Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
I think for a while KMF wasn't allowed to take on any LC churches after the original split. Not sure where I got that information though. That was the agreement the original Keystone pastors made with LMC when they brokered the deal to withdraw. The other congregations that also wanted out of LMC t...

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
As I understand it the MB organisation is quite “flat” and congregations hold the power. I suspect institutions derived from the Kleine Gemeinde all have this model, because Holdemans are the same way. For whatever reason the old Swiss model did not prevail.

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
Okay, so maybe to complicate things, what is the difference between a fellowship and a conference? KMF was considered themselves a fellowship, but I never could see much difference between them and other sizable Mennonite churches.

Re: At the time of death?
A lady I work with told me she was present when her father passed. She felt something that she cannot put into words.
