Re: What the Mennonites got right
I think we do good at resisting divorce. We also do well with the headship covering.

Re: Ken Miller - http://millercase.org/
From a comment on one of the articles: We are about to commemorate Harriet Tubman on our $20 bill, for doing what was then known as kidnapping in the eyes of the federal government, while these heroes today are put behind bars for similar actions. - A. Gingerich. It is appalling how depraved this so...

Re: College Education: "us" versus "them"
We're having a winter Bible school, and the one preacher is focusing on creation principles. Last night he spoke about work. It was very obvious that in his mind work means manual labor. For instance, he belittled a man who made a statement about his hands not being made for manual labor. He even s...

Re: "gay Christian"
f you've been freed by the grace of God, I don't see what grounds you have to intentionally carry around labels of your sinful past. Do you believe sexual attraction is sinful if you don't seek it out and don't act on it? There are some gay Christians who have less of a sinful past than many straig...

Church Planting By Relocating Families
It is not uncommon for conservative Mennonite churches to send a handful of families to a new area in order to plant a church. I am planning to be moving in May/June as part of a church plant, and I would like this thread to be for ideas, advise, anecdotes, etc., not necessarily only for me, but for...

Re: Sitting at the feet of Jesus
Having a time of devotions alone. As opposed to doing good deeds. It will help keep our focus in the right direction.

Re: "gay Christian"
I'm not sure what descriptive term would be best, but I would not fault the idea behind the use of terms, at least in this case, and as far as I understand it. It's a bit like a former (missionary) co-worker of ours who would tell you that he was an alcoholic that no longer drinks. What he was ackn...
