Re: "gay Christian"

HK has summarised my own position well; I bet we've read some of the same thinkers on the topic. I like a teleological approach to this topic.

What did Jesus have to say about parenting and child rearing?

Re: Hospitality and unfortunate reality

I'm wondering what parishes have "membership".. my roommate is becoming Catholic as is an old coworker. They are working towards being confirmed (is that the right term?) and then would be allowed to take the Eucharist (although one already takes it and apparently his priest doesn't care)....

Re: On the Outside ..

Those with personal+immediate interest in joining are often led away from the internet right away. (There's a thread for that.) For this reason, i see no real change on the horizon - for a "majority" CM presence. Which thread are you referring to, Temp? The idea of Conservative Anabaptist...

Re: Credible News Sources

Some Canadian sources of news I like are Ezra Levant, Mark Steyn, and the associated Rebel Media. It's biased but honest about its biases.

Re: Dr Ben Carson - Post 2016 Election

As pilgrims & strangers we do have to express our "brand" of Christianity includes that Christians don't kill their enemies - and there isn't any more wiggle room for people who claim to be Christians to find ways to justify killing than there is any room to justify an abortion of conv...

Re: Hospitality and unfortunate reality

I'm confused about what an adult's membership has to do with their parents. If someone wants to be a member of a CA church that is something they have to do for themselves, and things like regular church attendance etc would be required before being admitted to things like mutual aid (but certainly ...

Re: Christian Music

I picked up 3 tapes at the MCC for 25¢ - old acapella tapes.

I also noticed a lot of late 80s / early 90s musical recordings from the non plain Mennonite world. I'd never heard of any of them before.

I wonder how many of these singing groups, recordings etc will become lost to the sands of time.
