The latter merged with the Methodists to make the United Methodist Church. They also had both Pietist/Methodist and Mennonite roots (having been started by a Methodist evangelist and a Mennonite one working together). I know the BIC aren't related closely to the Church of the Brethren which had a different history but also had Pietist and Mennonite roots. But what about the Mennonite Brethren?

I'm not sure, though I know he has strong BIC ties. He is actually a member of the same congregation that I am: Grantham BIC Church (which is basically on the campus of Messiah College in Grantham, PA). Neither of us currently attend, though!
