| Bio notes | The Schwarzenau Brethren, or German Baptist Brethren, (called Dunkers, Dunkards, or Tunkers in the United States) were a product of the Radical Pietism movement of the 17th/18th centuries. They abandoned Reformed and Lutheren churches and established a new church in 1708 under the leadership of Alexander Mack. They were originally from Germany. From 1719-1733, most moved to America, primarily around the area of Germantown, Pennsylvania. In 1732, the Seventh Day Dunker offshoot settled at Ephrata, Pennsylvania, and in 1814 were incorporated as the Seventh Day German Baptist Church. |
