Re: Pilgrim Mennonite Conference current events

I have no religious or personal problem with him, but is it really surprising that Pilgrim is not “holding together” as a group considering how much there actual existence all stems from Stephen being ordained bishop. I know the evolution of the Lebanon district “issues” and despite their validity ...

Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?

We have a variety of folks here that like to think through things and I hope this subject can be discussed in a mature manner and not get political more than it has to be.

Kensington is indeed pretty horrible, although there are some (liberal) Mennonite groups trying to engage in church planting and other social services efforts there, like an Everence branch, in partnership with the community clinic there that opened as a sort of "public space" (except pri...

Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists

I'm no graffiti artist, but couldn't graffiti be done with a paintbrush almost as easily? A side hustle I have is doing camo paint jobs on various objects and rattle cans are essential for that. Even an air brush would be inefficient. In fact Rustoleum has a line of flat colors specifically for cam...

I'd be happy if they just banned spray paint nationwide. I'm no graffiti artist, but couldn't graffiti be done with a paintbrush almost as easily?

Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists

I'd be happy if they just banned spray paint nationwide. The convenience it provides doesn't outweigh the enormous cost of cleaning up graffiti across the country. There are other ways to apply paint including spray guns that work much better anyway. That would take half the fun away from watching ...
