I never heard of the Appalachian until now. How many congregations are there?

If Jesus were alive today, which of these things do you think he would he object to and preach against?

And Why?

Hebron - Is Northeast, split off of Pilgrim - Initial leadership consisted mostly of the original leadership of the Pilgrim movement

Appalachian - Split off of EPMC last year, receiving bishop oversight from Meadow Springs Old Order Mennonite Church until summer 2019 when they ordained their own bishop.
Having been removed from those circles for a while now. I lost touch with them. What was the Appalachian split about? Internet?

If Christ were alive today, he'd have some heavier issues to preach against than red cars and tractor pulls.

Somewhat, although I think that would be an oversimplication. There were aspects of how the decision on internet was handled in EPMC that didn't go down well with some, but there were various other things in play as well.

Jesus lowered himself to the form of a servant. Lots of relativity in your statement there Steve that could generate some great discussion :)
