The Harshmanites, or the Church of Jesus Christ, is a small Christian sect in Illinois, United States that believes in pacifism. A tenet of the church is that force should not be used, even in self-defense. ==Foundation== The church was founded in the late 1880s. The Reverend S.R. Harshman, who organized the church, had a dairy herd and ran a delivery wagon in Sullivan, Illinois to supply fresh milk for 5 cents a quart. Harshman was a Methodist minister, but did not believe the Methodist church was sufficiently pacifist. For this reason, he founded a separate church. One of the church's basic principles is to follow Christ's command to "love thy neighbor as thyself," which it interprets as prohibiting violence. 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「Harshmanites」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
