It is a recently organized (or maybe still being organized) group of some what more progressive Beachy Amish Mennonite congregations. I don't know how many congregations are currently associated with it, but as I understand, they are located in a number of different states (PA, OH, IN). This is about all I know.

Maybe I have some wires crossed, but didn't a few BMA groups go off on their own? Is this the same movement?

No, these are former Beachy folks who could no longer vote at the Beachy minister's meetings because they allowed their members to regularly listen to radio broadcasts.

Scroll down to see list of congregations.

They are much like BMA but have a stronger Amish-Mennonite flavor.

Okay, I obviously confused them with something else.

Most churches in my conference do not either, and we would be in the "Moderate Conservative" camp.
