*I want to add that a friend and I are planning on writing a biography on Ammann so we have been collecting sources. We have some interesting materials, some of it never published before except in historical journals. For example, they have located the house that was very likely (although not proved yet from a title search on the property) the Ammann house in the village of Thal, above Erlenbach. It was torn down in 1956 and rebuilt, but a man over there doing research sent me a photo of the house before it was torn down. I have some photos of the area, and also some photos and video clips of Jakob's house in the Alsace. If you would like, I would be glad to share some of these things with you by email, if you take an interest in Ammann's life.

==Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite==
Hi. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ]] has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland [[Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge]]. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like [[Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic)]]. For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon]]. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --<font face="Old English Text MT">[[User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|Ser Amantio di Nicolao]]</font><sup>[[User_talk:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|''Che dicono a Signa?'']]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Ser Amantio di Nicolao|'''Lo dicono a Signa.''']]</sub> 00:43, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
== Please see my most recent edits to the Moravian Church article ==
:It would be best if you could sign on for an account and discuss changes that way. Anonymous editors are harder to maintain discussions. "Unity of Brothers" is better than "United Brethren," although essentially they are the same. However, "Unity of Brothers" puts more emphasis on the "Unity" (the organization) while "United Brethren" puts more emphasis on "brethren." So there is a difference. I have seen "United Brethren" used a few times, but most writers use "Unity of Brothers." That started a long time ago, and today's American English would probably better translate to something like "Community of brothers." Thanks for your efforts to improve Wikipedia. [[User:Mikeatnip|Mikeatnip]] ([[User talk:Mikeatnip#top|talk]]) 00:17, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
:Actually if you see my most recent edits I have restored "Unity of the Brethren". As you note, this emphasises the 'unity'. This translation is used in multiple sources, including official church websites. The Latin term is usually used first.

== Native American reconciliation section ==
This section really doesn't belong with the article, to be frankly honest. The group of "Amish" that was involved in this are a very, very tiny group of people that may have grown up Amish, but are not in the mainstream of Amish any more. Just because someone was born Amish does not make them "Amish" forever, if they change their way of life and thinking. Probably 99% of Amish know nothing about this supposed "reconciliation" and would not feel that these types of "reconciliation" meetings really accomplish anything tangible, for events that happened two centuries ago. I would like comments on the proposal to eliminate the section.

<small>By [[User:Lionelt|Lionelt]]</small>
Belated Happy Easter and Kalo Pascha! We're excited to announce the return of our newsletter ''Ichthus''! Getting this issue out was [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive980#Taking_a_position_on_whether_Billy_Graham%27s_death_was_a_%22profound_loss%22|touch-and-go]] for a while. Check out what's happening at the Project:
* There was a [[Template:Did you know nominations/Christ the Lord Is Risen Today|lively discussion]] about the Easter Did You Know nomination Christ the Lord is Risen Today
* [[Talk:Knights_of_Columbus#RfC_on_the_Lead_section|RFC at Knights of Columbus]] regarding a question about having Prop 8 in the lead
* In anticipation of being nominated for Featured article, Presbyterian Church in the United States of America was [[Wikipedia:Peer_review/Presbyterian_Church_in_the_United_States_of_America/archive1|put up for Peer Review]] by [[User:Ltwin|Ltwin]]
* The death of Billy Graham on February 21 was a profound loss for many. For the Wikipedia reaction see [[Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates/February_2018#[Posted]_Billy_Graham|this discussion]]. Graham received a blurb.
* And... Order of Friars Minor--nominated by [[User:Chicbyaccident|Chicbyaccident]]--is still [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Order_of_Friars_Minor/GA1&action=edit&preload=Template:GAN/preload&editintro=Template:GAN/editintro waiting for a GA reviewer]. Please help out if you can.

{{TFAIMAGE|StJohnsAshfield StainedGlass GoodShepherd-frame crop.jpg|Jesus of Nazareth}}
'''[[Jesus]]''' (7–2 BC to 30–33 AD) is the central figure of [[Christianity]], whom the teachings of most Christian denominations hold to be the [[Son of God]] and the awaited [[Messiah]] of the [[Old Testament]]. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that a [[historical Jesus]] existed, although there is little agreement on the reliability of the [[gospel|gospel narratives]] and how closely the biblical Jesus reflects the historical Jesus. Most scholars agree that Jesus was a Jewish preacher from Galilee, was baptized by [[John the Baptist]], and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman prefect, [[Pontius Pilate]]. Christians generally believe that Jesus was conceived by the [[Holy Spirit]], [[Virgin birth of Jesus|born of a virgin]], performed [[Miracles of Jesus|miracles]], founded the Church, [[Crucifixion of Jesus|died by crucifixion]] as a sacrifice to achieve [[Atonement in Christianity|atonement]], [[Resurrection of Jesus|rose from the dead]], and [[Ascension of Jesus|ascended]] into heaven, from which [[Second Coming|he will return]]. The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three Persons of a [[Divine Trinity]]. A few Christian groups reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural. [[Jesus in Islam|In Islam]], Jesus is considered one of God's important prophets and the Messiah. {{TFAFULL|Jesus}}
