A host of Brethren leaders (as the Brethren Revival Fellowship would put it, a ‘who’s who’ of lefty Brethren) have submitted a statement to the Annual Conference Standing Committee. This statement is a crucial step in our history as a church. These brave souls go outside normal procedure to raise concerns about the direction of the church: how we are addressing controversial issues, and how the bullying of certain districts, congregations, groups, and individuals is threatening to tear us apart as a denomination.
Unfortunately, the only online version of the statement we have found is at the BRF website, so please do read it there, but forgive us for the commentary from the web hosts. This year’s Annual Conference will surely be an exciting time!

It is so exciting to see the (actually very moderate) respected leaders of the Church of the Brethren calling us to consier the people involved in these situations!
