Conservative Mennonites

And so one of our, one of the aspects of our mission at Anabaptist Perspectives is to talk about stuff in ways that is, we say, historically, biblically, theologically informed.

Um, so in this case, it's kind of a, you know, recent history for Mennonites and conservative Mennonites.

Um, how have we talked about creation in our more or less official documents? Um, so we're looking at some confessions of faith, uh, the language there, um, but also books by Mennonite leaders who-- actually, Mennonite leaders, um, who fit into two categories at the same time.

Um, so both, uh, were kind of central to the Mennonite church in their time.

In other words, they were operating from close to the center, wrote widely respected books.

Um, but also another kind of grid for those authors is authors that are still widely respected by conservative Mennonites because, you know, obviously in the last 100 years, um, the Mennonite church, as we know it, has diverged into kind of the main wing and the conservative wing.

Um, but so I'm talking specifically about documents and writers, um, that are still highly respected in conservative circles-

Mm-hmm
