The Fellowship of Evangelical Churches (FEC) is an evangelical body of Christians with a Mennonite heritage. Conference offices are located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Founded in 1865–66 as the "Defenseless Mennonite Church", the new group was often referred to as the "Egly Amish" (also "Egli Amish") during its early years. In 1949 the name of the conference was changed to the "Evangelical Mennonite Church" (not to be confused with the Evangelical Mennonite Conference). At the 2003 Annual Convention, delegates voted to change the Conference name from the "Evangelical Mennonite Church" to the "Fellowship of Evangelical Churches". The group has a convention each year. An affiliated church is always selected to host it. ==History== Several members of the Amish Mennonite Egly family immigrated to North America in the 19th century. Among them was Henry Egly (1824–1890). Henry Egly was deeply influenced by the revivalism in America, withdrew from the main body of Amish, and founded the ''Defenseless Mennonite Church'' in Berne, Adams County, Indiana, in 1865–66. This body was often referred to as the ''Egly Amish'', and is now the ''Evangelical Mennonite Church'' (or ''Evangelical Mennonite Church Conference''), the name adopted in 1949. Henry's son, Christian R. Egle,〔The family name is variously spelled as ''Egly'', ''Egle'', and ''Egli''.〕 also became a leader in the conference.
