Who are the Brethren in Christ?
|
The Brethren in Christ began in 1778 as a result of a religious revival among German Immigrants in southeastern Pennsylvania.
The Cross symbolizes our belief that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the savior of humanity. By His death and resurrection he made possible the forgiveness of sins and a restored relationship with God.
The Dove symbolizes our belief in the work of God's Spirit in a conversion experience. We emphasize the power that comes into a person's life with the filling of the Holy Spirit.
The Towel and Basin symbolize our belief that the highest expression of life in the Spirit is loving service to others. In the church, service is expressed in fellowship and personal concern for one another. In the world community our service is to share the good news of Jesus Christ, to help alleviate human suffering, and to live at peace with neighbors and all humankind. |
