Engaged Organizations: Church of the Brethren

Title: Engaged Organizations: Church of the Brethren
Description: The Church of the Brethren is an organization that has its roots in Germany. Formed three centuries ago, the church continues to draw people who want to continue Christ's work of faithful and loving service. There is no formal "creed" or set of rules to follow. Their focus is on trying to emulate what Jesus did for the world.

Living a peaceful lifestyle and promoting peace among all people is a central tenet of the faith. When encountering conflicts such as warring nations, racial discord, theological disputes, personal disagreement, or mere misunderstanding, Brethren listen conscientiously, seek guidance in the scriptures, and work toward reconciliation.

Years ago, Brethren members were more easily recognizable due to their plain dress and reserved lifestyles. The church continues to maintain a sense of simplicity and modest living. However, Brethren members today live very much in the world, work in a broad range of occupations, and make use of the latest technology.; Church of the Brethren
