Weaverland Old Order Mennonite Conference

The Weaverland Old Order Mennonite Conference is a Christian denomination of Old Order Mennonites, which divided in 1927 over disagreements over the use of automobiles. Those opposed to car usage became the Groffdale Conference Mennonite Church (also named for Bishop Joseph Wenger). The remainder of the Weaverland Conference are known known as the Horning Church or "Black-bumper Mennonites" for their past custom of purchasing cars but covering up the flashy chrome with black paint.[1]
