The Purpose of FCM

The Fellowship of Concerned Mennonites is a coalition of like-minded Mennonites whose concerns focus upon the basic biblical tenets of faith which have been the foundations of the sector of the Reformation of the sixteenth century known as the Anabaptist Movement, with special interest in that segment of Anabaptism called Mennonite.

The Fellowship has been called into being because certain of those basic biblical tenets of faith long held as foundational currently are being questioned, modified, even negated, and, because, by general acknowledgement, the Mennonite Church membership contains a wide range of conservative elements on the one hand, and liberal elements on the other, with the latter seemingly gaining the ascendancy, and, because at issue is the control of thought through the schools and through the publication of literature, and, because in the present confusion of ideas there is need for a fundamental, distinctive, uniform, and consistent expression of faith.

The Fellowship is open to any and all who shared the concerns defined in the paragraphs under affirmations and objectives. Those who identify with the Fellowship are encouraged to support it by prayers and funds.
