Re: Questions for Anabaptists: Theologically Conservative or Evangelical

How does your church address the symbols of headship order, including men uncovering their heads during worship gatherings, but more likely addressing the practice of women covering their heads during worship gatherings? Some examples: A) Discipline - Our church holds to the traditional headship ord...

Re: Church or cult?

There are generally two definitions of "cult" that are commonly used. The first is the traditional definition of "cult": a religious sect that holds views which are deemed far to unorthodox by the majority or authorities in the religion. As an example, in the first-century Roman ...

Re: Nonviolence?

What is the basis of Mennonites supporting nonviolence? The Mennonite basis is simply the historical Christian position. Look up any Christian writings in the first 300ish years of the church, you will not find any that advocate for violence of any form or in any situation, and many writings from t...

Re: Did NT Christians appeal to secular authorities?

Paul appeals to the Roman authorities, but not "New Testament Christians." It's just Paul, as far as we know. And I think it's mostly this one ongoing case, he keeps getting shoved to a higher court by making appeals. I wouldn't say he is appealing the the Roman authorities "to interv...

Re: Another divorce question

Thinking about this due to several situations I am aware of... If you are a CA and your adult son or daughter lost his/her way and divorced (their spouse), what would your response be? The world says to side with your own child and let the in-law go. What do you think? In-law is devastated but a fa...

Re: Poll: Jewelry, Rings, and Bands

When my wife and I committed to trying to move to join a church where the wedding ring is not practiced, I decided to start right away with not wearing mine. I don't have a strong personal conviction about it, but I understand and appreciate the reasons for abstaining from wearing one. Then during a...

Re: Surnames and Sectarianism

This list is so narrow to a particular type of Anabaptist church (basically, conservative Anabaptists except not Old Orders and also not Holdemans nor Apostolics) that it is hard to imagine anyone who would be looking for that exact list who isn't already a conservative Anabaptist. It would seem to...
