A true account from World War I. The young men were being drafted into the Army, even those who believed war was wrong. John Witmer was among them. At a training camp, he refused to compromise his convictions. Abused verbally and physically, John became weak and ill. Thirty-two days after entering camp, he died. But he had left an enduring testimony of true nonresistance.

The Reformers and Their Stepchildren
By Mark Roth on December 13, 2007 at 9:56 am
The stepchildren of the Reformation were called many things by the Reformers: Donatists, staff-carriers, heretics, sacramentarians, Wincklers, Anabaptists, communists, and agitators. The author devotes a chapter to each aspect of Anabaptist faith and life suggested by these terms of reproach.
The rift between them and the Reformers “was the result of a problem that perenially besets the Church of Christ, the problem of how to relate that Church to its environment.”
The Anabaptists receive sympathetic treatment by the author in part because “history has to a large extent demonstrated that they were in a large way right. Little by little, step by step, item by item, Protestantism has, at least in the New World, come to endorse the very emphases for which these men pioneered.”

Mirror of the Martyrs
By Mark Roth on December 11, 2007 at 10:55 am
Some four centuries ago, thousands of Christians died because they dared to refuse to join the state church in medieval Europe. Their reading of the Holy Bible and their consciences led them to believe that church membership should be a voluntary, adult decision.
These believers died public, tortured deaths as martyrs. Many modern-day Christians claim these persons of courage as their spiritual ancestors. Many of those scenes were etched on copper plates by Jan Luyken, A Dutch artist who worked in the late 1600s. Numerous of these copper plates still exist. Mirror of the Martyrs reproduces 30 of these etchings and tells the courageous stories of these people of faith.
