Amish Mennonites came into existence through reform movements among American Amish churches in the late 19th and early 20th century. The Amish churches had originated in the late 17th century through Berner Oberländer converts to the Swiss Brethren/Mennonite churches of Southern Germany, eastern France, and Switzerland. ==Early conferences== From 1862 to 1878, annual conferences were held among the Amish. The conferences produced a number of polarized groups, with two primary divisions: the Old Order Amish and the Amish Mennonites. The Amish Mennonites formed regional conferences in the late 1880s after the division. During the early 20th century, most of these original Amish Mennonite groups merged with regional Mennonite conferences and lost their Amish identity.〔Lehman 1998〕 *The Indiana-Michigan Amish Mennonite Conference *The Western District Amish Mennonite Conference *The Eastern Amish Mennonite Conference *The Stuckey Amish (Mennonites) of Illinois *The Leatherville Amish Mennonites of Missouri *The Egli Amish also known as the Égly Amish (Amish Mennonites) were organized as the Defenseless Mennonite Church in 1865–1866. They adopted the name Evangelical Mennonite Church in 1949. While Evangelical Mennonite Churches currently exist, in 2003, a broader group of Mennonites became the Fellowship of Evangelical Churches. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amish Mennonite」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
