Nerto writes, "Threads like this remind me of my wife's family gatherings. ...... (And speaking of the color of men's shirts, both of my grandpas only wore light blue shirts to services. White shirts were considered worldly, a mark of pride.)" White shirts worldly? I have no idea how that...

I prefer the term 'radically non-conformist to the world'.

Australia's church restrictions are over. So we are practising as before now.

When I read this post, I thought hmm...a more progressive mennonite bashing on ultra conservative and intermediate mennonites post. But then I also thought, Nationwide generally obeys the orders given to it by the government with regards covid-19 restrictions, even if we don't like them much. We gru...
