[Faith-talk] mennonites was Church of Christ singing

[Joshua Lester]

Some Quakers in Pennsylvania, also use the Pennsylvania Dutch.
We had a circuit preacher, that rode a bicycle everywhere he went.
William Minor, was his name.
He was a very good speaker, (IMO.)
He was more elloquent than the pastor of my quaker church, who spoke
in a monotone voice, and stumbled over the words.
He'd read John, 3:16, and every other word was followed up with a long :Uh."
Blessings, Joshua
