The heritage and helpfulness of these historic associations are treasured and deeply appreciated. In no case has the choice to become part of the new AMEC Alliance been a repudiation of that heritage, a rejection of Mennonite doctrinal roots or a desire to end valued friendships. On the contrary, these decisions were made to continue and strengthen best of that heritage, in faithfulness to our biblical understandings. It was not dissatisfaction with relationships or resistance to change. Rather it was a growing awareness of the damaging effect on the mission and witness of the church by theological pluralism, doctrinal ambiguities and moral confusion that prompted the search for a way to continue on the biblical foundations on which our churches were originally established.
