Re: Growing Up Mennonite
It's interesting to see this thread back up and whatnot, from a few recent posts.
I've been enjoying some good Mennonite music, from the Mountain Anthem singers, their songs are all in English, and lately I've been on beachyam.org (it seems I get on an Anabaptist website tangent from time to time)...
Anyways, I don't know if this has been asked before or not, or perhaps there is something you could point me to to answer my question-
Brother Hoover, Can you explain the Old Order Mennonites difference from the Old Order Amish? These Old Order Mennonites seem more consevative than some Amish people I know, like the Beachy Amish, but then more conservative than any kind of Mennonite I can think of, whether it be Holdeman or Conservative Mennonite. Therefore, I am wondering where the Old Order Mennonites fit into all of this. Is it shunning that keeps them from being Amish? Do all Amish shun, but no Mennonites shun? Is there some other criteria that separates them? Do Old Order Mennonites have meetinghouses?
-Bro. Alex
