107th Conservative Mennonite Conference
The CMC is meeting in Kidron, Ohio July 27 - 30. I plan to come to at least a few of the days - will I see any of you there?

Re: 107th Conservative Mennonite Conference
You do get around to a lot of conferences. (Good for you). Are there usually a significant amount of people from other groups there? I've never been to any specific group's conferences before other than the Beachy Youth Fellowships. I've actually been thinking about going to a couple days of the BMA Convention this year, but I was wondering if only BMA members usually attend that, and if it would be weird for a non-BMA person to be there.

It's the same weekend as the CMC conference, so I may go to one, or neither, but I couldn't go to both. The CMC conference is a lot closer, but I'm kind of curious to hear and see some BMA people.

Lots of non-BMA folks show up at BMA conventions. It wouldn't be weird at all.

Re: 107th Conservative Mennonite Conference
It's completely normal to go to a less conservative group's conference.
The opposite almost never happens. After all, why would anyone ever want to be more conservative than the bare minimum they have to be?

I believe there are several reasons why one might want to be more conservative "than they have to be," and there are many people who exercise that option!

Re: 107th Conservative Mennonite Conference
I'm just saying what I've observed. At Midwest Fellowship's, I didn't see BMA people. At Nationwide's, I didn't see less conservative people (other than seekers). At a Beachy conference, I didn't see any non-plain affiliated Anabaptists.

None of this applies to seekers since by definition we are people seeking something more conservative than our background. Apparently this phenomenon is so unusual there is a special term for us, "seekers". There is no special term for the far more common phenomenon of people either seeking to make their present setting less conservative, or else migrating to a less conservative setting.
