From
the Introduction:
Founded in 1860,
the Mennonite Brethren Church has experienced many changes in its 150 years.
That it has been in transition throughout its life is borne out both in its
conference yearbooks and in its compilations of resolutions and
recommendations. My account of changes in the church as well as conference is
based primarily on my experiences during my eighty-seven years including sixty
years of ministry in the church. I realize that my experiences may not necessarily
apply to every local congregation or to individuals in these congregations. My
perspective and interpretation of events and situations may differ from those
of the reader. Nonetheless, my thoughts and experiences in the MBC may be of
interest and even benefit to the generations that will follow.
I may well be
justified in asking the question: Whatever happened to Mennonite Brethren
Churches?... I believe that without change there is no growth; growth is
necessary for the well-being of a church as well as for the individual.
However, have all the transitions in MB churches led to their well-being and
growth?
