Becoming an Anabaptist

[PlainMeteorologist]

I started attending a Mennonite church less than a year ago. It was a very circuitous route to get to the Anabaptist faith, after being raised as a Catholic. There are a few other families at my church in a similar situation, but the vast majority of the church consists of "cradle Mennonite" families. Is there anyone else who has become an Anabaptist after being brought up in a different faith?

I wasn't raised much in a church going home-we got sent to a local baptist church on occasion...I moved up to PA, was converted to Christianity by a friend I knew in the USMC, and then went to work for some mennonite folks and was discipled under them...

Meteorologist huh? My wife thinks you guys are just the greatest--at least she watches all she can, a real weather nut.

My wife gets the credit for first introducing me to the Anabaptist faith--she was fascinated by it long before we became Mennonites. I guess God was leading her early on. ;)

I'm glad somebody thinks meteorologists are great. Lots of people poke fun at the inexactness of the science, and often times I cannot blame them.

I confess I do my share of picking on them...I mean it sounds like a great job if you can get it.

Differant faith BEFORE...I guess that would have to be me...I was not even a Christian!

I was raised nominal catholic and became mennonite at age 34.
