Greetings!
Please include these announcements in your church bulletin or announcement list on September 8 and 15:
The Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College presents "Discovering Fianna Bucher Meyer" by Nancy L. Bieber, on Thurs., Sept. 19, 7:00 p.m., in the Bucher Meetinghouse. Meyer was an Elizabethtown College student (1907–1908) from a family of Brethren leaders and a victim of tuberculosis at age 28. She was also a grandmother of Nancy L. Bieber, who discovered her grandmother when she unearthed boxes of letters a century after Fianna's death. Bieber, a spiritual director, writer, and retired psychologist, is the author of Fianna's Story: A True Story of Love, Grief, and Faith (Masthof Press, 2020). Copies will be available for sale and signing after the lecture. For details about the talk, visit www.etown.edu/youngctr/events or call 717-361-1470

Anabaptist and Pietist Perspectives," on Sat., Sept. 21, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., in the Bucher Meetinghouse. Led by Tony Walsh, director of the Centre for the Study of Irish Protestantism at Maynooth University in Ireland, Sam Funkhouser, director of the Brethren & Mennonite Heritage Center in Harrisonburg, Virginia, and Jeff Bach, director of the Young Center emeritus, the symposium will provide an opportunity for members of various Brethren and Mennonite groups of Plain or mainline identity to discuss their concepts of church.
