Very true and I agree. But I think there is a time and place. One atheist I've known for five years wouldn't ever talk to me about God. But as I showed interest in him and that I cared about him he started confiding things he doesn't tell other people, like his suicidal thoughts and attempts, his d...

In that case, the next questions to put forth to FOTW are: #1. What is another denomination (like BMA, CMC, KMF, etc.), or a list of churches, where you would be comfortable letting any of their preachers come and preach at your church on a special evening type of service? #2.

I expect most voting Mennonites, vote Democrat. Wonder why Amish are so pro Trump & Mennonites left then? Do they support Pelosi too? I know Amish wish to see her leave- Because a President who supports family values, the one against abortions and sexual education, and less Government control i...

I am mostly just wondering if we as a people would be willing to forgo our feelings of security, and give up any ideas of "our church," might we be better off, and in regards to the op, more inviting to outsiders? The interesting thing is that "outsiders", seekers, or folks from...
