Has Conestoga since joined CMC or are they still part of the ACC? They remain in ACC. After the departure of G&T there was no interest in changing affiliation. Reading back through the thread, I owe HK an update. Conestoga moved from ACC to LMC a couple years ago. This was partly due to recruit...

JP Meier writes in Volume I of A Marginal Jew: Paul, Mark, John, Josephus and perhaps Luke in Acts 1:14 speak independently of the “brother(s) of Jesus” (or the Lord). Most of their statements yoke the brothers (and at times sisters) directly with Mary the mother of Jesus in phrases like “his mothe...

I think that’s called shoehorning. But I get it, you’re a zealous convert.

War is never the answer or appropriate response. There are always better ways. I don’t think that’s right. Your statement is more Gandhi than it is Jesus.

Can you be more specific about the un- biblical critique? Outside of the U.S., there is a branch of Followers of the Way in Uganda, but Milioni said foreign missionary work is frowned upon. “I am calling for an end to the era of Western missions,” Miloni said. “They don’t need us for the gospel, bu...

I have no objection at all. I think it’s a good book to read, and is particularly foundational to Western history, intellectual, and the enlightenment. I was just saying it’s not something Anabaptists either early or present have given much thought to, and rarely would read or even recognise. Gotch...

Milioni’s take on missions in this article is, to use their terminology, “not biblical” and results in a balkanization of the church. More to the point, it’s flat wrong and is more a reflection of some worldly zeitgeist than anything approaching a Christian and Biblical missiology. Another person qu...
