Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
This would be a good topic for conversation in its own right.I’d proffer that Conservative Mennonite culture is better for drawing man towards God and thus fulfilling one’s purpose qua man than is modern American culture, Honduran culture, etc.
