode Hash, an itinerant Primitive Baptist preacher and juror in a related murder trial. Considering the complex interactions of religion, economics, local history, Appalachian culture, and immigration, Thompson's sensitive analysis examines the people and processes involved in turning a basic agricultural commodity into such a sought-after and essentially American spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Holsinger's History of the Tunkers and the Brethren Church: Embracing the Church of the Brethren, the Tunkers, the Seventh-Day German Baptist Church, the German Baptist Church, the Old German Baptists, and the Brethren ChurchForty-nve years ago I became a member of the Church of the Brethren as it was then known. Among those who did not belong to the same denomination, the members were called Dunkards, especially among those who were not friendly to their cause. Besides these names I knew no other. I was then in full harmony with the teachings of the church as far as I knew, with a few exceptions. I was told that the gospel of Christ was our only creed and discipline. My father was a minister in the church, and his father was a minister. Hence, I had every opportunity of knowing the customs and practices as well as the sentiments of the church, and can safely say that, taking all together, I was in harmony with the average membership. With the gospel peculiarities of the church I was in full sympathy. Among those may be enumerated Faith, Repent ance, Triune Immersion, Laying On of Hands, Feet-washing, Lord's Supper, Communion, Anointing, Salutation, Anti-war, Anti-slavery, Non swearing, Non-conformity from all sinful fashions and customs. I set out to serve the Lord in good faith.In a few things, however, I did not agree with the average member ship of that day. For instance, I never could see that education was a dangerous thing, and had a great thirsting for more of it. I always pre ferred to hear a man preach who knew more than myself, which did not require anything uncommon. I was never much afraid of Sunday-schools, although I never had attended a Sunday-school regularly. I believed in plainness of attire, but never accepted the uniformity theory. I worked along without jarring with the congregations in which I lived or the officers under whom I served for more than fifteen years.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
