Mennonites and Lutherans
by David L. Habegger, Newton, Kan.The article “Mennonites and Lutherans Keep Talking” (March 18) reports that the issue of infant baptism remains unresolved. One possible response might be that “Mennonite congregations are encouraged to accept Lutheran members who desire to affiliate with a Mennonite congregation by transfer of membership.” This is a step I could accept. Congregations would then need to decide whether the children of such members will not be baptized as infants but be encouraged to be baptized upon their own confession of faith.
