Re: Sattler College Turmoil
Men may call me a knave or a fool, a rascal, a scoundrel, and I am content; but they shall never by my consent call me reformed. Borrowed, in part, from John Wesley. Do we have your consent to call you "Saved" and "Regenerated"? Respectfully, in my view this is where reformed th...

I'm open to baptizing someone the same day, or take 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, whatever it takes to get a person ready for baptism.
I've never understood why churches feel a need to have a set period of time for baptism preparation such as, no shorter than _____ and not longer than ________.

Re: The Great Dechurching
Interesting take on why fewer and fewer Americans go to church. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/07/christian-church-communitiy-participation-drop/674843/ Nearly everyone I grew up with in my childhood church in Lincoln, Nebraska, is no longer Christian. That’s not unusual. Forty mill...

Re: Business opportunities serving low-tech Anabaptist groups
Anabaptists who don't use certain technologies present a unique set of business opportunities for those interested in meeting their resulting needs.

Re: Poll: Who will win 2024 Presidency?
I didn't vote in this poll/thread because I don't know who will win.
