Mennonite Brethren Herald welcomes your letters on issues relevant to the Mennonite Brethren Church, especially in response to material published in the Herald . Please keep your letters courteous, brief and about one subject only. We will edit letters for length and clarity. We will not publish letters sent anonymously, although we may withhold names from publication at the request of the letter writer and at our discretion.
Publication is also subject to space limitations.
Because the Letters column is a free forum for discussion, it should be understood that letters represent the position of the letter writer, not necessarily the position of the Herald or the Mennonite Brethren Church. The Sept. 8 issue was very informative on why Mennonites approach baptism and church membership as one issue, but it failed to give other points of view leaving the impression that Mennonites feel they have absolute wisdom on this issue, and it does not warrant further discussion. This does not reflect the humility which Christians should have. The people baptized by John the Baptist were baptized upon confession of their sins. I recently attended baptism services in a Pentecostal church.
