Multilingual households?

So, as you can see from my few posts so far, I come from a "diverse" background. (I'm just one of those half Punjabi/half Bavarian Anabaptist curious guys that everyone knows /s). Ever since my wife and I met, we wanted to give our children, if God blesses us with them, the chance to grow ...

Re: Chicken fried steak?

My maternal grandparents, who were from Bavaria, would call Chicken Fried Steak/ Country Fried Steak Schnitzel, which is really all that it is. A few years back I read some article that seemed to argue that my grandparents were correct, that the dish became popular originally in Texas from German im...

Re: A Conservative Anabaptist Catechism?

Hi S A, I'm not sure what you are looking for, or if it even exists as Anabaptistism is broad. You might start with Bender's "Anabaptist Vision" or Guy Hershberger's "Recovering the Anabaptist Vision" and "The Way of the Cross in Human Relations." [/quote] I'll look up...

Re: Emigration from the US

I also grew up spending time in two countries, I would spend the school year here in Wisconsin, and would spend summer vacation with my father's family in Pakistan. Until 6th grade it was the opposite, I would attend school in Pakistan then spend summer vacation in Wisconsin. Unfortunately, now that...

A Conservative Anabaptist Catechism?

I know that there are many different denominations in the Anabaptist tradition, so of course I'm not expecting something as universally authoritative as the current Catechism of the Catholic Church or the Catechism of the Council of Trent, but is there a Catechism or confession of faith that a major...
