Their website says: This fire will forever change the fabric of our community. Eight families are currently homeless, and in many cases have lost their vehicles as well as their homes. One of our neighbors, the Mahaias Family, lost their three cars as well as the equipment one family member uses for her massage therapy business. Teenager Brian Mahaias is devastated not because he has lost his belongings, but because he fears that this fire will force him to move away from this neighborhood that is his family as well as his home.

I haven’t checked out a new artist Christian music field for quite sometime now, but upon looking at his website I discovered that he was offering his all of latest album, Mockingbird, free to download. As a properly frugal Mennonite, I decided it was my duty to download it. Today I finally got around to listening to it.

So the next question for me is, how do Anabaptist churches respond to this growing movement? Surely we should join up, make connections, accept missionaries, share stories ... or something. I think it rightly calls us on our growing acculturation and a loss of distinctiveness, and with this comes a call to action. And in acting we must keep an eye to cohesive movements and not movements which will further split and divide a faith tradition which has had far too much experience in splitting in my opinion. So...HOW? Thanks for the response, Nathan.

I too have noticed definite Anabaptist ideas among the emergent church movement. Other people who are becoming better known, such as the new monastic movement and singer Derek Webb, are also trumpeting Anabaptist values. In some cases, they're doing it better than us, since we've too often become acculturated and lost our edge. I am the first to stand condemned of this. But it's exciting to see new enthusiasm among Anabaptist young people. Hopefully we can keep this going. This post is very interesting.
