Another membership change
by Kurt Horst, Somerset, Pa.
Everett Thomas may have missed one congregational transfer in the list of six in "Hyattsville Church Denied ACC Membership" (January).
Beaver Run Mennonite Church applied to Allegheny Mennonite Conference after being disciplined by Lancaster Mennonite Conference. It may not qualify, since it was actually removed from Lancaster Conference before applying to Allegheny Conference. But the same guidelines for conversations between conferences were followed.
Beaver Run Mennonite Church was accepted into "provisional" membership in Allegheny Conference with the same restrictions as those for Hyattsville but then failed to maintain viability as a congregation and never completed the membership process.
