The Conservative Mennonite Conference ******************** Here is a post that will help us learn more about the Conservative Mennonite Conference, which happens to be the Denomination that my church is affiliated with.. Founded: 1910 Membership: 10,334 in 102 churches (1999) The Conservative Mennonite Conference (CMC) is an autonomous affiliation of congregations within the Mennonite church that was formed in 1910 in a meeting of concerned Amish Mennonite church leaders at Pigeon, Michigan. Five ministers were in attendance, representing Amish Mennonite churches that were reluctant to adopt the Old Order Amish Mennonite conservatism toward cultural expressions. However, they were also more conservative than the prevailing Amish Mennonite and Mennonite approach of that time. The organization was known as Conservative Amish Mennonite Conference from 1912 until the present name was adopted in 1954. The CMC subsribes to the Mennonite Confession of Faith (1963) and to the Conservative Mennonite Statement of Theology (1991). These documents affirm the full humanity and full divinity of Jesus Christ, the full inspiration and autographical inerrancy of the scriptures, believers' baptism, and nonviolence. Members are expected to refrain from gambling, alcohol, tobacco, immodest attire, swearing oaths, and premarital and extra-marital sexual activity. The highest decision making body in the Conservative Mennonite Conference is the semiannual Minister's Business Meeting, which elects an executive board and a general secretary to oversee the day to day operations of the conference. The missions arm of the CMC is Rosedale Mennonite Missions. Internationally affiliated church bodies are found in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Haiti, Germany, and Kenya. Rosedale Bible Institute in Irwin, Ohio offers college-level courses in various Christian studies. The conference sponsors Bethel Mennonite Camp for youth in eastern Kentucky. The official publication of CMC is the Brotherhood Beacon. Just some facts that I wanted to share! Taken from page 218-219 of "Handbook of Denominations in the United States, 11th Ed." by Frank S. Mead and Samuel S. Hill, Revised by Craig D. Atwood. - Nolan |
