Seems like a lovely and dedicated group as far as I can judge from the video, also the fact that converts are welcome is great. I'd love to give them a visit so let me know when they branch out into the Netherlands to head back for their roots in Menno Simons ;). I was told by one of the "Stri...

Re: Old Order River Brethren

Nice singing. We lived next door to an Old German Baptist lady for years. Does anyone know if or how the two groups are related? There are others here who are more qualified to answer but it is my understanding that while similar in some ways they are not related. The Old German Baptists have a Pie...

Re: Old Order River Brethren

Does OORB have multiple factions? Locally the "Horsts" and the "Stricklers". I think there may be another faction either in Lancaster Co or Iowa. Interestingly, although the two local groups divided years ago they still attend each others love feasts and have a joint funeral com...

Re: Old Order River Brethren

I'm amazed at the number of visitors from other conservative Anabaptist groups. Apparently this is the Sunday morning service of the love feast. I have been to the Saturday evening service but never to the (love feast) Sunday morning.The love feast is a time when a lot of visitors attend from other...

Re: Biblical Gender Identity

Two that come to mind 1Tim. 2:11-15 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the tr...

Re: Where Did They Go?

Is it possible to retain or regain the essential Anabaptist theology without returning to the Old Order? Good question that I would like to know the answer to. It seems the conservative end of the spectrum thinks it is not with the increased emphasis on regulation that appears to be happening acros...
