Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Disciplines of the United Brethren in Christ: In English, 1814 1841; In German, 1814 1819, 1841 The republication of the early Disciplines of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ has long been regarded not only as desirable, but as necessary. Of the edition of the Discipline issued after the first General Conference, convened in 1815, but a single copy is known to be extant. An earlier Discipline, assigned to the year 1814, is extant in a single manuscript copy. Other Disciplines are getting to be almost equally rare. Fortunately, with the exception of a few mutilated phages in the Discipline of 1815 and the absence of a number of the pages of the Discipline of 1829, the entire list of Disciplines is yet preserved intact at the Publishing House. The Historical Society, founded in 1885, has awakened a new and special interest in the early archives of the Church. The fit thing would have been for the Historical Society to have begun a series of Historical Society publications. But in the absence of special funds for this purpose, the most that the Historical Society could do was to enlist itself on the editorial side of the work and leave the publishing to the Publishing House, trusting that the interest in the volumes published will lead to the reimbursing of the House for all money expended. A second volume, consisting of the General and Annual Conference minutes up to 1830 or 1833, has already been arranged for. Other volumes should follow later. The present volume is not a history of the Disciplines, but a publication of the Disciplines themselves down to the year 1841. As the Church began among the Germans and then passed over prevailingly to the English side, the German form in the earlier Disciplines requires special attention, while in the later Disciplines the English form holds the more important place. At a session of the Board of Managers of the Historical Society the writer was asked to take editorial charge of the two volumes proposed, and to call to his assistance what help might be necessary.
