Re: What's the right answer for seekers?
Slight correction: one of the teachers is not technically MB, but was one of those NMB students at another Keystone urban school. :-) Overall, TOP's track record is pretty good. Families worried about "urban dangers" should be more concerned about rural redneck culture dangers plus the fa...

Re: What's the right answer for seekers?
In general, if you are interested in a Mennonite church, and are NMB, I would suggest that Keystone is a very good choice in general. J.M. I agree. Assuming you are not looking for a church that is free from things like materialism, an interest in professional sports, and gradual acculturation. My ...

Re: Why Don't Mennonite Men Hug?
Hugging is a relatively recent thing as part of a casual greeting. Tradition minded Mennonites are slower to absorb new outside cultural practices, and this is no exception. Yes! Plus, kissing is not a sign of affection or warmness. It is an act of obedience. Ultra conservative men typically don't ...

Why Don't Mennonite Men Hug?
So as an outsider, I have always been baffled that Mennonite men are willing to kiss another man on the mouth, but not give another man a hug. Here is my theory why. Several men in my congregation were discussing the history of the church, and it was mentioned that the church had only installed air ...

Re: Water From a Portable Rock?
This was from this past Sunday school lesson booklet (June 18th). We had the same exact theory brought up. I am inclined to go with the others as the rock was spiritual in the new testament and the rock in the old testament is something that I can not say for sure. open to interpretation

Re: What's the right answer for seekers?
Just to add on to Josh's comment, York County, PA has several different conservative anabaptist denominations within driving distance to Baltimore for work. Mid-ATL, Hope, Keystone, CCYandAC, Dunkards, and Conservative COB. Or you could move to the homeland (Lancaster) for even more variety.

Re: Seekers Gathering 2018?
You can count me in! As for content, I agree that it can't be on a PHD level (did anyone invite Cory Anderson yet?), but it can't be dumbed down to the point where the deeper meaning of the text is overlooked on critical issues. One area of discussion that I would love to have is how we can be a mor...

Hello Everyone, As I mentioned in my intro post, I am fairly new to the conservative mennonite sphere and am trying to gather as much info as possible specifically on conservative churches in my area. My local congregation has been extremely helpful providing detailed information, but I would like t...
