147 Dunker Journal

I was surprised to come across a blog titled, Dunker Journal. It is sponsored by the Brethren Revival Fellowship (BRF), a renewal movement in the Church of the Brethren. "Dunker" was the slang for the German Baptists, who were also called Dunkards, Tunkers and Taufers. It comes from the three times, face-forward, in the water baptism, which remains the tradition today in the Church of the Brethren.
