They are a small, but good denomination. Traditionally, they are a peace church. They believe in living simply. They do things by example, and do not proselytize. I belonged to that church years ago. My husband was raised in that church.

It is typical of them that they would start this dialogue. I hope it gets all the support and publicity it needs. I hope that the people here who are not believers will be willing to have an open mind about them and work with them.
