Re: Revival Meetings in Evangelical/Mainline Anabaptist

Re: Marrying Someone With a Promiscuous Past

Therefore, it is not worth taking steps to mitigate a risk that is almost solely due to promiscuity. As far as girls marrying a guy with a promiscuous past… many (I’d say the majority) of girls in my church circles would be unwilling to do so. An interesting statement made by Josh caught my eye.

Re: MennoNet and Genealogy

It is interesting to me that there are numerous words in the PA Deutsch that are also in Yiddish. I am not sure which direction the ' contamination ' went but I am guessing it was Schwaben Deutsch words that were taken into the Yiddish. Yiddish is influenced by High German, not Schwaben Deutsch.

Re: Toronto area

Going to Toronto area a week from now. Any plain churches to recommend? Enos and Carolyn Miller at Tea-n-Bannock Restaurant used to meet in their restaurant for church. I’ve never been, but I can guarantee that time spent with Enos is fascinating! Does anyone know the name of this church? You may n...
