To explain why I removed references to Calvinism in this article, I sent an email to Eric Bradley as follows: |

Hi Mr. Bradley, |
|||
I minored in religion/theology at Grove City College and therefore have some theological training in my background. I was reviewing this article, and the references to Calvinism struck me as odd. None of these movements were at all "Calvinistic" if we use that term properly to describe movements that spring from Calvinism. Rather, all of the Brethren sects originate from Arminianism in the anabaptist/pietist tradition. |
|||
If I had to guess, the editor who added these references was trying to convey a minor distinction between sub-sects relative to the manner in which they seek to proselytize, i.e., the more "Calvinistic" a sect is, the less it seeks to actively proselytize. |
|||
Regardless of the editor's intent, I think it is an inappropriate use of the term. Do you agree? I don't want to jump in and do an edit unless I know I have some sort of consensus from one or two of the page's primary contributors. |

I'm wondering if there is any evidence for the stuff about the FGBC "muting" its motto and taking a new motto, as well as taking Bono as a "valuable source of instruction." I kind of doubt that this is an official stance, due to the autonomous nature of the churches in the Fellowship and the specificity of the analysis. Cnodell123 08:57, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
