Isn't that like "compassionate conservatives"?
Seriously, the following is an excerpt from a letter from Darlene's
aunt, a life-long but rather free-thinking Mennonite. The link is to
the website of the organization referred to in the letter. Isn't life
strange: from Catholicism to Luther to Menno Simons and back to
Catholicism.

This may come as a shock to some of you but I am in the process of
becoming Catholic. You may ask why? As I have traveled the grief
journey over the past almost three years I have found participating
in the Eucharist at a nearby convent extremely meaningful. My
spiritual journey has been so enriched by a regular - sometimes daily
- receiving of this mystical grace. Since I anticipate continuing
this practice I decided to do what I needed to do in order to be
legal about it. Therefore my decision to take this step. I will not
stop being Mennonite. I plan to continue with my congregation as
usual. I will be a Mennonite-Catholic. By the way, I am not alone
in this; there is a group called Bridgefolk which is composed of some
Mennonite Catholics and also Catholic Mennonites.
