• W173896109 abstract "Abstract: This essay expands on Werner Packull's conclusion that was affiliated with the Brethren in Moravia, and that it was this group who commissioned him as an elder or messenger before late summer of 1528, when he arrived in Strasbourg. Against the critique of the Spiritualists, who insisted that the Anabaptists could not form a since they lacked the ecclesial marks of unity and apostolicity, the mother in Moravia claimed apostolic authority and tried to establish unity among the The essay suggests that Marpeck's life work as an Anabaptist leader should be understood as his involvement in the effort to build up something like a supralocal (and even supranational) spanning from the Alsace to Moravia. In sources from the 1540s and 1550s, this Anabaptist denomination appears under the appellation Fellows of the Covenant, a more appropriate phrase than the auxiliary term Marpeck Circle, which has become increasingly popular among historians of Marpeck. Most of the sources connected with Pilgram result from forms of communication beyond the local level of an individual Anabaptist congregation. This is the case not only with ecclesial circular letters, some of which are preserved in the sixteenth-century collection of Anabaptist sources known as the Kunstbuch, (1) but also with clandestine prints associated with Marpeck, and texts that circulated in manuscript form. (2) All these texts were produced to establish and to defend the identity of an extended Anabaptist community that was distinct not only from the majority religions, whether Catholic or Protestant, but also from competing groups like the Schwenckfelders or other Anabaptist groups like Hutterites, Swiss Brethren and Sabbatarians. This essay argues that Marpeck's activity as an Anabaptist leader--or, more precisely, the two documented phases of his activity from 1528 to 1532 and from 1540 to 1556--should be understood as part of a larger effort to establish an Anabaptist church initiated by the Anabaptist congregation in (Slavkov u Brna) in Moravia, also known as the Austerlitz Brethren, whose early history from 1528 to 1531 played an important role in the narrative of the Hutterite chronicles. (3) The goal of the Austerlitzers was nothing less than the transformation of an amorphous, widely scattered religious movement into a that extended across territorial boundaries. Beginning with Marpeck's arrival in Strasbourg as early as September in 1528, the Austerlitzers' effort appears to have been the first project of this kind in the history of Anabaptism, and of the evangelical movements in general. Describing the supracongregational Sitz im Leben in which the texts were produced as a denominational network may modify, to some extent, our interpretation of these sources. This essay suggests that may have been more sectarian than generally assumed by current scholarship, according to which he was seeking to reunite Anabaptists. (4) On the other hand, it ascribes to credit for playing an important role in shaping an ecclesiological model based on voluntarism, which in subsequent centuries would make Christianity compatible with a modern pluralistic society. AN ALTERNATIVE MODEL OF CHURCH By the end of the 1520s many of the scattered local Anabaptist groups appeared to be ephemeral phenomena that would soon disappear from the scene. The initial phase of spontaneous expansion of the baptizing movement had started in 1525. Within two or three years, the new baptism had spread to places all across the geographic region of the Upper and Middle German dialects: Switzerland, South and Central Germany, and Austria, including the Bohemian and Moravian border zones. In this early phase, believer's baptism was not closely connected with any clear ecclesiological concepts; indeed, some of the adherents of Hans Hut and some Anabaptist Spiritualists did not understand their baptisms to be associated in any way with the entry into a separate religious society. …" @default.
