In 1868 he was chosen elder at a members' meeting conducted by [[Benzien, Karl (19th/20th century)|Karl Benzien]], a Baptist preacher; he was ordained 18 October 1869, by Oncken, who made the trip to Russia for the purpose at Unger's request. Under Unger's influence the Mennonite Brethren made [[Baptism|baptism]] by [[Immersion|immersion]] obligatory for their members, refusing to admit anyone to [[Communion|communion]] who had not thus been baptized. The entire period of his work was a stormy one. The opposing parties were very rigid toward each other. It was impossible to effect a union among the ministers.
