[edit] Article neutrality
What is questionably neutral in the Mennonites article?
For a site that encompasses hundreds of thousands of people, we should probably discuss more about this subject. Any thoughts on changes format, content, or wording of this article?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hochstetler51 (talk • contribs) 13:46, 24 February 2007 (UTC).
- If you are referring to the neutrality tag in the Worship, doctrine, and tradition section, read the POV of Types of Worship section (see the archive box above) to read the discussion of this. It certainly is time to clean it up. On a somewhat related note, I would like to see the whole "Further reading" section removed and individual entries added back if there is a consensus. If I recall correctly, bulk of that section was added about a year ago in an attempt to justify placing the article in the "Mind control" category and to skirt consensus on external links. ✤ JonHarder talk 00:14, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
I am in the process of preparing to move and joing a conservative Mennonite church in NC. I will evaluate and edit the paragraphs on Conservative based on the information I have received in the last few months. There is a good book of doctrines by Kaufman that is widely used and accepted by the conservative mennonite churches. Also, I'm not sure if the word "pacifism" is applicable. I'll look it up and see if it really applies. The doctrines of Separation from the world and Nonresistance are definitely applicable though. NC_Creeper|3/1/07|
