This man you speak of... would he have been EPMC at one time? Yes, Wilmer was an EMPC minister If this is who I think it is, I visited his congregation and had dinner with him. Can't think what congregation he was part of but it was northern Lebanon County or Berks maybe. I've lost touch with those...

I'm curious what people see as the pros and cons of a larger versus smaller conference. Also it seems to me that the more relevant metric is total number of members in the conference, rather than total number of churches. An ordained man from the "Southern District" of Pilgrim told me he ...

I heard the other day that Pilgrim Mennonite Conference may soon be disintegrating into several different groups and that their next annual conference will be their last one. Does anyone know whether this is in fact the case? It was decided at some point that the conference would be divided when th...
