So far, everyone here who has posted is an active Anabaptist or interested in being one, other than you and Valerie.MaxPC wrote:KB and all: Let's refocus this thread on the original query regarding current Anabaptist practices only. We've had some excellent, positive and charitable input from active Anabaptists thus far ... any other views/sharing from active Anabaptists?
Judas Maccabeus is a member in a plain, conservative Mennonite church.
ken_sylvania is a plain, conservative Mennonite (I believe he is a member but not 100% sure)
Chris attends a plain, moderate-conservative Anabaptist church.
KingdomBuilder would be interested in an Anabaptist church, but none are near where he lives.
Sudsy attends a Mennonite Brethren church.
RZehr is a member in a plain, conservative Mennonite church.
appleman is a member in a plain, conservative Mennonite church.
Bootstrap was a member in a Mennonite church. He separated when that church accepted homosexuality and Bootstrap felt that was unscriptural. He fellowships elsewhere, but still embraces Anabaptist theology, particularly nonviolence, and chooses to be a good witness for that in his home church.
I myself attend Holdeman and am accepted on a track to baptism and membership there. I still have a good relationship with another conservative Mennonite church in the area and attend their youth group. I also fellowship with a small, home-based quasi-church group that embraces nonresistant, plain Anabaptist theology and practice.
Meanwhile:
MaxPC is a committed Catholic. Catholics are not Anabaptist.
Valerie seems to be supporting Eastern Orthodoxy, although to my knowledge she is not Eastern Orthodox nor attends at one. (Please correct me if I am wrong). Eastern Orthodoxy is not Anabaptism, and Pentecostalism is not Anabaptism either.
