| | Strat's Place - Daniel Rogov - In The Pennsylvania Way |
| | Amman, a bishop in the Swiss Mennonite church rejected any intellectual approach to religion and believed that the true way to know God was through extensive study of the Bible and deeply intimate religious experiences. | | | When the followers of Jacob Amman came to America in the early 18th century, they were seeking a place where they could practice their religion without being persecuted. | | | Conscientious objectors, who refused on religious grounds to serve in any army, they also held firmly to the belief that every community should be autonomous, neighbor helping neighbor and not relying on help from governmental agencies. |

| | Beyond reasonable doubt then, the Jacob Ammann of Erlenbach who was denounced in Oberhofen as an Anabaptist in 1680 is the son of Michael Ammann and Anna Rupp. | | | And, unless we postulate an intervening generation, their son is almost certainly the Jacob Ammann of Erlenbach who died as a Täuferlehrer outside the land and whose daughter requested state church baptism in Bern in 1730. | | | However, it does seem reasonable for the leader of the Emmental congregation to have ordained a new minister in the neighboring congregation to the south. |
