Amish & Mennonites Speak as One Rally 11/1/20 in Washington DC

Why does seven mountains theology need a stage in Washington?

Washington represents the mountain of government; never mind that DC is mostly flat. "Seven Floodplains" theology just isn't catchy enough, I guess, but the stage could be useful in case of a sudden downpour that overwhelms the drainage infrastructure.

Hmmm, yes I see... That makes as much sense as Anabaptists joining partisan political campaigns.

I used to live in the Maryland suburbs of DC and bike downtown for my summer job at the Labor Department. I assure you DC is not mostly flat. There is the higher section which is crossed by valleys and the lower section. There is over a 300-foot elevation difference between where Connecticut Avenue enters DC and the Mall.

Anabaptists are once again getting swept up in God and Country theology and really need to go back to their basic tenet of separation of church and state.

There's some variation in topography, of course; I was using a bit of poetic license to point out irony in the 7MM label. The National Geographic suggests a mountain should be at least 1000 feet above the surroundings, with steeply sloping sides. There are certainly Hills in the District, but I remain skeptical that any deserve to be called mountains; other than, perhaps, the mountain of red tape.

Without looking it up, does anyone know the difference between a lake and a pond?

One's bigger.

[steve-in-kville]

One's bigger.

Acreage has nothing to do with it, amazingly

[Joy]

Volume?

[steve-in-kville]

Volume?

To be classified as a lake, there must be an area on the bottom that does not get sunlight. So, in a sense, its depth.

(waiting for our resident science teacher to come along and tell me how I'm only half right.... )
