Perspective note
Comparative historical/source study. The original author's or church's reception is retained; inclusion does not make every claim Oriental Orthodox teaching.
Key points
- Bergfeld’s June 2025 gathering included testimony, baptism, reception into membership and Communion.
- This is a study of a named service, not a universal Mennonite liturgy.
- Evangelical Mennonite Mission Conference; Bergfeld Mennonite Church; Southern Manitoba, Canada. June 22, 2025 baptism and Communion study. This EMMC example is not an Amish community and does not prescribe music or architecture for all Anabaptists. EMMC permits immersion or pouring. Foot washing is not documented for this Bergfeld service; MC USA Article 13 separately records congregational variation.
- Coordinates, dimensions, materials, room envelope, seat counts and unspecified furniture placement are illustrative rather than surveyed measurements. Teaching sources establish practices, not architectural dimensions. Service equipment is temporary where labeled.
