List of conservative and moderate churches
Posted: Wed May 24, 2017 8:38 pm
I think it would be good to hash out a list of conferences (just a plain simple list) of where they stand overall in the realms of liberal vs. conservative. Some threads have them well defined, however other subject matters are not clear. If you can contribute to this list in replies I'd appreciate it. I REALLY think this would help newbies who are clueless to menno conferences. Also I'm really trying to get a list together (still) and publish.
