Re: How could transitional Anabaptists stop being that way?
It is a phenomenon unique to Anabaptists that is worth discussing. It has almost nothing to do with spiritual renewal; a person who transitions from the Tobe Amish to Old Order Amish probably isn’t seeking spiritual renewal. Likewise, a person who goes from Groffdale -> Weaverland probably isn’t se...

Re: Coronavirus Outbreak
I understand that concern, but as the article mentions, they are looking at excess deaths, and in the beginning of the pandemic there was a noticeable amount of excess deaths. That is no longer happening. The way I am reading it is what I had talked about years ago. People dying WITH Covid were cou...

Re: US Supreme Court in 2023
Baltimore has some of the highest per-pupil spending on schools, and Maryland has strict gun laws. Apparently, neither of those things make much of a difference when it comes to violent crime. So your opinion is that the disparities exist because more black kids get arrested? How do you explain the...

Re: How "Anabaptist" are you?
There’s this line that goes like this: they drew a circle that kept me out, but I drew a circle that included them. And so it is with this question: which circle should I be using to determine where I belong?

Re: US Supreme Court in 2023
And that is one factor I shared. There are many others that can affect it. Again, many or arrested and sentenced by black officers, DAs and judges. I see it more of an inner city issue than a race issue. But racial disparities in criminal justice is not just an inner-city issue. It is present in su...

Re: Not just cocaine: Secret Service reveals another banned substance was found in Biden's White House
Are you a Christian? Why the vain imagination about any label of government? You have a wife and what - around 12 children. Prison newsletter ministry and this is what you find value in worth posting about? Thanks for your concern. As I Christian who lives in the United States, I can not help but m...

Re: Trusting God
I think one of the problems with keeping aware of current events and politics and other worldly activities is that these can be temptations to take on anxieties that can have negative impact on our spiritual life. Discussions that result from following these things very often involve getting us bel...

Re: Transitional Anabaptist churches
I’d love to see a study or something that would show the transitions in membership from ultra conservative to evangelical. Like what percentage of Mid Atlantic members are actually from the Horning church.
