Re: Prayer Requests & Personal Testimonies

Those of you who go back to the MennoDiscuss days will doubtless remember our dear sister Anabaptistenigma - one of the brightest minds and sincerest hearts to grace MD back in the day. Sadly, we have just learned that she has been diagnosed with stage-4 bile duct cancer metastasized around the liv...

Re: Catholic to Anabaptist

i’m hoping for more Catholic to Anabaptist examples. Contemporary or from history.
First person is great, like the OP example, STEPHEN RUSSELL. Not required.

Re: Catholic to Anabaptist

Whoever wrote this does not seem even to have looked at even a secular history book. I will use as an example my, now falling apart "The Reformation of the Sixteenth Century" by Roland Bainton. He would say that the Anabaptist movement was "The church withdrawn" . As to Munster ...

Re: House Speaker

i’m hopeful about House Speaker Johnson. It’s early to be certain. i’m not a fan of MTG. i’m not a fan of regular threats of gov shutdowns, with zero-hour agreements. not an honorable way to do things. the fact it’s become “routine” is distasteful. the money involved is distasteful. the bills includ...

Re: Catholic to Anabaptist

Funny. i suppose this earlier topic, link below, was a lot about, or all about, Catholic to Anabaptist (and Protestant) beliefs .. starting long before the 1500’s. Starting before LABELS were assigned. Video: A Lamp in the Dark https://forum.mennonet.com/viewtopic.php?t=3138 This topic is aimed at p...

Re: War in Gaza

The USA and other allies could easily unload aid at any one of Israel's 6 ports and it could be delivered to one or more of the closed border crossings in Gaza. I'm wondering why Netanyahu and company (the powers that be) don't open up these crossings? Just because Hamas won't agree to the terms fo...

Re: Catholic to Anabaptist

It would been impossible for Luther to run his "seminary" without Katerina Von Bora. She was an administrative genius. We have letters that open with "I am writing this letter because Katerina says I must.... i’m not an expert on them, but, there is something touching about their rel...

Re: Catholic to Anabaptist

I would not remember. Long time ago, but, yes there is a bit of irony there. If indeed they wound up there, they might have even let them open the reformation day service. i’m rusty, too. it was pretty dramatic. i think Katharine was a very hard worker. https://www.pbs.org/empires/martinluther/char...

Re: Catholic to Anabaptist

Actually one of my friends said he saw them at their Lutheran church. If that was the case, they would have been welcomed. ELCA? i imagine, yes. Lutherans have different synods, they vary, i’m not sure to what extent. Beings Martin Luther was a priest/monk who married a runaway nun .. one would gue...
