Has anyone read the book The Anatomy of a Hybrid by Leonard Verduin? (This author was the translator for the Dutch to English translation of The Complete Writings of Menno Simons.) Anyway, if you have read it (or even just started it, like me), what are your thoughts or reactions? I read it several...

I pushed the field size to 24 characters. I hope this does not overfill the line. See if that helps. This is a good change, Robert. And I appreciate the way you've called attention to the affiliation issue. Thank you. And just a suggestion for those who want to share more and/or other information—t...

Let me be more frank. It's past time for more of us to disengage with Josh until he at least begins to address his misrepresentations and strawmanning.

Yes, unfortunately. It's past time for more of us to disengage.

These seem relevant in the context of lobbing criticism at people attending funerals. I was fairly critical in spring/early summer of last year of some people who chose to attend funerals or otherwise had various social gatherings where a member of their congregation died. I felt rather rebuked whe...

I will try to understand your position above and not put words in your mouth; here is what you seem to be saying: "It is mind-boggling to me that a normal funeral was held." "I'm confounded that precautions weren't taken at that funeral." "I am very disappointed and do not ...

You continue to miss the point of what I've been saying. I am therefore not interested in continuing the conversation, except to point out that not only have I been observing "the lived cultural experience," I've been experiencing it myself just as much as any other conservative Anabaptis...
