Excerpt from Disciplines of the United Brethren in Christ: In English, 1814 1841, In German, 1814 1819, 1841As the present plan contemplates giving the Disciplines rather than a comment on their contents, after a few explanations included in this preface, the Disciplines will follow without note or comment.The Discipline occupying the first place in the following pages, namely, the manuscript Discipline assigned to 1814, preserved, no one knows how long, at the Publishing House, belongs, beyond all doubt, to the relative position indicated. The first germs of Discipline were taken from the rules adopted in 1785 for Otter bein's church in Baltimore. In allusion to the part performed by the Conference of 1789, Mr. Spayth uses the following language: The disciplinary rules which governed the Church from the first conference held in Baltimore, 1789, up to 1815, the reader will not be displeased to find here in chief, although noticed before, comprising the Confession of Faith, same as in Discipline, and the following rules. Especially with reference to the Confession Of Faith the above statement seems to be in the main correct.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
