Bible Note: Greetings Mychelle! Wow, we must be the "young ones" of the Forum! :-) The church that I attend is a Conservative Mennonite Church. Their stances include nonresistance (using peaceful means to resist oppression instead of warfare), Believer's baptism (they do not baptise infants), no swearing of oaths (they take Matt. 5:33-37 literally), footwashing after communion, and they have their women wear headcoverings (or veils). After being a part of that church for awhile, I have found that I really only agree with their stances on Baptism and footwashing. I believe that I have more than enough reasoning and Scripture to convince others of their stances on swearing oaths, nonresistance and that of the head covering. But I will not "make waves" and make this public, and I will continue to go with their stance as long as I am there. May it be far from me that Satan should use me to split a church. That is a little bit about my church, and thank you for asking! Your Brother in Christ, Makarios (Nolan Keck) E-mail: nkeck98@yahoo.com P.S.
