Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams. Wow! I've known some Mennonites and they seem to be very quite, keep to themselves kind of people. Never bother anyone and live a kind of austere life. Hard to believe this is happening to them.
I wonder if "regular" Mennonites are deciding that they are homosexuals, or are "regular" homosexuals deciding to destroy the Mennonite church.
I can't picture homosexual, practicing Mennonites. I'll own it: We Catholics can be flashy. As much as they hated Pope Benedict, you know all the queers were watching all that pageantry. Seeing all that red brings to mind where they must've come up with the word, "flaming." (NO! I am NOT insinuating anything! A lot of gays simply love pageantry; and Rome has a lot of ancient pageantry.)
And there's only one thing in the Protestant world to match the pageantry of a new pope: A royal wedding. (I imagine there may have been some disappointment at the wedding of Charles and Camilla, were it not for all those "OutRRRRRageous" hats.)
But Mennonites? MENNONITES?
Plain greys, drab blues, and here and there a lively soft blue. Period. The Mennonite women I have encountered were frequently breath-taking, but not in the "Vogue" sort of way: No Paris Hiltons (YEECCCHHH!) here! Strictly milk-fed, hearty beauties. Ironically, all those drab clothes seem to make their naturally ruddy cheeks, and sparkling eyes and healthy hair all the more stunning. If such women can't be appreciated, then it IS genetic. (hhok.)
BYYYYYY MENNEN!

Rather a garbled writer, but it's interesting information, and pretty good analysis, I think.
