<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Gerhard Wieler: an early lay leader in the [[Mennonite Brethren Church|Mennonite Brethren (MB) Church]] in Russia; born in [[Chortitza Mennonite Settlement (Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Chortitza Mennonite settlement]], South Russia on 5 October 1833, the eldest of five children of Johann Wieler (1809–1894) and Anganeta (Braun) Wieler (1808–1864), and an older brother of [[Wieler, Johann (1839-1889)|Johann Wieler]] (for more information on Gerhard's family see additional information). Gerhard died in 1911 in [[Newton (Kansas, USA)|Newton]], Kansas, USA.<br />
<br />
Gerhard and his brother Johann had the best formal training of the early Mennonite Brethren and mastered the Russian language as well as German (Friesen, 236). He was baptized into the Mennonite Brethren church in the [[Molotschna Mennonite Settlement (Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Molotschna]] Mennonite settlement on 15 October 1861 and was active in St. Petersburg for some time, seeking to obtain recognition of the newly founded MB Church. For a while he was a teacher in Liebenau, Molotschna, but lost his position in 1861 because of his views. Because he baptized some native Russians he was imprisoned.<br />
<br />
After his release he returned to the [[Einlage Mennonite Brethren Church (Einlage, Chortitza Mennonite Settlement, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Einlage MB Church]] and baptized both [[Unger, Abraham (1825-1880)|Abraham Unger]] and Heinrich Neufeld, leaders of the MB church in Einlage. Upon his arrival in Einlage, Wieler promoted extreme views. He and others promoted the expression of joy in the newly found faith and peace by means of shouting, jumping, and the use of various musical instruments. He was opposed to the use of pictures and the printed devotional aids in use at that time by the Mennonites, written by Hofacker, Arndt, and others. [[Bekker, Benjamin (19th century)|Benjamin Bekker]] of the Molotschna settlement supported these views for a while. Wieler and Bekker as "apostles" used the ban arbitrarily, excommunicating even Wieler's father and brothers Johann and Franz. Gradually, as the more disciplined and saner element gained the upper hand, Wieler's and Bekker's influence waned. In 1867 Gerhard Wieler is supposed to have returned to the [[Chortitza Mennonite Church (Chortitza, Chortitza Mennonite Settlement, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Mennonite Church of Chortitza]] and later immigrated to North America in 1876, where he became a member of the[[Church of the United Brethren in Christ|United Brethren in Christ]]. Unfortunately all reports about him have come from his opponents and he has left no records to justify his actions.<br />
