Re: Where do you fit?

I was just glancing over the poll results. The results turned out a little different than I expected. At this point the results are like follows... Plain Anabaptists 28% Moderate Anabaptists 41% Theological Anabaptists 14% Sightseers 3% Unclassifiable 14% So at this point the board has a fairly str...

Re: Where do you fit?

I'm curious why you didn't vote #2. Most moderate conservatives wear plain suits and cape dresses. We think immodest cape dresses (something fairly common in moderate settings) are a ridiculous conundrum and most of us feel that plain suits are mighty close to being "costly array". We don...

Re: On the Outside ..

The truth of the matter is, evidence suggests that most people on here are uncomfortable discussing Scripture. Doesn't make them 'less' or 'worse' than anyone else. I can see how newbies would come to this conclusion. Unlike KingdomBuilder, I have many people I can discuss scripture with in person....

We were using the name first. The newcomers should be the ones to change, YES?
;)
Yes, if CMC doesn't like that we are using this name. I figure they could care less but I may be wrong.

Re: Where do you fit?

i believe, if CM's would disappear from MN, the central interest would disappear (the glue that holds the family together.) i have witnessed and experienced families "falling apart" after losing a central, loved and respected leader. this is sad. i wonder if Anabaptists, with importance o...

Re: REACH 2017

I wish either this or Rosedale's REACH would consider a name change. Your request is legitimate. However, there is so little overlap between the moderate conservatives and the theological conservatives, that most are not even aware of the other's programs. Because of this, I don't expect either to ...

Re: Where do you fit?

I voted #6. I would probably land in the category that Anderson calls "Intentionalist". Anderson has identified the following streams within the Anabaptist faith tradition. Most of these streams are here today primarily because of a strong ethnic tie, not because of some ideological tie. A...

Re: REACH 2017

My wife and I plan to attend. At the first two events in 2013 and 2015 there were many more people who wished to attend than what capacity allowed. So we decided to increase capacity in 2017 by changing venues. The 2017 venue can handle about 1000 more people. If we reach full capacity, this will pr...
