Re: Neanderthal, Bible & Young Earth

Rzehr, I think your question was addressed in Jack Cuozzo's book, Buried Alive . I believe it was published by Master Books. I used to have a copy in my library but have not seen it for a number of years. IIRC his hypothesis is that Neanderthal skulls look exactly like what you would expect in a ver...

Re: What Do You Listen To?

On shorter trips I have listened to The Insurgence Podcast or the Order of Man podcast. On longer trips I listen to audiobooks- I've listened to The Shack a number of times.

Re: CAM Molestation Issue

The public statement is now live. I am definitely following this with much interest. I find the prolonged silence on this quite disturbing but want to withhold judgment until I feel more confident that I have complete information.

It was my privilege, Neto. You have a lot of stories and insights into cross-cultural living that I hope I can learn from. And the breakfast was great, as well.

Re: New Birth Experiences

The Mennonite Christian Fellowship churches require prospective members of Old Order background to testify of having had a new birth experience before they accept them as members. This church apparently feels that there should be a definite new birth experience instead of slowly becoming a Christia...

Re: Today ...

Today our family begins a new adventure. Our year and a half in Mexico came to a close yesterday. Our church has lost all interest in continuing the mission we were sent to start and they have decided to end their involvement in it. We have passed through a lot of different emotions and are trying t...

Re: Best argument for Non-resistance

I imagine that when it is all said and done that my convictions of non-violence will be much stronger than when I was a Conservative Anabaptist. Why? Because I will have them because I love others, not because I fear God's, or the minister's, wrath. To me this is very important. I feel that this is...

Re: Sexual abuse in Churches

OK, I am definitely on board with reporting any criminal activity to law enforcement. My question is, what constitutes criminal sexual activity? Where can I find those guidelines clearly defined? Also, how do you respond to church officials who say that the results of turning an abuser over to the l...

Re: Sexual abuse in Churches

So exactly what should an ethnic church community report to government authorities? What should be handled in house and what should be turned over to the law of the land? Are there guidelines for that anywhere?

Re: S. Stutzman claims 67% of Anabaptist women have been sexually abused

I guess that is what I was trying to communicate without having to say it out loud. This is something for which it is impossible to get an accurate evidence-based count. But the 2 in 3 figures sounds about right for where I grew up. Our church took in a number of "refugees" from one of the...
