The Brethren Heritage Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving historical and current information concerning the various Brethren bodies which have a rich heritage dating to 1708 in Schwarzenau, Germany.  Southwestern Ohio  was chosen for the location of the center due to the large number of Brethren living in the Miami Valley Region. The Brethren bodies involved with the Brethren Heritage Center are:  The Brethren Church, Church of the Brethren, Conservative Grace Brethren International, Dunkard Brethren, Fellowship of Grace Brethren, Old Brethren, Old Brethren German Baptist, and Old German Baptist.

300th Anniversary Events at

Tours to Germany for the Anniversary Year

Schwarzenau Celebration August 3, 2008

http://www.churchofthebrethrenanniversary.org/europeantours.html

The Brethren World Assembly is set to convene in August of 2008. This time it will take place in Schwarzenau, Germany, the location of the birth of the Brethren.  August 3, 2008 is the day set aside for commemorating the anniversary during this event. The World Assembly is a regular event that is sponsored by the Brethren Encyclopedia Board.

Several tours are being prepared by a number of individuals in conjunction with the World Assembly. The information below is what we currently know about tours and for your convenience if you would like to go. Because airlines generally don't release rates of fare until eleven months prior to flights, some of the hosts are not yet providing an estimated price. I am therefore not including any prices in the list at this time. In sharing this listing with you, please understand that we are not endorsing one tour over another, or implying that the Anniversary Committee is sponsoring any of these. This list is simply to provide important information that relates to the anniversary. If there are others out there who are planning tours, we would be glad to hear from you as well.
