Re: Appalachian Mennonite Church
I know this thread meandered a bit….such is life. I do wonder, does anyone KNOW, not a single person telling someone here their opinion, but really know on a more wide spread basis, has there been a groundswell of feeling in Eastern about unfair or troublesome ordination practices? "Losing the...

Dispensationalism II
Over the last 75 years, many people influenced by Dispensationalist teachers, have found all sorts of verses in the Bible that seem to them to find fulfillment in events happening in the Mideast and how countries around the world respond to these events. Every decade or so, they need to come up wit...

Re: Musical Instruments
Respectfully, no Josh. "conservative" is not a well defined thing. using the terms devised by one converted River Brethern who wrote a book doesn't constitute well defined. FWIIW, within the context of what he was writing about, I'm well on aboard with his terminology. But to assume it's ...

Re: Dispensationalism, John Darby, etc.
It seems worth reiterating at this point that not all of us pre-mill types are wholesale Dispensationalists, nor do we all pin all of our hopes and dreams on particular dates and exactly assumed timeline, even if we see a chronological order suggested in Scripture. 8-) I concur that it is good to r...

Re: Transitional Anabaptist churches
Is Eastern transitional?
Is the Pennsylvania old order car church (I think it's Weaverland) transitional?

Re: Is there a relationship between eschatology and how one experiences society
It may be that how one experiences society affects one's eschatology. George M. Marsden finds that the late-19th century changes in American society removed evangelicals from a place of prominence. Postmillenial optimism gave way to premillenial pessimism about the direction of society. Marsden's bo...

Re: Salvation.
Robert Friedmann was an Austrian Jew who served in the Austrian army during World War I. His experiences in the war caused his interests to change from engineering to history. One of Friedmann's professors in graduate school assigned him to research Hutterite codices. In them, Friedmann discovered w...

Re: Headcovering Fabric
It would be great if the staunch traditionalists could admit their biases (they just like traditions regardless of how sensible or not) and that those who claim to be trying to trend more "biblical" could also admit the direction they are headed (I'm currently scoring nearly 100% on peopl...

Re: Let’s talk about airplanes
I come from the "world," specifically from middle class professional society. (Think "engineer," not "doctor." Think "public school in a good district", not "private school.") When I was little, my grandfather on my Dad's side would sometimes take th...

Re: For the sake of discussion... Hope vs. Pilgrim
I am told that after Aaron Shank's passing, the then-Pilgrim Conference bishops Ivan Martin Jr. and Steve Ebersole became unable to work together. Eventually Ivan Martin Jr., most of the ministry, and the more-conservative people left to form Northeastern. Today, Pilgrim Conference is less conserva...
