Pietism Studies Group, CFH at American Historical Association

I was pleased to take in two sessions at the American Historical Association annual meeting in Chicago a few weeks ago. I went specifically to attend the sessions organized by the Pietism Studies Group as well as the breakfast and morning session of the Conference on Faith and History. Among other folks I usually try to meet up with I finally met Philipp Gollner, a student of Mark Noll’s at Notre Dame. He’ll be helping out with a session for the next Conference on Faith and History biennial conference at Gordon College, which Devin Manzullo-Thomas is spearheading. We’ve entitled our session “Shifting Identities Among American Anabaptists .” The Pietism Studies Group took care of business items over lunch – the main initiative being the formation of a site on H-Net (Humanities and Social Sciences Online) specifically devoted to pietism. Look for H-Pietism to start up in the near future!
