I'm not sure if we adopted one from another group or if we wrote it ourselves. I'm not a member at this time and I'm still trying to make a choice between my church and a more conservative one in the area.Heirbyadoption wrote: Might I ask who you're with? And is your Statement one that your group actually authored, rather than inherited like Dortrecht or Schleitheim?
And although I am attending a non-Mennonite church, that's very close to my understandings on most things. You can find it here:JimFoxvog wrote:As part of the Illinois Conference of MC-USA, we say The Confession of Faith in a Mennonite Perspective is our confession.

As it turns out, the cynical may be legitimately excused for thinking that we are not actually that serious about it. Well, I'll have you know, actually we are very serious about it, somber even, lending an air of great gravitas to our pronouncements and statements, formulated as they are in a spirit of solemn rectitude, marshaling all our scriptural support for a position that is beyond compromise, immutable as Holy writ itself, unassailable. Right up until we change our collective mind.ohio jones wrote:Here's the CMC Statement of Theology:
