Re: Anabaptism and Revivalism

Anabaptism isn't the only way to resist this, but anabaptism has the very unique and special aspect of restricting technology. This might be one of the main reasons its so successful and organically growing in such a degraded modern country. I haven't thought about this topic in awhile but the Davi...

Re: Anabaptism and Revivalism

My thoughts on this are complicated. On the one hand, I think the critiques of the established tradition can be sound. The tradition can be too rigid and disconnected in a living way from its sources. My thoughts on it are complicated also but I lean towards being rigid and disconnected. Although I...
