If I remember correctly, since the Mass is a “sacrifice” one cannot have a Mass without communion. Mennonites, or course, would totally reject that notion, as it is throughly unbiblical. Wait, which part is unbiblical? The Eucharist as a sacrifice or that you cannot have Mass (service?) without com...

Some groups make a big deal about it having to be "running water" as in a creek or stream. Others, not so much. This was in a farm pond. That actually shocks me a bit. If its gonna be outside, they want moving water. Fancy this, my wife remembers that her mom made a special dress for bapt...

... 3 questions...: Question #1: Are you still of the same mind as when you were received into the church by your baptism? Question #2: Are you still willing to receive and give counsel according to gospel order? Question #3: Are you living, as much as possible, in peace and union with your fellow ...

My congregation's Lovefeast weekend (an annual 2 day meeting each of our congregations holds, and which also encapsulates our communion service) is coming up in 3 weeks. Our practice is to send the deacons (and sometimes ministers with them) out in pairs to each home in the district on a Friday or S...

It is interesting at all the variations of this practice even within Anabaptism. And then there is the whole issue of whether this is a sacrament or an ordinance.
