The primary thing that splintered Mennonites stemmed from adherence to
different confessions. This was inevitable due to their anti-creedal
stance. What separated the Brethren from the Mennonites was the mode of
baptism, sprinkling verses immersion. Anabaptism was, of course, a movement
that influenced both Mennonite and Brethren circles.

As far as the German Reformed church is concerned, read the history info
found on the following link to find a key ancestor of our past:
http://www.ub.org/about/history.html, specifically as it relates to William
Otterbein and Martin Boehm. Hope this helps!

In Christ,
Kenneth
