Has the Mennonite Christian wing had enough?
It looks like many of those in the Mennonite church who are fed up with hypocrisy where following Jesus is concerned are organizing a new denomination in the face of the growing blight of apostasy in the Mennonite Church USA.
Hopefully the new Mennonite group will do a better job of reclaiming their denominational heritage than ELCA spinoffs like the NALC and the LCMC have done. The first step is to bring front and center a distinction which the Lutheran breakaway groups have followed the ELCA in largely ignoring: the distinction between exegesis (interpreting Scripture) and eisegesis (imposing one's own agenda on it).
