Peace to you. First of all, this is not anti-Semitism/racism. The Bible itself does not teach racism. When the Bible speaks negatively about Jews, it refers to Jews who are not Christians, not ethnic Jews in general. After much research, I found out that according to the Bible, Israel is Babylon th...

I have long been under the impression that there have never been large numbers of Anabaptist Christians in the UK... Unless you count the Plymouth Brethren. Nothing against them, but while they would technically rebaptize anybody baptized as an infant and anybody who wasn't baptized by immersion, f...

In the first couple centuries of the church, they had the "rule of faith". (The "Apostles' Creed" is actually significantly newer - from the 400s, 500s, or so). There were plenty of other important things that they talked about, sometimes disagreeing, sometimes agreeing; but wit...

There are many things...from straight cuts to teetotaling to no ties to fundamentalist creeds, etc etc... do you think that any group of people are absolutely unchanged after 150 years?

I am not convinced that the movement in Anabaptist churches is primarily driven by "what we are allowed to do." That is a factor...however their are larger sociological and ecclesiological issues at play I think that are sector wide in the western/protestant churches that have folks lacki...

And distant leaders are likely to be perceived as illegitimate, since they have no relationship with the people they purport to lead. Unless hierarchy is built into your model of church, like the Anglicans, Catholics, Orthodox, Methodists, and some Anabaptists. In our circles, the Bishop is by once...

IIRC they have restrictions on employment that even Eastern does not have, right? Yeah, I couldn’t work as a nurse or any academics. This would effectively leave me with untrained manual labor. That won’t pay the bills unless I’m being given a generosity job. How long did you attend a Nationwide ch...
