That means the next four years will mostly be a caretaker government run by either Biden's executive branch appointments (and we already know who they are) or Trump's executive branch appointments (who we do not yet know). Most everything else will just be for show. Congress will mostly be in charg...

Another reason I think that Trump amazingly has a shot at winning is just how badly Biden repeatedly shows his age. It is embarrassing that the most prominent nation on earth has a president that reads out loud what are supposed to be cues from the teleprompter with a blank stare that makes it appea...

The Hill: If Trump is Convicted, What Happens Next?

This writer basically says this would normally be a case where you might get probation rather than jail time, but that anything is possible. Trump potentially violating gag orders isn't helping him any.

And distant leaders are likely to be perceived as illegitimate, since they have no relationship with the people they purport to lead. I suppose it really depends on what the role of a bishop is.

But I'm still curious whether the poll reflects people's feelings about their choice of President, or whether some people voted for who they think will win, even if that is their least favorite candid...

I'm curious what people see as the pros and cons of a larger versus smaller conference. Also it seems to me that the more relevant metric is total number of members in the conference, rather than total number of churches. An ordained man from the "Southern District" of Pilgrim told me he ...

I'm impressed. I think it is a good thing in a number of different ways, and I'd like to see similar efforts in other networks of churches.

I think that is correct. I heard that they decided they didn't want to do the normal thing of a Mennonite conference becoming a humongous, unwieldy organization, that places its own dealerships in every Anabaptist community. I understood they are going to divide regionally. Hats off to them! That i...

I heard the other day that Pilgrim Mennonite Conference may soon be disintegrating into several different groups and that their next annual conference will be their last one. Does anyone know whether this is in fact the case?
