Re: Trump Convicted
I think it might be worthy to note again that the jury did not need to determine whether Trump is getting fair treatment as compared with others who do similar crimes. All they needed to do was determine innocent or guilty. The same will be true with Hunter Biden. I'm curious though whether there ar...

Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?
I know Anabaptism is 500 years old, and I'll admit I probably know more about its roots than the state of every church that claims the anabaptist tradition and legacy, but... emphasizing "being born again" seems like the ONE disagreement that led to all other differences between the anaba...

Re: Trump Convicted
I think it is possible for a trial to be politically motivated, and yet it still be a fair trial in terms of how the case was tried and whether a person is guilty of said crimes. For example, a Libertarian, may bring a case against either a Republican or a Democrat, that he wouldn't bring against on...

Re: Revival Meetings in Evangelical/Mainline Anabaptist
For myself I think I understood things well enough by age 13-14 that a commitment to follow Christ would have done me a lot of good. Beachy's and some other CA churches encourage youth to a make a commitment at age 12-14, but let them start following Jesus for awhile before going through instructio...

Re: Revival Meetings in Evangelical/Mainline Anabaptist
I am not convinced that the Mennonite church as a whole gained more from the revivalist movement than they lost. Melvin Lehman talks about the spiritual mediocrity that was prevalent in Chambersburg in his youth. Some people began praying that God would send a man who could arouse them from their l...

Re: Revival Meetings in Evangelical/Mainline Anabaptist
When I went to an Ohio Conference/MC USA (now FEC) church back in the early 2010s, I never heard anything about revival meetings. I think they were extinct by that point. According to a history written of Anabaptists in the area, they were in full swing in the 1950s, tents and all. The reluctant on...

Taiping Rebellion
How much of China's official wariness of Christianity do you think is the result of the Taiping Rebellion and its leader's association with a version of Christianity? Taiping Rebellion, radical political and religious upheaval that was probably the most important event in China in the 19th century. ...
