There was division in the group and one faction, led by John Smyth, united with the Mennonites, pursuing a vision of a peaceful international community. This union exacerbated divisions among the Mennonites and led to the breakup of the Mennonite alliance known as the "Pacified Brotherhood." James R. Coggins analyzes the story of Smyth's congregation as it wrestled with great theological questions of church and state, separation from the world, church polity, the role of women in the church, the meaning of the incarnation, the sovereignty of God alongside the free will of human beings, and the relationship of salvation, regeneration, and justification.

OUTLER PRIZE IN ECUMENICAL CHURCH HISTORY The Outler Prize was established to encourage the critical study of ecumenical church history, broadly conceived, and to facilitate the publication of such studies. "Ecumenical" is to be construed as chiefly concerned with the problems of Christian unity-and-disunity (doctrinal, cultural, institutional) in any period of church history; or with interactions between Christianity and other religious movements. Works of a partisan nature are excluded. The following categories are eligible: a. Studies, chiefly narrative and critical, of ecumenical church history dealing with historical controversies and divisions, or with notable instances of reconciliation and consensus. b. Analyses of church councils, dialogues, and debates, or interactions between Christianity and other religious traditions. c. Biographical studies of significant leaders, or of persons whose involvement in ecumenical dialogue and action was noteworthy. d. Critical editions (preferably annotated) of significant ecumenical documents. e. Bibliographical reviews and evaluations in major areas of ecumenical church history. f. Pioneering studies that advance scholarly knowledge and ecumenical understanding. The prize consists of an award of $1000 to the author and a possible grant of up to $3000 for publication (or in exceptional cases, for necessary expenses in the preparation of a book-length manu- script accepted for publication). The prize will be awarded annually, though no award will be made in any year when none of the manuscripts is adjudged to be outstanding. Complete manuscripts in final form must be received by William B. Miller, Secretary, American Society of Church History, 328 Deland Avenue, Indialantic, FL 32903, by 1 June. The prize will be announced at the annual meeting of the Society in December.

It is affiliated with the American Historical Association. Its purpose is to foster interest in the history of Christianity, and its interrelationship with its cultural context by encouraging research, writ- ing, and teaching in this discipline. The membership of the society consists of scholars, men and women, the majority of whom serve on faculties of colleges, universities, and seminaries. Others are archivists, clergy members, professional writers, and students, or simply those who have a serious interest in church history. The society is ecumenical in character, comprising members of various religious persua- sions. In addition to Church History, a journal published quarterly, the society holds an annual meeting in conjunction with the American Historical Associ- ation and a spring meeting on the campus of a host institution. The meeting programs and the journal provide opportunities for exploring a wide variety of subjects and the exchange of thought. Membership dues entitle one to receive the journal, with its informative articles and large book review section, and attend the meetings of the society. In order to interest younger scholars, particularly those of ethnic minori- ties, in the work of the society, the council has voted to offer a dues-free membership (up to two years) to all graduate students working in the area of church history at an accredited institution upon the approval of a professor who is also a member of the society.

Handy In the middle of the nineteenth century, a stable relationship between American religious organizations and the state was taken for granted. Here a preeminent scholar of American religious history shows what happened when that settled relationship was challenged. The decades from 1880 to 1920 were marked by an unprecedented influx of immigrants, increasing conflicts between public and private school systems, excitement over imperialism, the growth of progressivism in politics, the rise of the social gospel, and the impact of World War I. Providing an overview of how these developments affected church-state relationships, Robert Handy's work is fascinating as a view of this period and as a clue to the tensions in American church-state relations today.
