Is "Liberal Anabaptist" perhaps the definition of Oxymoron? Unless one confines the search to varying degrees of perceived apostasy within the legalistic wing of the church?

Taking offense because a political leader does not conduct himself or herself according to proper Christian standards betrays a lack of understanding of the appropriate application of separation of Church and State, i.e., two Kingdom Theology.

But mostly the post was facetious. I am as cynical about CMC as any other group, but then I am not a Miller or Showalter nor do I live in Ohio, that Mennonite Mecca.

I should confess to a bit of uncertainty regarding this issue, which might be seen as a caveat designed to preemptively counter cries of heretic. Perhaps this wobbliness results partially from the direction of CMC, or maybe more accurately the destination CMC has arrived at regarding the covering. W...
