Yes, this is the case. It has been under discussion for some time. At my church this past Sunday, we were given a conference report on the "PMC Branching." There will now be 3 conferences - the Lancaster/Lebanon/central PA churches will still be named "Pilgrim Conference." The O...

I don't know what you mean by wildly varying, but as I said earlier, there needs to be parameters of course. I'd rather be in a church with considerably different practices, in which nearly everyone in the church respects each other, than in a church with very little difference in practice, but lit...

And neither have I ;-> It really does illustrate the limitations of AI. And my own limitations. The outline it generated match well with the Mennonites and Anabaptists I know best.

This is old news really. We’ve been talking about this for over a year.

Reminds me of a song I heard my patient listen to. Unfortunately, it’s historical. Hear the sound of a machine gun Hear it echo in the night Mortals firing rains the scene Scars the fields That once were green It's a stalemate at the front line Where the soldiers rest in mud Roads and houses All is ...

Historically Anabaptism predates the literalism of pre-millenialism, so it is fair to say there is a historical Anabaptist eschatology even if it no longer captures the current scope of belief. wife: it is so strange when moving to find that you are going from one eschatology (or lack thereof) to a...

This is what happens when churches allow musical instruments. They become long haired bedbound hippies.
