Caneyville Christian Community
The Caneyville Christian Community is an Anabaptist community living a plain conservative lifestyle, true to the vision of former Old Order Amish bishop Elmo Stoll. G.C. Waldrep classifies them as "Para-Amish". Among Anabaptists the community is often simply called "Caneyville".
== History ==
In 1990 the "Christian Communities" were founded in Cookeville, Tennessee by Elmo Stoll, a former bishop of the Old Order Amish in Aylmer, Ontario. Stoll's aim was to create a church mostly modeled on the Amish, but with community of goods and without the German language and other obstacles in order to help Christian seeker from a non-plain background to integrate into a very plain, low technology Christian life without materialism.〔G.C. Waldrep :"The New Order Amish And Para-Amish Groups: Spiritual Renewal Within Tradition." in Mennonite Quarterly Review 3 (2008), page 417.〕 He was successful and soon many people from Amish, Old Order Mennonite and German Baptist Brethren backgrounds, but also - as intended - "seekers"〔The term "seeker" was (and still is) used among conservative Anabaptists to define those who were "seeking" for a different church, often a more conservative one, and often by people from a non-Anabaptist background.〕 joined his community. In addition, the "Christian Communities" soon spread to other locations in the United States and Canada. Elmo Stoll was the charismatic leader of the communities who held them together.〔George Calvin Waldrep: ''The New Order Amish And Para-Amish Groups: Spiritual Renewal Within Tradition'', in The Mennonite Quarterly Review 82 (2008), page 417-419.〕
After Elmo Stoll's early death in 1998 disunion started among the "Christian Communities". Bryce Geiser, who has a German Baptist background, replaced Elmo Stoll as the leader of the "Christian Communities", but he could not hold together all the different people from different backgrounds. In 2001 the five congregations of the "Christian Communities" announced that they would disband the Cookeville community and the movement as a whole. That lead in the end to the disbanding of two of the five "Christian Communities", while two others joined the Noah Hoover Mennonites and one affiliated with an Amish group from Michigan.〔George Calvin Waldrep: ''The New Order Amish And Para-Amish Groups: Spiritual Renewal Within Tradition'', in The Mennonite Quarterly Review 82 (2008), page 420.〕
In 2004 Bryce Geiser, Andrew Hess and Aaron Stoll, a son of Elmo Stoll started anew and founded the Christian at Caneyville, Kentucky in order not to give up Elmo Stoll's vision.〔Donnermeyer, Joseph, and Cory Anderson: "The Growth of Amish and Plain Anabaptists in Kentucky." in Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies 2(2):215, page 231, 2014.〕
